Overwhelmed

Oftentimes I stare at my computer for what seems like hours when it's time for me to write another blog or send out a newsletter. I struggle with balancing my desire to produce meaningful content with the reality that sometimes I'm just overwhelmed.

When does the need to model "balance" and a stellar example of how to live my life even out with the truth? I fall behind, I don't get everything done, sometimes weeks go by before I even get the grocery shopping done - and let's not talk about the last time I vacuumed the living room. Seriously.

Then I realized - isn't that part of being a life coach? Isn't it healthier to admit that I have alot on my plate right now? Welcome to my world.

It looks like there will be yet another delay on my new condo. I am buying my very first house - it's a condo in the Harbour Place in Davidson, North Carolina click here to see it! This would not be a problem except for the fact that I've given notice at my apartment and will have no place to live if we don't close soon!

In the meantime, I start college on the 25th at Queens University in Charlotte (Queens) and my grant funding hasn't come through yet which is a scary thing as tuition will be close to $17,000 this year.

Let's see...in the midst of all this, I'm teaching two group coaching classes, have my own coaching clients, and am actively looking for more, and have committed to writing a book for women in transition by the end of the year.

I am completely happy right now and overwhelmed at the same time. It's time to focus on things that will keep me as balanced as possible. What do YOU do when you feel overwhelmed to stay in the moment?
