Think about the last time you were overwhelmed: if you could share the experience with someone else, how would you describe it? 

What were the sensations in your body? 

What were the thoughts in your mind? 

How did you feel mentally and physically? 

Did you feel physically ill and did not know why?

Did you withdraw from friends and family?

Or, maybe you had trouble focusing?

It's essential to develop an awareness of your emotions because

if we can't feel the warning signs, overwhelm becomes debilitating. 

In this special episode, learn to overcome overwhelm and annihilate your cognitive load as Jade Green covers what you need to know from looking at your natural rhythm, figuring out your blocks, setting boundaries, and designing your flow box. 

Tune in to this episode of the Team Engineered show — Unpacking Stress, Overwhelm and Taking Control Of It with Jade Green.

Computer scientist Edward Tufte says, "There are only two industries that call their customers' users': illegal drugs and software." Many of us came to know him in the film The Social Dilemma, which tackles the dark side of our addiction to social media.

A really interesting concept we've come to understand is how these free platforms use us as the “product”. We've known this for a fact, but given how they've become necessary in our lives, we acknowledge the need to stay on these platforms. The challenge, therefore, is establishing the discipline of when to let our devices rule our time. We can break the cycle of addiction and get away from it.

The brain can quickly lose focus with many things fighting for your attention, especially social media. You can take ownership of your day rather than it owning you by tweaking how you think when trying to implement new habits to upgrade self-discipline. 

The person most dangerous to you is YOU. The person that's the best coach for you is also YOU. I am here to remind you that whatever thoughts or feelings come to you at any given moment do not define or control you. Remember, you can choose whether to participate or not in your thoughts. You hold power to become the most dangerous person to you or be your own best coach.

Resisting daily temptations can be tough on the path of self-improvement, especially when you are doing them alone. We help individuals inside our container become better people and bigger leaders in their organizations. It's been awesome to see everyone sharing their ideas and motivating each other in the group.

As humans, we are programmed to always look for the negative and have the tendency to focus on unpleasant events and dwell on them. We can see how we get so fixated on bad days that didn't go our way in our homes and workplaces. 

In this episode, Kyle and I talk about the benefit of doing things differently and learning to look at the bright side of things despite our negative biases. 

Many business and family cultures don't have gratitude as part of their repertoire. If we want to develop a more positive view inside our homes and workplaces, we need to learn to appreciate seeing the bright side of things. We can overcome our tendency toward negativity by becoming more conscious of flexing our gratitude attitude muscles daily.

A fun culture can be acceptable in the workplace to build that connection. However, we must be serious too in saying the good things, appreciating our people, and giving credit where credit is due. 

Often within a team of tradies, there's quite an interesting dynamic of the typical team giving each other a hard time about absolutely everything. Although there's a bit of a fun culture, it can be more of jokes than exchanging encouraging or appreciative words. 

Remember, necessary words must be said and heard. As a leader, it is not a weakness to validate your people, especially those whose primary love language is words of affirmation – they will feel the words deeper.
