I am a chronic overwhelmed person and this one video has helped put some of my thoughts into perspective. Thank you!

When I feel overwhelmed I usually step back, look at things closely and start planning - that's my way at least ;-) And then I'm worried that I lose time with planning hehe

Ha! I had nothing to cross of the list. Honestly. Nothing went on the list that wasn't within my control and central to moving forward. But getting all of my high priority stuff out on paper was a great exercise. Time to prioritize, schedule and get things done!

My challenge is that everything on my to-do list is a great and positive thing.. for example i REALLY want to take better care of my body, and start a Reiki practice because it's my passion, and meet and connect with more people, declutter my inbox, get my homework done, create and sell art... I'm just so stressed that i put everything off... um... actually I just realized what I need to do. hahah, thank you so much =D

Thanks Marie. I was basically just worrying about the same thing in many different ways. Now it's time to just knuckle down and take care of it.

i just found your youtube and i frkn love you. i was thinking "wow, she would be an amazing teacher" but then realized that what makes you such a great guru :D thank you so much for making this free and available to everyone!

I did this kind of idea last week so I could get rid of some stress and worry. So I wrote down everything that worried me and finally I was able to sleep more clearer and have a more clear mind because at one point I thought I was going to go crazy! My mind would run a million miles per hour and I'm like "is this normal?" my mind was so loud and chaotic, I couldn't sleep that well. Ever since I wrote down everything...my loud brain became more quieter and now all I have to focus is what I want!

I'm taking a second look at my New Year's goals and thinking, "what on here do I feel meh about?! Goals that I'm not invested in or excited about need to be relocated to a "maybe someday" list (like learning that second language to a country I have no plans to visit any time soon).

Thank you Marie!! You are helping me through such a hard time in my life. Really. I needed that reality check!

Excelentes consejos Marie. En lo personal algo que me ha ayudado mucho a no sentirme tan abrumado es dar un paso a la vez. El querer hacer demasiadas cosas al mismo tiempo es lo que nos tiene abrumados, así es que la mejor opción es elegir una de las cosas que están pendientes por hacer, que esté directamente relacionada con tu objetivos a alcanzar en la construcción de tu red y ¡HACERLA! Deja de pensar en lo demás que también esté pendiente hasta que termines ese punto en específico. Cuando finalmente lo hayas concluido, entonces sí, toma la lista de pendientes y elige uno nuevo y enfócate exclusivamente en ese hasta que lo hayas terminado. De esa forma, de un paso a la vez, te sorprenderás de todo lo que puedes lograr una vez que comienzas a crear un ritmo de trabajo.

Great video Marie! I tell my clients all the time to brain dump when they have too many ideas and don't know where to start because you're right they can not have all that mental clutter in their head -- I also know "outer clutter" creates overwhelm too do it's important to treat your workspace like the prime real estate it is!

I simply ❤️ YOU, Marie Forleo ☺️

Happy dance!!! You're an amazing coach. Thanks for this special episode!

This is awesome, I was left with 3 things on my list (eat healthier, manage my money, and focus on college) all things in MY control

Just what I need to hear. I am going to work on this right away. Thank you Marie!

This is amazing ! You're perfect ! not too boring or too intense , right to the point ; we get what you want to say ! Really motivating !

I pretty much use this exercise every week :) thanks for sharing Marie

Love it !!!!!!!!!!! Thank you !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Did my list. Back to work !

Wow that was great l really did alot of cancelling off from my list l was mostly overwhelmed with stuff that l dont have control over. Now l know the things l can control and change in my life.

This was brilliant Marie. I still have a lot to do, but I can see that the things I do need to get done, CAN be done cause there really is enough time. I just need to go back to your previous video and get procrastination out of the way so I can start getting things done. Thank you for another great video. You are inspiring and honestly, very useful :) Cheers /Martin

I like your sense of style!

Love it! Thanks.

I stumpled upon you one video ago and I'm so so grateful I did, love ur video and the things you pass on to your viewers and how CUTE is your outfit :) defo gonna check out ur website and thanks again for sharing all this!

Good and practical too . Thanks .

Yip. That's me. Thank-you so much for the helpful advice.

wow. 23 down to 7. You are literally life to me right now.

Marie I am new to your videos and instantly love you!! I am so inspired!!

I needed this right now !

I took twice the amount of time. I used a "I'm worried about ... /I fear ..." format in a first time, then a "I'm sick of ..." format, and I finished with some "I deserve ..." affirmations. And I went outside and burned the whole thing with fire.

Thanks marie, That helped a lot - a clear list and agenda, yep!!!

Awesome tips, Marie!!!!

@BreRoz thank you!

amazing Marie! Thank you so much!

Wow. so easy to get rid of overwhelm. This is such a big help Marie. must watch again, thanks for sharing your way to create white space.

That was very helpfu. lYou da bomb Marie!

THANK YOU ❤

This helped me so much!

Thank you

Thankx so much Gr8 tips 👌

Thanks so much Miss Marie! Love your website!! It's 3:45am so watched the video but I'll get back to you on the results, jaja!! Love the idea and if a person tires hard it could ne very helpful!

Dittoooooo. There wasn't a single thing I crossed off my list :( I guess it's more 'prioritization' that I'm in need of. Digging through the rest of the videos!

Excellent exercise! I love it and now I see the stuff that is needed and the things that don't need my energy. I love "meh"! Thank you!!!

@jaafarzasvipkiller thank you! That feedback means a lot. :)

You are beautiful. Thanks for your advice.

LOVE YOUR OUTFIT!!

Marie, Your videos are really awesome.! I'm an avid fan and watch many of them more than just once. Thank you and continue doing what you do best! One thing I noticed, however, is that for step 2 of this exercise, people shouldn't just put a line through what is out of their control but convert them into things they can control....you alluded to this within both of your examples =) Cheers for all the great pieces of advice Keep 'em coming, along with the Biz Nuggets from your kitchen! Lew

@PeaceUdo yep - I can relate. Hope the vid helped.

Awesome!

mmm... it makes me feel clear, n better, but really, i had a big paper full of list, n just 1 that had been strip off ... but u know... it's okay, i have lots of plan, but i love every single one of them

i was just thinking about you yesterday! and your video popped today (algorithms lol )

Love it!! Sharing on Facebook :)

I liked this a lot but I have to say I did NOT have a lot of lines. I think I just lead an overwhelming life right now and hopefully I can just see that it should be temporary, this too shall pass, and try to survive it. Thank u tho, I will be watching more

thanks! that helped. :)

this is relly cool..

Damn, your outfit is on point

I am gonna try this, mainly because I feel so overwhelmed. I am hormonal, end of my pregnancy, lots of stuff to get done prior the baby comes, I am in maternity leave and my job doesn't offer pay maternity leave. My husband is stressed with work and I think he may hate me because I am not working, and I know he doesn't. He gets overwhelmed because he has to turn in work on time. I feel fat. I am so done with everything but there is a lot to get done. :'(

if you could make a video on what to do when your worrying about something that's out of your control? a friend of mine has to be moved to his father's who's... not the best person for him to be with (if you get what I mean) and I can't stop worrying and what's worse is I can't get hold of him. please help, I need to calm down and it's stuck on my mind x

Wrote the list, it was half a page of the same one worry. No lines crossed on the first step, no lines crossed on the second one either. However, good exercise. At least now I know it's just ONE thing I have haunting me, so next it's fix that, outsource and get it off my mind. Also, does Sabine from Amsterdam have a youtube channel? How are people sending in these questions?

@DeliriumReal Excellent Sara! Enjoy the clearing out :)

I think step four should have been to schedule the rest of the stufff. that helps me so much

I think it's too late for part 2 of the exercise, but I can remember what I put down.

None of mine were meh or out of my control. They're all legitimately things that I must do and are due soon. :( #DontDoGradSchoolKids Seriously. No shade though, I legitimately love every single one of your videos. My life just sucks that much right now that not even this could help lol... Whaaaaaaa. I hate grad school! lol ugh... back to the dungeon for me.

My list consists of MANY things on my control, I cannot cross anything off :( I need to breath and get the most important things done. One thing I learned (I am also a student), to sleep, exercise, and eat healthy food. When I don't do those 3 things, I find myself taking longer on tasks, and procrastinating, or just feeling tired.

one thumbs up! Mentally threapeutic!

What if I can't do something but I have to for school and it's due tomorrow

I am really stressed, I tried the excercise-but it didn't work for me. Pretty much everything that I am overwhelmed with I need to get done right away. And there is things that seem to be not working out-but I need to get them done.

This actually made me feel like a bigger loser and way more overwhelmed. I'm literally drowning in a list of things that are all under my control and I just can't do them right. How do you deal with overwhelm with things that you can't 'meh' away?

@princeword NICE! Let us know how it goes ;)

Im with ya here, I think it's a matter of willpower but MEH if that was the answer then I probably wouldn't be here replying to you cause I wouldn't have watched this video to begin with!!!

very entertaining and helpful :D (The stuff I crossed out was in the meh ;))... pretty much on the move of clearing out my life atm... °Sara°

I love your hair here. Watching a bunch of videos... Basically I'm on a MFing binge 😂

Can anyone seriously help me get over the overwhelmness of studying big books like chemistry/biology/physics ? I see myself as incapable of getting the highest grades. Someone who can help please seriously help me. Thanks in advance
