Out of Overwhelm with Norma Strange

What's natural for you? What is it you have in you that could please the world?It's been a difficult "go" at keeping up with this podcast. Being called Out of Overwhelm, I've experienced so much overwhelm myself, I didn't think for a brief moment anyone would want to hear from me. But the inspiration to continue this hit me, and I can't deny the voice. It's natural for me.You need to hear this episode because all the unrest has caused you to feel lack of hope. But we are not hopeless. Let's dive into this, and pay attention to your inner feelings as to what you get to do next that you've been putting off.

In spite of the challenges of our current day and age, we are also on the precipice to some of the most incredible opportunities of our lifetime. Have you looked around to see the void that has been created? Have you considered what oppurtunities are available because of this void?We are all leaders and it's our time to LEAD, CREATE and GROW! This time is NOW!

It's a difficult time to trust your instincts with all the turmoil in the world. Do we trust? If we blindly trust are we gullible?Our internal stories dictate so much of our perception and hence, our reality. So, let's rewrite out stories and get back to trusting the right things; namely ourselves.

If you haven’t taken personality assessments or dug into who you are, who you really are, then you’ll want to start into this conversation here. My assessment of my life opened so many doors and I can spark you to see why you’d want to do the same. You are capable of so much more than you imagine. Join me here to get a glimpse and see my examples as invitation to unlock yourself.

I’ve been talking to a lot of business owners lately. And I’ve discovered there’s a lot of opportunity. You just have to look for it. So many people have a job worker mentality that they wait until they’re told to do something. But entrepreneurs we look for solutions that can be provided to things. As business owners we seek to solve things. And because of that there’s a lot of opportunity everywhere at any time and any economy. Here’s some encouragement for you today!

Let’s talk about what we can do when we feel those stressful feelings. Anxious feelings that come out of nowhere and take us hostage. Things that inside of our body and our chemistry that are designed to help us to run away from threats or to stop and freeze or to reach out and fight. It’s fight flight or freeze these are things that were designed to help us and protect us. But what happens when they run crazy inside of you? That’s what we’re gonna talk about tonight. So are you stressed yet?

You have more control than you realize and we’re going to dive deep into that in this episode. Join me here as we start to turn creativity in your favor and we help you to not react but be proactive. You’ll feel better for doing this. Ready?

Here’s some rainy day thoughts to get you see that we are vulnerable isolated and alone. We are far more powerful as the mighty many as depicted in the Pixar animated film “Bugs’ Life”.

Let’s check in on where you’re at and how you’re feeling now. As we refresh tips from previous episodes, it’s good reminder to be present and honest with yourself. Nothing stops the spin of overwhelm faster than learning and using these tips. Keep this one close to repeat listening and share those who need simple steps to get out of overwhelm now.

This acronym inspired me and became my first book’s title. I first heard it from Roger Anthony. I use this LIFE - Let It Flow Effortlessly acronym along with HOPE - Helping Other People Everyday to guide my daily actions. Today’s episode is about learning what it could mean for you to live LIFE effortlessly. Can you dive deep inside to uncover what you CAN do, right now? Yes we have restrictions and are in an unknown landscape right now, but still there’s ways for you to uncover what doing LIFE effortlessly looks like. Effortlessly is tough to say, it’s difficult to live, and it may be hard to imagine you living your LIFE this way... but that doesn’t mean that it’s impossible. You may be surprised to find out how easy it could be. Let’s chat if you want to put action on this. You matter to me. I’m here. Let’s live LIFE effortlessly together.

We are going to lean in on fear here in this episode. I’ll share how you can direct and navigate through fear as you take inventory of your inner thoughts. Then I hope you see in my worst nightmare lived out that you can create what you put your thoughts and energy on. You are that powerful even now and even if you don’t believe me... yet. Connect over at http://www.facebook.com/groups/outofoverwhelm to discuss fear from this episode and other previous ones. It’s a discussion that will change your life forever if you allow it.

I needed to clarify about the wording I used as I encouraged you in a previous episode. I’ll share here a story of how inspiration shows me that two people, separated and distanced, were both inspired to share the same message at the same time to caution and encourage you. So who is the real author of that inspired message? Does it give you comfort as it confirms to me that we are resilient? Can you feel that we will be okay? I hope you’ll dive into this episode, and even go back and listen to previous episodes to truly get the full message I’m sharing here to help you get Out of Overwhelm.

I did a crazy thing today.I reached out and I asked for help. Do you ever think about that? How hard it is for us to truly be vulnerable and say I need your help and to put it out there in a big bold way? Can you imagine reaching out to people, to ask them to tell you how valuable you are, what you've done for them, asking if they value you to put it to words? Asking how that they see you as a good representation of your profession takes a lot of courage. I'm still probably not even clearly thinking of it because sometimes you just have to do things and not think, don't you agree?

One of the key things that you can do right now that can change and shift your feeling of overwhelm would be to create a not to do list. Have you ever thought about that - a not to do list? What are the things that you're doing that you could not do today or maybe you eliminate them slowly throughout the next week or into the next month? Think about it. There are so many things that are demanding you at any one given day. Is there a way to start writing down everything so you can start to identify something that you could take off that list? How freeing would it be to be able to shorten that list, to know that your focused in on what's most important that's going to create the most impact and most results for you, for your lifestyle and for your family? Think about that for a minute -- creating a not to do list.- - - - - - - Take action and discover FREE resources here: http://www.mentorwithNorma.comBe social and connect on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/mentorwithnormaDecide to live doing what you like and share experiences here:http://www.facebook.com/whatilikedoing

No matter the current situation or economic circumstance, you can be successful if you’re willing to check in with yourself first. As Henry Ford states, “Whether you believe you can or can’t, you are right!” Slow down and let’s really hear that… “Whether you BELIEVE you CAN or CAN’T, you are right!” So what predicts your outcome? Your belief and what you’ve set it at either positive or negative. And here in lies the key to your freedom. You can decide which way to act.Who chooses your success? You do! That is why it is so important to begin the work of examining and strengthening your mindset by identifying and removing your limiting beliefs. If you’re unaware of these limits, you may not realize the sabotage they can create just as you feel you’re gaining successful momentum.- - - - - - - Take action and discover FREE resources here: http://www.mentorwithNorma.comBe social and connect on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/mentorwithnormaDecide to live doing what you like and share experiences here:http://www.facebook.com/whatilikedoing

Today, I wanted to talk about what's distracting you. A lot of times it's just that squeaky wheel thing. For instance, I find it funny when I'm doing things that I know that I'm supposed to be doing when I'm actually focused in using my gifts and my talents and my strengths to go out and connect with the community in a ministry sense to develop relationships and things like that, and I see these distractions or these as I call it, “ankle biting things” that try to get in my way. They're just stumbling blocks. I picture it as whatever negative energy is trying to stop me, an antagonistic energy, or something that's keeping me from feeling at ease and in peace to stay present with everything. It's like somebody throwing gravel out in front of you.I don't know if you guys ever skated when you were kids or not, but we used to have the metal wheeled skates and those skateboards that we had had the smaller wheels. So, if you came across a rock or a pebble in your path, it would not only stop your foot or your skate or your skateboard, it would throw you forward and have you landing with that road rash injury on your arm or leg. You had pain and suffering if you hit one of these little pebbles. So just imagine these things that are being thrown in your way as little ankle biter energy, pieces of gravel that are trying to trip you up. And if we can identify them as that, it's easy to just kind of laugh and call them what they are. They're not powerful enough to stop us. We're still going to move forward in our greatness. We're still going to go connect with our relationships. We're still going to move forward in our success, whether that be personal or business. And when you can put those things back down into their place, laughing them off is a really great way to disempower them.- - - - - - - Take action and discover FREE resources here: http://www.mentorwithNorma.comBe social and connect on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/mentorwithnormaDecide to live doing what you like and share experiences here:http://www.facebook.com/whatilikedoing

If there’s a possibility of one question changing everything in any moment, isn’t that hope? If you’re stuck in overwhelm doesn’t this possibility of one meeting, one call, one connection, one question have you feeling a spark of hope?With our technology devices and our ability to live disconnected and isolated from real human interaction these days, I feel it’s even more important to come together, meet, converse, connect, collaborate and create community. I think this is the most important action we should take to relate more, to spend time and see how we can help each other. I call this collective intelligence, collaboration and community.Everywhere in my life where I’ve created some success, there’s always been others around me helping to steer and cheer me on to reach that goal or success. No one gets anywhere alone. No success is isolated.- - - - - - - Take action and discover FREE resources here: http://www.mentorwithNorma.comBe social and connect on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/mentorwithnormaDecide to live doing what you like and share experiences here:http://www.facebook.com/whatilikedoing

If you are the kind of person who's always knowing the answer, or it feels like you've got life and business all figured out, that can be a great thing and probably gives you a lot of confidence. But, I just want to check in and have you consider, could there be places that you might be missing out because you're already deciding to sort and sift things so quickly?This is a touchy situation here. I’m not trying to take away any of your confidence, expertise or superpowers. There's a great principle that Napoleon Hill revealed as one of his success principles, and it is “being decisive in nature.” And I certainly have that myself. So for those of you that are quick to think, quick to decide, you might find value in this. What is it that you're deciding based on something past that might not be true right now? What is it that you're actually blocking as far as new opportunities that could be even easier to produce better results than you ever imagined because you're already in a decided listening? Have you realized that you're already shutting it down thinking that you know what you already know?Let that sink in. It’s tricky to work on yourself. You’ll get a glimpse of your blindside and then it disappears into the unseen again just before you can grab it and get over how this has been holding you back for so long.Today’s episode will have you run through an exercise that I’ve done many times in my seminars so you can see what you may be missing out on right there in front of you.- - - - - - - Take action and discover FREE resources here: http://www.mentorwithNorma.comBe social and connect on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/mentorwithnormaDecide to live doing what you like and share experiences here:http://www.facebook.com/whatilikedoing

Overwhelm is low vibration. It’s a state of dread or low energy, where we're just exhausted, burnt out. So many of us are running on such a thin edge. Our energy is drained out of us by daily existence and we have no reserves.It’s become crazy. People's jobs are more stressful. They're doing the work of one or two or three people as their companies don't hire extra support when they lay people off or when people quit. There's much more demanded of you. You're expected to work harder and longer for the same pay… or less. You’re expected to maintain a happy or positive attitude. That's not a really good environment to be in, right? It'd be better if you were getting praise and recognition. If you were getting lifted up and you were doing, great jobs and getting paid for performance, but sometimes that's just not the times that we live in.Ah but not to worry. Today’s episode will help you start to look inward at how you can control and change what’s happening on the outside.- - - - - - - Take action and discover FREE resources here: http://www.mentorwithNorma.comBe social and connect on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/mentorwithnormaDecide to live doing what you like and share experiences here:http://www.facebook.com/whatilikedoing

Isn't that what overwhelm really is? It's an irritation! Like getting poked in the eye, or when we have a little piece of sand stuck somewhere. You know how that feels, like a boulder. Isn't it wild how our body will tend to forget about other things that are so important, and it'll focus our attention on that irritation, that agitation, that discomfort? That's what overwhelm feels like. And of course it intensifies the longer we focus on it. But what if inside this overwhelmed state, a temporary season in your life, what if there’s a gift that lies within? That’s what we’ll open your eyes today as we work together to get out of overwhelm.- - - - - - - Take action and discover FREE resources here: http://www.mentorwithNorma.comBe social and connect on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/mentorwithnormaDecide to live doing what you like and share experiences here:http://www.facebook.com/whatilikedoing

Whenever you’re wanting to make any sort of change, one of the first things to do is to take account of things.If you can make some slight adjustments accounting for financial things like we will discuss here, you’ll be on your way to get a little more out of overwhelm.And as you account for things like money, you can use this same practice on other things to get more out of overwhelm. As you pay attention, you'll want to know where your resources come from, and where they go.So many times, we're in overwhelm because we just don't know what is really happening. “Why am I actually feeling this way?” “What's really bothering me?”Today’s episode will help you get honest with yourself and that makes all the difference in starting you to get out of overwhelm as you feel better, get more done and make money.- - - - - - - Take action and discover FREE resources here: http://www.mentorwithNorma.comBe social and connect on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/mentorwithnormaDecide to live doing what you like and share experiences here:http://www.facebook.com/whatilikedoing

Your energy is going to create something. Positive or negative – it’ll create something. Negative energy is going to draw more of the same that is overwhelming you.

It could be a blockbuster of success or an inspiration for others rather than a negative soap opera drama. It’s your life. What do you want to create?Listen here and think about today’s message for a bit to see if this offers possible solutions for your situation.All I want you to inspire you to do today is to put yourself back in the director's seat of your life.

So picture this. Imagine you're creating this cocoon around you, this hard outer shell coating, how in the world are we going to be able to offer you some help? Worse yet, are you really going to accept it? And that's really what stung about this quote I saw. “We all understand the importance of asking for help, but those who achieve big things are the ones who accept it when it's offered.”Let's take a little assessment here for a moment and think about this. If someone was right there offering help to get you out of overwhelm or to lift you to another higher platform, a place where you could expand everything that you do well and let go of those things you're not so good at, to form team around you, to fill in the gaps on the things that aren't your gift… and to take the main things about you, your main strengths, your genius, your gifts, and expand that out to this world, where you could just be you effortlessly in life and in business… Would you take that? Would you take that help? Would you accept it when it's offered?- - - - - - - Take action and discover FREE resources here: http://www.mentorwithNorma.comBe social and connect on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/mentorwithnormaDecide to live doing what you like and share experiences here:http://www.facebook.com/whatilikedoing

For me, H-O-P-E means helping other people every day.I like to even expand it into saying “helping other people every day, everywhere in every way.”When I go out investing in people daily to deliver hope with the attitude of helping other people every day, it opens up so many doors. I see many possibilities. So many of them that I can't act upon all of them.Some people unfortunately are sitting in a stagnated place and they don't see opportunities. I have more than I can actually act upon that are all around me, and new ones opening up all the time in front of me as I have this servant leader attitude of going out and helping other people every day. Can you imagine?What would your life be like if you were there to look at a situation and see what could you do to improve it unselfishly?

Overwhelm can cause you to go down in the rabbit hole, and then we don't even realize how blessed we are. It’s easy to lose track of who we are in this state of overwhelm that we find ourselves in. It's easy to forget who you are. And worse yet, it’s easy to think there’s no hope of ever changing these feelings.It seems there’s so many responsibilities and obligations to other people and all the activities we find necessary. When you do things only because you feel obligated it doesn't lead us on a great path because you don’t feel empowered and can start to feel enslaved and this adds to that hopelessness.When you find yourself in a state of overwhelm, I recommend you just stop for a moment. And it may sound weird but giving yourself permission to stop the madness is perfect to gain new perspective. So give yourself a pat on the back for listening here. This is a good step in the right direction. You see when you show up for you, you can do anything. And when you don’t show up for you, you feel you don’t have any power… well this can lead to deeper stress in your overwhelming decline. So catch that the key here is showing up for you before you give all of your power away to your job and everyone else you care for.- - - - - - - Take action and discover FREE resources here: http://www.mentorwithNorma.comBe social and connect on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/mentorwithnormaDecide to live doing what you like and share experiences here:http://www.facebook.com/whatilikedoing

If I've got a lot of lack of belief or letting my subconscious negatively limit things that I'm thinking all the time, then how can I really be there for you as a friend or colleague? How can I truly listen to you if I've got so much chatter in my mind about all the things I'm not, or all the things that are wrong? I can't really be there for you in this state of mind, can I?If this is something you haven’t mastered, it will master you. We have to be able to quiet those things that are limiting beliefs or negative self-talk or sabotage in order to be able to be fully present and connect with another human being, to give someone the gift of being seen and heard, or validated. To have them feel seen and heard is something that is so priceless to both parties.You'll feel more connected and they'll feel more appreciated and that will become a spark that can open up new business opportunities, new relationships, new introductions, new possibilities, new collaborations, new community outreach, all of that and more!Listen here and let’s unleash this power in your relationships and get your life flowing effortlessly.- - - - - - - Take action and discover FREE resources here: http://www.mentorwithNorma.comBe social and connect on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/mentorwithnormaDecide to live doing what you like and share experiences here:http://www.facebook.com/whatilikedoing

Something that has had me captivated for a while now is how hard everybody works so hard trying to “make a living”… when we’ve been given life!What if we flipped that arounnsted? Instead of working so hard, spending all of our precious time and most of our money working hard, trying, and perhaps barely surviving, working hard to “make a living,” imagine if we just flipped that around and asked ourselves, “I have life, what shall I do with it?” How powerful could this be if we just flipped that for you and your future direction?Plan some extra time to digest this episode as it is a longer recording.

We talked about present in previous episodes. Do you remember my visual of the blank sheet of paper… that clear, clean starting over point that is the gift of this present moment?It's so clear, it's so clean, a fresh starting over point right here in this moment. Nothing exists here, all possibility can happen here. You unlimited. You starting fresh… Unless you bring something from your past to dirty up this blank moment, this blank canvas, your starting point.Maybe an easier approach is to notice our thinking because we tend to know what bothers us. Now think, why does it bother you? Have you ever thought about that? Like why is it that something bothers you?This might offer us a clue to discover what we really care about, or how much we really feel overwhelmed and defeated.- - - - - - - Take action and discover FREE resources here: http://www.mentorwithNorma.comBe social and connect on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/mentorwithnormaDecide to live doing what you like and share experiences here:http://www.facebook.com/whatilikedoing

One thing you can do to get out of overwhelm is to understand it is because you’re not making decisions in certain areas of your life. Not making a decision is a decision itself, and unfortunately, it’s a decision that works against us.If you’re not liking the feeling of being in overwhelm and you want to take more control to better direct your life, one of the things to do is to identify the places in your life that you have probably not decided yet. That’s what I have seen as I’ve been working with many people over the years. There are places where they just didn’t decide yet. Make that decision and you’ll start to eliminate delays and distractions as you follow a better, clearer path that comes from just making a decision.In this episode, we’re going to help you clarify some misunderstandings about beliefs and decisions. You’ll begin to pay attention and see where you can make decisions instead of leaving things undecided to gain your energy back.- - - - - - - Take action and discover FREE resources here: http://www.mentorwithNorma.comBe social and connect on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/mentorwithnormaDecide to live doing what you like and share experiences here:http://www.facebook.com/whatilikedoing

It’s important to look at the seasons. We have growth patterns that give us clues to use this natural sequence to our advantage. There’s time to get the soil ready, to plant, to let things grow, things mature into harvest and then there’s the winter season where things can rest and prepare for the next coming growth cycle. As you notice the cycle you’re in, there’s a powerful way to shift immediately to encourage better results. It’s about being present. Listen as we discuss how to use this to your advantage to create what you want and move away from being in the struggle.- - - - - - - Take action and discover FREE resources here: http://www.mentorwithNorma.comBe social and connect on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/mentorwithnormaDecide to live doing what you like and share experiences here:http://www.facebook.com/whatilikedoing

Serving someone else’s needs teaches us to really listen. So much of our overwhelm is fueled by our inward selfishness and there’s no better way to shift that than serving another’s needs. When you just see and hear people where they are and give them the opportunity to be seen and heard… the connection is powerful. It’s a human need. Everyone wants to be seen and heard. And you’ll feel immediately more energetic attracting new opportunities because your energy, your vibration, is raised. Listen as we discuss how when you contribute to something you believe in, something bigger than you, everything else around you improves because you improve.- - - - - - - Take action and discover FREE resources here: http://www.mentorwithNorma.comBe social and connect on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/mentorwithnormaDecide to live doing what you like and share experiences here:http://www.facebook.com/whatilikedoing
