A secret to success is to heal your negative feelings and learn how to manage them so that you are in control of them instead of them controlling you. Feelings of being overwhelmed can control you if you allow them to. Feeling overwhelmed with situations in our life feels like "black cloud" is hanging over our heads and we feel like we are literally sinking in a "black hole". Choosing to hold on to negative—overwhelming feelings—will affect your future financial success, personal success, and business success. 

Everyday we are bombarded with information-information—and more information. Therefore, we must learn how to manage feeling overwhelmed with all this information; simply because when we are overwhelmed we stay in a "state of confusion". When we are in this state of confusion because we’re feeling overwhelmed we feel stuck. It feels like we just can’t move forward because we don’t know what to do or what to do FIRST. 

Would you like to stop feeling overwhelmed? What does feeling overwhelmed feel like? Well, it feels like it's paralyzing you and you can’t seem to get anything done. It takes the enjoyment out of life. The consequences of severe--persistent overwhelm can be serious and can cause depression, job stress, and interpersonal messes with your relationships. We want it to stop, but we don't know how.

You may not even think it's possible.

The biggest temptation when you are exhausted at night is to not do anything because "I deserve it." You've been doing for other people all day long and you’re literally worn out. If you are prone to this habit, plan how you will handle this feeling in advance. Do something nice for yourself and keep working on reducing the ‘overwhelmed’ feeling when you get home at night.

The secret to success, success skills, and the core skill for emerging from this state is to engage in the moment and take one step at a time. This can be the first "secret to success". Take one step forward and just do ONE thing. When you are in overwhelm, you are constantly moving between the past (what you didn't do) and future (what you need to do).   Therefore, you are completely missing the current moment - (what you are doing) which is the only time over which we have any control. If we’ve made the decision that we are going to have financial freedom and personal success, we need to learn to manage this emotion by having a "success strategy".   

Here are four steps to stop feeling so overwhelmed: Step One: This can be the first secret to managing your feelings of feeling overwhelmed. Stop and focus on your breath. This sounds simple, right? You need to bring your focus quickly back to this moment. You may have to do this many times a day and this is a simple time-tested way to do it. If you have trouble with this---actually saying the word "STOP" out load in order to get your own attention can work so you can focus on your breath. 

This advice seems counter-intuitive. You are behind! You need to go faster! Help! But what we really need is to slow down and focus on the present moment.
