If you\u2019re overwhelmed in your business \u2013 you\u2019re not alone, these exercises can help.\nI absolutely love being an entrepreneur. I love the variety, the challenge of it, the people I get to learn from, and most importantly, the people I have the honor of teaching. I\u2019m also incredibly grateful for the fact that I get to wake up every morning and do something that lights me up.\nBeing an entrepreneur is a lot at times -- and I\u2019m sure you can relate. I won\u2019t lie -- I\u2019m going through a time where I feel like the weight of the world (and my business) is on my shoulders. I have a hundred plates spinning in the air, and at any given moment, one could drop.\nLuckily, I have a few grounding tools and exercises in my arsenal to help redirect my overwhelm, and come back to planet Earth when I start to lose my footing. Over the years, I\u2019ve found that these little tricks have helped me get through even the toughest of times -- and I\u2019m sharing them in this episode. You\u2019ll learn:\n\nWhat I tell myself to quiet my mind when things are stressful\n\nThe strategy I use to pull myself out of busy business overwhelm\n\nThe two things I\u2019ve incorporated into my daily routine to keep me grounded\n\nWhy being with yourself, and others, is the key to overcoming difficult times\n\nSo if you\u2019re feeling the stress of doing a million different things and wearing a million different hats, tune in and take notes!\nHere\u2019s a glance at this episode...\n\n[04:34] When things get tough, I remind myself that I'm in a season and this too shall pass. It helps me rein in negative thoughts and have a much better mindset.\n\n[06:05] You\u2019ve got to be grateful for both the good and the bad. There's ebbs, and there's flows with everything in life.\n\n[07:01] I have to strategically think about how to get through the tough times when things are overwhelming. One thing I do is call on friends and leaders in the industry and ask questions.\n\n[08:27] I meditate for 10 minutes a day using the Calm app. I've made it a goal to be consistent on Monday through Friday. I also do breathing exercises.\xa0\n\n[12:07] When I have too many plates spinning in the air, I have to be honest with myself. I can't be afraid to ask for support from my team and delegate when I need to. It also helps having a VA.\n\n[14:00] There's no shame in putting off a few items on your calendar. Time moves quickly, and it will be here like that. Give yourself room to breathe.\n\nRate, Review, & Follow on Apple Podcasts\n"I love Amy and Online Marketing Made Easy." <-- If that sounds like you, please consider rating and reviewing my show!
