When i get overwhelmed, I feel like I need to do everything at once and then start to get easily aggravated with everything. Even though I start doing things I still feel like I'm disorganized or have way more to do until I'm done. I could write myself a checklist and mark things off to feel that I'm making progress, but I will still feel stressed that I'm still not done
My trick for this is to remind myself that it's OK if things aren't completely done, and stop trying to be a perfectionist. If you are often a perfectionist, you can even trick yourself by challenging yourself to purposely not finish something on your to-do list. You get points for accepting that you did NOT finish something. and taking a bit of time to unwind and relax. Take a few moments to breathe, close your eyes, get a drink of water, splash your face with water, whatever you need in the moment, then center yourself to get started on just one thing.
@@lishayost44 this is great advice for me, thanks! Often times I find it hard to even get started for my self care. The important stuff I do get prioritized. Probably because of the adrenalin for the "consequences" if I don't. I feel like I can't do it, I have pain and I'm so tired, I'll wait till I feel better. Executive dysfunction at it's finest? I'm not sure how to tackle this, except for just doing it. Which sounds super easy, but not sure what's holding me back. The lack of self love alone..? I try to be kind and gentle with self. It's so frustrating in my mind I'm in ongoing battle. Well, hope we all get better each day one step at a time. We made it so far. I'm so grateful we're able to connect here as well through this lovely lady, she's so loving and helpful! 🌌💖💫
@@bbdn5123 I have not found a way to just get motivated. For me, I just have to do it even if I'm not motivated. Sometimes I do, sometimes I don't. But grace beats shame every time!
God, yes! Me! I tend to get very angry (afterwards I realise I'm angry at my lack of insight about the situation), then I just either give up or sabotage myself. ☹
I know a couple ladies who were in the SAME position!!!! I know a couple who had never conceived with help from OB physicians,etc. one thing they had in common, they were overweight. The 2 biggest miracles happened after they had started a diet called Atkins. Bizarre??? Maybe but that’s the truth. For one of the ladies,she had a daughter than twin boys, both doing the diet. Praying WORKS also!!!!! Trust me
“You’ve gotten through all the weeks until now.” 😭 this brought tears to my eyes! 😭 I’m still standing!! 💪 thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I needed to hear that!!!

Greek Hearthstone same !! literally thought i was the only one .. have gotten into little arguments with loved ones when overwhelmed because i am not able to understand things ://
I'm so glad to know I'm not the only one who gets that Sunday depression every week! This video is SO helpful! I've spent years in therapy and been to five therapists and I have to say that your videos are more helpful and useful than all the years of therapy that I've gone to with the exception of my first therapist in college. Thank you so much for this wonderful gift of knowledge and self help. You are a blessing and I hope the best for you and your baby!!!
try vipassana meditation it will help u to cure ur depression completely and u will become such a happy and a peaceful person i have done vipassana myself and tremendous changes have came in my life in just 1 vipassana course..do surely try vipassana its a life changing art
I get severe Sunday depression and it usually is very repetitive; and so intense to the point that unknowingly I break into a mental breakdown centering Sunday where I question a lot of things in life. I used to think I am the only one.
Not gonna lie, Grace took away all the pressure and overwhelmed mind. She's so adorable that I felt so happy to watch her. And I must appreciate your advice as well. Thank you for saving me from all the stress I had.💝
Gracie has it right. When you feel overwhelmed sit in your mom's lap. It worked for all of us at one time. Unfortunately we couldn't do it forever. Too bad we can't remember the feeling we had and summon it when we need it. Keep up the good work. You always make so much sense.
I was trying to pay attention to what was being taught, but my goodness, that little baby had most of my attention. I was smiling and feeling better by just watching her. ❤
My problem is more depression than anxiety, and when I get overwhelmed, I tend to shut down. I've been working on myself for a bunch of years. I'm 70 now, but that doesn't mean that the procrastination monster doesn't still get me. Thank you so much for this video, Emma! I find your list of steps very helpful!
When I feel overwhelmed and freezed... I watch this video of yours Emma.. just hearing your kind, sympathetic, calm reassuring voice in this video give me instant calm and peaceful feeling.
To me it's more like: Everything needs to be done at once. So I get overwhelmed and nothing done. To be fair, if there is an urgent issue I tackle it with the adrenalin rush. Which is generously sponsored by the fear of negative consequences if I don't get those things done. So, then I'm a soldier and do the things (with my super tensed body). And then I'm even extra exhausted to even do anything. I hope everyone remembers to hold on and do your best and God takes care of the rest. 🌌💖💫
I've been practicing this more as a way to recover from several years of being stuck in a deep cycle of anxiety and depression. I tend to procrastinate cleaning my apartment, especially due to my job that wears me out, so this week I broke everything up instead of trying to do a bunch of it at once. I've also been working on adjusting my focus so I can learn programming and get out of the aforementioned crappy job, but I keep backsliding a bit there.
i will recommend u vipassana meditation.it will really help u with ur issues and not only ur issues it will change ur life also.it will purify ur mind and make.u a happier person and a peacefull person in life try vipassana once
To heal from two major narcissistic situations in my life, I have been listening to many therapist on UA-cam for over five years now. You have a soothing voice that makes me feel safe which makes me more open to your counseling.
hey i will recommend u vipassana meditation it will help u to remove sadness from ur life and will make u a happy person.i have done the meditation my self and its really life changing ..till this day am surprised how much change this meditation made in my life i have done only one course yet..and am planning to do more

I'm absolutely paralyzed, frozen, overwhelmed because there is too much to do. Always. Single mother and I've been freezing like this for years, periods of being unable to get out of bed, or I run around being crazy- yet I could never find a professional to explain this! So grateful I finally found an answer to why I'm doing it!!!!! (Ooooo all or nothing thinking.... I have BPD. I'm surprised I don't hear more about this in the BPD community!) ... just finished video, I'm going to watch it again💙💙 From someone in therapy her entire life, this is info I've never heard. Thank you 💙✌️🌺 beautiful baby!😍 Edit: I like you. You're cool. And you reached my cold black heart 🖤 😆 🌿 😂😂🌺🤦🏻♀️ jk 🌼🌼
Praying the Holy Rosary (meditation on scenes from the Bible while praying) has made an immense difference in my life. Praying in general too. I have not words to explain what a blessing it has been for me and my children (also a single mother). God is good. Always. One can rest and be supported in unimaginable ways through the grace of God.

If you're overwhelmed, just look at this adorable baby! So cute! You'll forget all your problems 😀 Your videos are great and they help me so much, thanks 👍
I literally had a breakdown earlier today. I just felt frantic. I was like, “why? It’s not working out. I should just get a job”. I have been trying to get customers for my work, and it’s just taking time. I was also sad that my hand being damaged is getting in the way of my art. I sometimes feel like my body is against me, but I know it’s trying it’s best. I love my body. I just wish my body were stronger. I just gotta remember to take my medicine.
If you have the ability to create art, do it as much as you can. Sorry, That must really suck if you are an artist with a damaged hand. Look out for out of the box solutions if available. When it occurs badly, take a step back, give yourself an hour or so rest a bit without feeling any guilt. I am so mentally exhausted after work that I barely can get chores done, look for a career, etc…..much less work on any kind of creative outlet. I am always struggling to keep my job and keep up with a raised # of production standards.
1:12am where I am right now... clicked on this because I'm currently overwhelmed by assignment due tomorrow! thank you, your words and your BEAUTIFUL baby made me feel better ❤️
In addition to all your extremely helpful techniques, you should bring this cutie pie into your sessions! She's seems to be a kind of therapy on her own!
I recently found your channel as the relationship with my BPD spouse reached a boil over point. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Your kindness and thoughtful words have really been helpful for me to accept I can’t “fix” other people. You’ve given me a better understanding of what willingness and avoidance really is. A million hugs to you.
I love it that you made eye contact with her, even though you were talking to (for) the camera. Making her feel important is such a high priority. I'm reading Reclaiming Conversation by Sherry Turkle right now... so many people are distracted by their devices and other things, and they are neglecting their children. Neglect causes all kinds of mental disorders, it seems...
I get overwhelmed easily because of my adhd. I definitely freeze and avoid. Thank you so much for your amazing advice as a wife and mom and full time worker at 56 years old, listening to you and seeing your beautiful little one made me happy today!!!! 😊
Thankyou. RN i'm so overwhelmed i'm just holding back tears and I felt so alone I searched for what to do and this video felt like someone was there. Thankyou.
Same here. I was thinking I would need to listen again, and intentionally NOT watch! I got to hold a one-year-old for a little while today. I had forgotten how nice it is to hold a baby!
YAYESSS!!! A DECENT human being. I have NEVER seen so much negativity in the world these past 4 years, it is ridiculous the sheer hate you witness on a daily basis. It’s not seen today, motherly love. Your soul should crave it #prolife ♥️
I shut down and do nothing except things I want to do, I find it so toxic when I rationally want to do my work and be the best person I can be but can’t because of the side of me that allows procrastination to take over I need to get good grades for what I want to do but instead I’m dwelling in guilt that consists of the things that I am not doing.
This may have already been stated but you're a great inspiration/antidote against being overwhelmed. You multi-tasked video-recording while holding and interacting with your beautiful baby Go Mum!
What a little calm cutie !! Thanks for the video. I feel that my anticipatory anxiety is very high when I try leave my home. But I agree the first step is always the hardest ...
Totally feel ya on the anticipatory anxiety! I'm always playing out potential scenarios in my mind and how to prepare for possible problems...it's freakin' exhausting. Currently chain watching these videos, they're awesome :)
Needed this. I am always multitasking with two kids and house chores. I feel overwhelmed a lot. Great advice! I've been prioritizing my task lately so that's been helping

your baby is seriously cute and how lucky they are that they have a super mom like you who help tons of viewers suffering from mental illness. thank you for your videos. I had a really bad intrusive thoughts in the morning, and I watched your videos till I feel less anxious.
Watching the look on little Graces face when she was looking up at you was just priceless! It made me smile, thank you for sharing her with us, oh and thank you for your wonderful videos🥰
That baby is SO ADORABLE. I love babies. I'm not feeling anxious nor overwhelmed, but had I been feeling that, I got so engrossed in watching your sweet baby, that it would have completely removed any anxiety or overwhelm!
Thank you, Emma!!! There is SOMETHING about your voice and your pacing that just settles me down!! Was spazzing!! Now have hope. If I could just get out of my own way!!! ... God Blessed you with such perfect attributes for the work you do! And blessed me with finding you!💜
I have watched this video for 4 times already, and just now I could digest and apply the content. I have just become aware about the thoughts and emotions that are discussed. Despite the fact, that I understood everything watching it before, it was like "yeah, yeah, I should do it", and just now I remembered situations from my life where I was avoiding things to do and people, because I have put too much stress on myself, telling myself that I have to be able to do it all. I have just realised how can I apply those simple and straightforward rules. Thank you for this video !
I've been fighting a thing called "the Sunday Blues for a good many years now... good news, your ACT approach of searching for cognitive dissonance and guilt, all or nothing thinking, and being kind to myself is helping!
Somewhere between nutrition health and depression I found your videos almost 3 weeks ago. Since then I watch them just about every day now. It has been helping me alot! Thank you so much! This one is super cute today too!
I am so glad I found you, you remind me of my daughter. Your little girl is such a sweetie! It’s true we can’t control the world, so we need to get a kind handle on ourselves. I only wish I wasn’t 64 and really realizing my dynamics of my life, but being kind to ourselves and appreciating our contributions is really good.
I appreciate your videos, they help. I'm 71 & Struggle with anxiety & depression. I take Paxil which helps. Today I did feel somewhat overwhelmed. I just did what was needed for today, and just relaxed. I know the overwhelmed feeling will pass.
Your videos are extremely helpful!!!! There’s a calming genuine nature about you that I really really like and am gravitated towards! Precious baby!!! Thank you for your informative videos!!!
This was very helpful and inspiring! Thank you so much. I was feeling so overwhelmed and lost and your video anchored me to a place of feeling capable and connected. Thank you ❤
Wow!!!’ I’m already doing this!!!! I have been creating to do list every Monday. I get overwhelmed but if I tackle one thing at a time I realize I’ve done 5 things. Oh my goodness! I think I’m starting to heal!!!!!
Moving house!! My mother too, and she's 87. She's really struggling emotionally, this will help. I have to admit to not listening as much as possible, as i was gazing at your baby, that wee nose and smile! Maybe she's the antidote! Thanks 😊
Your baby is precious!!! I literally thought she was a baby doll at first lol and it was part of your video. And then I realized it's not a baby doll and a real baby! 😊 She is PRECIOUS!! Love this video as well!! 🥰🥰
OH that beautiful baby girl 😍. Thank you for this awesome video! I was completely panicking before watching it. Now, on paper, I realize I have a lot more time to do everything I need to do and it looks much more manageable with small steps!
It took me a LONG time to learn that saying "no" is not letting anybody down, and that others will not stop liking or respecting me for saying "no"! And it took me a, LONG time to realise that I cannot live somebody else's life or expectations. I still try and keep everything under control but am now able to happily admit that I am not Superwoman and it's not the end of the world if I don't get through all the items on my "to do" list!!
Oh my goodness. Thank you so much!! Wow!! I could not verbalize or fully understand what was going wrong. This was it! As a single mom of 3 , business owner and elder care taker I truely appreciate this info right here !!
I just have to say, I love how Emma was looking at you and the love displayed between the both of you. It was the cherry on top for this excellent video.
by looking at your adorable baby I feel good already! she must have been fed well before the video..she could hold still for a while and give her mom a gaze from time to time😍

When it occurs badly, take a step back, give yourself an hour or so rest a bit without feeling any guilt. I am so mentally exhausted after work that I barely can get chores done, look for a career, etc…..much less work on any kind of creative outlet. I am always struggling to keep my job and keep up with a raised # of production standards.
You are an amazing therapist. Knowledgeable and engaging. Thank you 🙏
I needed this, thank you so much ❤️
1:12am where I am right now... clicked on this because I'm currently overwhelmed by assignment due tomorrow! thank you, your words and your BEAUTIFUL baby made me feel better ❤️
In addition to all your extremely helpful techniques, you should bring this cutie pie into your sessions! She's seems to be a kind of therapy on her own!
I recently found your channel as the relationship with my BPD spouse reached a boil over point. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Your kindness and thoughtful words have really been helpful for me to accept I can’t “fix” other people. You’ve given me a better understanding of what willingness and avoidance really is. A million hugs to you.
I love it that you made eye contact with her, even though you were talking to (for) the camera. Making her feel important is such a high priority. I'm reading Reclaiming Conversation by Sherry Turkle right now... so many people are distracted by their devices and other things, and they are neglecting their children. Neglect causes all kinds of mental disorders, it seems...
Important takeaway for me is just start. Do one thing forget the rest...for now
What a precious, content baby! Her smiles to mama warm my heart.
I get overwhelmed easily because of my adhd. I definitely freeze and avoid. Thank you so much for your amazing advice as a wife and mom and full time worker at 56 years old, listening to you and seeing your beautiful little one made me happy today!!!! 😊
That little cutie on your lap was my momentary antidote ❤️
I'm always saying to myself "One thing at a time, one thing at a time" your video really helps thank you....btw she is a little darling.
There is immense power in doing just one thing…. ❤
Thankyou. RN i'm so overwhelmed i'm just holding back tears and I felt so alone I searched for what to do and this video felt like someone was there. Thankyou.
I’m here hyperventilating.........
Thank you so much for this video
Crying from a panic attack. Glad I’m not crazy, this video should help ❤️ We got this
🙌🏼 together we stand
Me too Karla, crying like a baby!!!! But thank God for this lady. Joyce Meyers really helped me too. The title is Contentment.
Take care!
Listening to your voice alone helps my anxiety 😊 Your lil baby girl is so precious!! She keeps staring at you 🥺 so so sweet 💗
She’s so sweet! Thank you for the video, the tips and the time you give us. And thanks to Grace for the wonderful smiles❤️
Oh my goodness that sweet little angel steals this show! I couldn't stay focused on you talking because I kept looking at that little darling!!!
Same here. I was thinking I would need to listen again, and intentionally NOT watch!
I got to hold a one-year-old for a little while today. I had forgotten how nice it is to hold a baby!
It’s baby therapy! ;)
Me too. So lovely to see such a content and well taken care of baby.
same here
YAYESSS!!! A DECENT human being. I have NEVER seen so much negativity in the world these past 4 years, it is ridiculous the sheer hate you witness on a daily basis. It’s not seen today, motherly love. Your soul should crave it #prolife ♥️
I shut down and do nothing except things I want to do, I find it so toxic when I rationally want to do my work and be the best person I can be but can’t because of the side of me that allows procrastination to take over I need to get good grades for what I want to do but instead I’m dwelling in guilt that consists of the things that I am not doing.
Same 😣☹️
This may have already been stated but you're a great inspiration/antidote against being overwhelmed. You multi-tasked video-recording while holding and interacting with your beautiful baby Go Mum!
Thanks!
My ability to focus on the task of watching this video is hard...your baby is so cute!
🤔 😍
Thanks
All I need in life to calm me down and get me focused, are you and my Indian gurus. You are amazing. Thank you so much for your channel.
Excellent ideas. I’m feeling overwhelmed almost every day. This helps me.
What a sweet little girl, I found myself shilling and laugning when she looked up and smiled at you! So sweet!!
What a little calm cutie !! Thanks for the video. I feel that my anticipatory anxiety is very high when I try leave my home. But I agree the first step is always the hardest ...
Totally feel ya on the anticipatory anxiety! I'm always playing out potential scenarios in my mind and how to prepare for possible problems...it's freakin' exhausting. Currently chain watching these videos, they're awesome :)
Needed this. I am always multitasking with two kids and house chores. I feel overwhelmed a lot. Great advice! I've been prioritizing my task lately so that's been helping

your baby is seriously cute and how lucky they are that they have a super mom like you who help tons of viewers suffering from mental illness. thank you for your videos. I had a really bad intrusive thoughts in the morning, and I watched your videos till I feel less anxious.
This channel has been able to help me so much in just the past month alone.
Possibly the best anxiety coach on UA-cam.
Yes very true
HOW CUTE IS THAT BABY😭😍
Watching the look on little Graces face when she was looking up at you was just priceless! It made me smile, thank you for sharing her with us, oh and thank you for your wonderful videos🥰
That baby is SO ADORABLE. I love babies. I'm not feeling anxious nor overwhelmed, but had I been feeling that, I got so engrossed in watching your sweet baby, that it would have completely removed any anxiety or overwhelm!
It’s a year later and your baby is now an adorable toddler! I can’t help thinking that your husband and three kids are so lucky to have you!
Watching your interaction with your baby is SO precious. I feel better already 🙂
Thank you, Emma!!! There is SOMETHING about your voice and your pacing that just settles me down!! Was spazzing!! Now have hope. If I could just get out of my own way!!! ... God Blessed you with such perfect attributes for the work you do! And blessed me with finding you!💜
You are amazing! Thank you so much for your generosity and willingness to spread knowledge, compassion and love.
This young one its totally taking in all the sounds around her..just the familiarity of moms voice.
i keep feeling overwhelmed over the tiniest things and it leads to so much procrastinating:( you seem so sweet and your baby is adorable!!!!
thank you for holding your baby! it's so wonderful to see you as a mother we all juggle many hats. thank you so much for all you do.
I'll never forget this film. The baby girl assigned so many positive feelings to it.
I LOVE how Grace looks up at you and Then Smiles!!! xoxoxo
I loved the content itself,but Grace's cameo presence is absolutely blessed and lovable, it helped me not feel overwhelmed anymore in itself.
I love how little Grace smiles when you say her name. Gorgeous!
I love how you always make things feel manageable!
Fantastic video and the way your baby occasionally looks up at mum with an encouraging smile was just beautiful ❤
I have watched this video for 4 times already, and just now I could digest and apply the content. I have just become aware about the thoughts and emotions that are discussed. Despite the fact, that I understood everything watching it before, it was like "yeah, yeah, I should do it", and just now I remembered situations from my life where I was avoiding things to do and people, because I have put too much stress on myself, telling myself that I have to be able to do it all. I have just realised how can I apply those simple and straightforward rules. Thank you for this video !
I have been feeling overwhelmed lately. I'm so glad I have found your channel.
grace is blessed for listening a good lecture in free time
I've been fighting a thing called "the Sunday Blues for a good many years now... good news, your ACT approach of searching for cognitive dissonance and guilt, all or nothing thinking, and being kind to myself is helping!
I was haven't a breakdown today with 7 children 3 properties and a crap load of classes and no external support I was feeling CRUSHED 😢 💔 THANK YOU
Somewhere between nutrition health and depression I found your videos almost 3 weeks ago. Since then I watch them just about every day now. It has been helping me alot! Thank you so much! This one is super cute today too!
Pulled up UA-cam for something to listen to while I worked on what was overwhelming me and there you were!!!! Thanks!
I am so glad I found you, you remind me of my daughter. Your little girl is such a sweetie! It’s true we can’t control the world, so we need to get a kind handle on ourselves. I only wish I wasn’t 64 and really realizing my dynamics of my life, but being kind to ourselves and appreciating our contributions is really good.
I'm a CIT and I enjoy your videos. I share them with others as part of my people helping tool bag.
Thank you😊
thank you esp for 4:44 and onward. you dont know how happy i am to discover your channel.
I appreciate your videos, they help. I'm 71 & Struggle with anxiety & depression. I take Paxil which helps. Today I did feel somewhat overwhelmed. I just did what was needed for today, and just relaxed. I know the overwhelmed feeling will pass.
Grace makes me feel HAPPY!!
Your videos are extremely helpful!!!!
There’s a calming genuine nature about you that I really really like and am gravitated towards! Precious baby!!!
Thank you for your informative videos!!!
This was very helpful and inspiring! Thank you so much. I was feeling so overwhelmed and lost and your video anchored me to a place of feeling capable and connected. Thank you ❤
Wow!!!’ I’m already doing this!!!! I have been creating to do list every Monday. I get overwhelmed but if I tackle one thing at a time I realize I’ve done 5 things. Oh my goodness! I think I’m starting to heal!!!!!
Moving house!! My mother too, and she's 87. She's really struggling emotionally, this will help.
I have to admit to not listening as much as possible, as i was gazing at your baby, that wee nose and smile! Maybe she's the antidote! Thanks 😊
Your baby is precious!!! I literally thought she was a baby doll at first lol and it was part of your video. And then I realized it's not a baby doll and a real baby! 😊 She is PRECIOUS!! Love this video as well!! 🥰🥰
OH that beautiful baby girl 😍. Thank you for this awesome video! I was completely panicking before watching it. Now, on paper, I realize I have a lot more time to do everything I need to do and it looks much more manageable with small steps!
It took me a LONG time to learn that saying "no" is not letting anybody down, and that others will not stop liking or respecting me for saying "no"! And it took me a, LONG time to realise that I cannot live somebody else's life or expectations. I still try and keep everything under control but am now able to happily admit that I am not Superwoman and it's not the end of the world if I don't get through all the items on my "to do" list!!
Now when I look at your beautiful baby I remember how much strength I was getting from my little angels when they were young and around me.
Oh my goodness. Thank you so much!! Wow!! I could not verbalize or fully understand what was going wrong. This was it! As a single mom of 3 , business owner and elder care taker I truely appreciate this info right here !!
I just have to say, I love how Emma was looking at you and the love displayed between the both of you. It was the cherry on top for this excellent video.
by looking at your adorable baby I feel good already! she must have been fed well before the video..she could hold still for a while and give her mom a gaze from time to time😍
