02:06 Have you ever found yourself stuck in an overwhelm loop where you're rushing from one thing to the next until your head starts spinning, you can't think straight and worrying about the next thing on your list? And the things that might have forgotten to do. The things that should have been done by now but forget to breathe or are out of milk without even thinking about what's for dinner! That used to be me too and it is really easy pattern to fall into particularly when you are on a mission and care deeply about what you do And no matter where we're at in our business journey, most of us want to be further along than we are. Don't get me wrong that ambition is fabulous but sometimes the drive to succeed and make a bigger impact can get tangled up in relentless pushing and striving which if we're not careful

02:49 So, in my experience the only way out of an overwhelmed loop is to disrupt it in some way. So might I suggest a timeout? Or at the very least, a few deep belly breaths to calm your frazzled nervous system. I know it can be hard to take a break when there's so much more you feel you need to do and i've recorded a few episodes of Unfrazzle about exactly that lately So go back and listen to those if you need a little bit more but I just want you to consider this your personal invitation And a permission slip if you need one to take a pause from all of the doing. And, if you're free I would love to invite you to join me for a gentle grounded calming workshop in doing things differently so I know that you're busy but if you feel like you're stuck in an overwhelm loop that's preventing you from moving forward with a sense of purpose clarity and focus
