In this day of instant media, constant information, increased speed of life’s expectations, it is easy to see how one can experience a feeling of being overwhelmed. The feeling of having too much to do, and no time to do it in. The feeling that no matter what I do, it isn’t enough. Many women have so many responsibilities, it is a wonder they can relax at all. Yet relaxation is essential to renewing our minds, and our bodies. Not to mention our spirit which is where our energy resides. Your intuition or inner knowing needs to have quiet or calm so you can hear it. Today, let’s look at some ways that we can “Be Still…” and connect to our heart, so our minds and bodies can function better.
What are the symptoms/effects of over-thinking?
Have you ever felt like your thoughts are running in circles, but you’re too drained to take a single step forward? One thought leads to the next To Do on the list, and at the same time you may feel guilt or irritation that you are not further towards your goal. Let’s not make our goal our gaol. Let’s just pause, breathe for a minute.
Overwhelm and overthinking often creep in quietly, but their symptoms are unmistakable. For women healing from emotional trauma, it can feel like your inner world is on high alert—even when everything on the outside seems quiet.
You might notice it in these subtle but powerful ways:
Common Symptoms of Overwhelm & Overthinking
- Procrastination: Not because you’re lazy, but because your mind is overloaded, and you don’t know where to begin. Procrastination is a double-edged sword. We know we need to do something, we think about it a lot. The thinking about it, creates an upset or irritation yet it doesn’t move us close to task. The deadline may be looming and our avoidance is in full bloom. Being told “just get’er done” isn’t helpful. Be kind. If you are feeling this don’t criticize yourself. Acknowledge it.
- Irritation & Mood Swings: Your patience wears thin, and small things feel massive. Some days I ask myself, Dang, Why do I feel so bitchy?
- Worry & Racing Thoughts: Your mind constantly replays scenarios or “what ifs”, even when you’re trying to rest.
- Insomnia or Restless Sleep: You lie in bed tired but wired, unable to shut off the mental noise. Our friendly hormones can keep our mind caught in a loop. Less sleep equals more irritability.
- Apathy or Numbness: You feel stuck, unmotivated, or emotionally disconnected from your goals and dreams. Just feel like “MEH”.
These aren’t just inconveniences. They’re signals from your body and nervous system asking for attention, care, and recalibration.
So What Can You Do When You Feel Overwhelmed?
The healing journey doesn’t require perfection or doing everything at once. It simply begins with one small, grounded step.
Here are gentle but powerful remedies to help move you from frozen to focused:
1. Just Do One Thing
Start with one simple task. Make your bed. Send that email. Drink a glass of water. When your brain feels scattered, completing just one thing helps shift you from chaos to clarity. It reminds your nervous system: You’re capable. You’re moving forward. Make “Just One Thing” your mantra.
2. Make a ‘Need-to-Do’ List
Write it out. Not just in your head. Getting your thoughts on paper stops the mental loop. You release the pressure to remember everything and can begin to prioritize what truly matters.
Writing it out also let’s us figure out what is in our control. Often we worry about other people’s reactions to us, spiking our stress levels when we let other’s expectations live in our minds. Worry takes away our peace. Choose to protect your peace.
3. Analyze & Delegate
Look at your list and ask:
- What must I do because it aligns with my values or goals?
- What can I delegate, delay, or even delete?
This isn’t about doing more, it’s about doing what’s meaningful and letting go of the rest.
4. Use Your Strengths to Build Confidence
What comes naturally to you? Organization, creativity, empathy, listening? Tap into your strengths first, they’ll energize you. Every time you act from your strengths, you build momentum, clarity, and self-trust. We all have been given gifts. When we use our gifts, we feel good, confident and happy. Remember when you delegate something to someone, you let them use their gifts too. You are doing a service to another person. That action brings you a boost of “feel good” dopamine. Do good because it’s good for you.
5. Act: Do the Thing. The congratulate yourself for Doing the Thing! When you complete a task, especially one you’ve been avoiding, your brain releases dopamine, often called the “feel-good” or “motivation” hormone. It’s a chemical reward that makes you feel a sense of pleasure, accomplishment, and momentum.
Even small actions, like crossing something off your to-do list or cleaning a drawer, give your brain a dopamine hit. This is why the “Just Do One Thing” strategy works so well, it kickstarts the reward system in your brain and shifts you out of freeze mode.
Why Dopamine Matters:
Dopamine isn’t just about pleasure. It’s part of your brain’s reward system, a system designed to reinforce positive behavior. When you take action and feel good afterward, your brain learns something very important:
“Taking action helps me feel better.”
Each time this happens, your brain builds a new neural pathway, what we call a positive feedback loop or even “success circuitry.”
It Looks Like This:
- Cue: You feel overwhelmed
- Action: You do one small thing
- Reward: Dopamine makes you feel good
- Reinforcement: Your brain says, “Let’s do that again.”
Over time, this rewires the default pattern of procrastination and freeze into a new one of confidence, momentum, and inner trust.
