There’s a wave of frustration you might feel when running an errand or grabbing groceries. These tasks sometimes seem impossible to do, no matter how easy they should theoretically be. But dismissing how stuck you feel when it comes to the simple things doesn’t make the frustrating feelings go away. And it certainly doesn’t lighten the load you carry. In this episode, you’ll learn how to take the pressure out of doing everyday tasks when life feels chaotic and unmanageable. Show highlights include: Why feeling like you “just can’t handle anything” is similar to your gym workout (and how to build the muscle mass for doing more) (0:47) What to do when the ‘element of surprise’ ruins your day plans - and the two tools you need to readjust accordingly and rationally (2:38) How to stop feeling an unbearable amount of weight in your everyday tasks and start feeling more joy and relaxation in the moment (6:31) What to do when you’ve taken on too many responsibilities (and why trying to be the hero 24/7 only gets in your way) (10:46) ***FREE RESOURCES & SOCIAL LINKS*** Need a few mini moments of peace?
