And the advice to do less only made me more overwhelmed.

That's when I stumbled into something I now call the still point method, a way of using small moments throughout my day to change not how much I had to do, but how I felt while I was doing it.

And so I wanted to build something I wish I'd had eight years ago so you don't have to stumble towards an answer.

That something is now here, and it's called Overwhelm is Optional, Tools for When You Can't Do Less.

It's an email course that fits into moments you already have, taking less than 10 minutes total a day.

It isn't about doing less.

It's about relating differently to what you do.

Overwhelm is optional.

Go to OneYouFeed.net slash overwhelm.

That's OneYouFeed.net slash overwhelm.

As we're talking, I'm thinking often about in my own life where my emotions do overwhelm me and I don't act the way that I want to act.

And I'm thinking about how even after the fact, we can still pause.

We can still reflect.

And we can go try and fix, you know, like I'll sometimes just say to my partner, Jenny, like that was not the me I want to be to you.

Like I was upset.

And so the me that came out is not the me that I want to be.

Here's who I want to be.

Here's my intention.

I fell short this time.

I'm going to keep trying to do better, you know, and that ability, even after we've become overwhelmed, right?
