Have you ever been working on something and just feel mentally exhausted? Becoming frustrated because you just cannot think properly is commonplace. Few people realize though that it’s just like going for a run. When you reach the point of exhaustion, pushing yourself a little bit further allows you to build your muscles and increase stamina. Well your brain is exactly the same. Next time you reach that exhaustion point when thinking just push yourself a little further. Do a couple more math problems, read a couple more pages, or work for a couple more minutes. Pushing yourself beyond your capacity will only benefit your brain.

When you experience an emotion, you don’t always acknowledge it. You “stuff it” so to speak. And the emotion gets tucked away. It has to go somewhere so you store the emotion in your body’s attic or closet until such time when it becomes overfilled. Eventually, the emotional energy needs to be released.

Overwhelm is not a productive place to be. In fact, is it very unproductive because it blocks the necessary actions we need to take to do the things we need to do. Yet, many of us fall into overwhelm very easily. To feel overwhelmed is to feel unable to do. The root of overwhelm is an acute sense of loss of control. Often, the difference between being productively busy and being overwhelmed is simply a feeling of control.

The other day I was discussing marketing options with a client and she said something which took me completely by surprise. "Well, I guess I could be shameless and promote myself more when I'm doing a presentation but it's not like I have anything special or interesting to say." I was surprised because this woman has single-handedly built a very successful consulting practice and works with an impressive roster of Fortune 100 companies. She also has two large binders stuffed with classes, workshops, and other intellectual property she's developed over the years. Yet, she's asking me "what's the big deal?"
