Talk to me about "overwhelm", wise ones. I lost a key employee. My plate was already full. And now I have to manage his responsabilities. It's end of the school year and it seems like every other day there are projects due. presentations, performances, etc. I enjoy being there for my kids. My wife is still only at about 60-80% capacity physically since last year's cancer treatments. I know I feel overwhelmed. When I get overwhelmed I get more irritable. I lose creativity and just put my head down and work. Sometimes I create more movement than momentum. My wife had a 60% day yesterday and when she gets overwhelmed she shuts down. She gets frustrated that she can't accomplish as much as she used to and that frustration compounds her overwhelm. Then last night my daughter laid down next to me crying because she feels overwhelmed: boy trouble, school pressure... Why? What causes us to stack up so much stuff that we are operating on a near-collapse state every day? What happened to the days where you could sit on the porch and just enjoy the view. Would love the Strategies you guys use to deal with these moments (not really a 'moment' for me because it's been going on for weeks). It's almost as if we've conditioned ourselves that safety is in the chaos. That to have a moment where there is no pressure must mean that things are not right, because pressure has been a constant.

It’s a new week. Drop your intentions in the comments. And if you commented on last weeks post with your intentions feel free to offer an account of how it turned out. ManOS call tomorrow night @ 7pm cst. For new members this is the bi-weekly call for premium tier members to connect over the operating system, what’s going on in their lives, requests for support, celebrations and everything in-between. I’d love to acknowledge and celebrate @Rhys Hall and @Jared Fenn for showing up and posting and commenting and asking question and engaging! It’s awesome to see and hopefully y'all are finding value in it. To everyone else thanks for being here. I hope you’re reading this in safety and ease and that you know your own greatness.

Hey Fellas, I've been in a rut for a week or so now and wanted to come on and post about it. I can tell that just by typing this there is value to be able to show up and say that I'm struggling. It would be much easier for me to just try and figure it out and act like I never lost a step, but the truth is I have and I don't want to hide from it. This past week I had the good fortune of staying in a friend's cabin in the hills of Texas, a beautiful dream space. I wasn't able to enjoy it even a fraction because my body, mind, and emotions had become overwhelmed with stress and fear and my body backlogged with unprocessed emotions. While I was getting the bare minimum done, I found myself largely ineffective and frozen in avoidance. I would try and break away to meditate or go for a walk or enjoy the weather, but I've never felt more ineffective in my life in terms of having authority over myself and my actions. I suppose it could be considered a form of dissociation. I have no requests of support from anyone. More than anything, this post is an opportunity to allow myself to be seen in this point or place of weakness and cowardice. P.S. I have run my situation through ManOS and I'm currently developing a strategy and taking action on it.

Alright I pulled over where I have service so let’s give it a go! Going Live now.
