Ditch the Overwhelm : a 5 minute brain dump journal

*** IT’S HERE!!!!!!!***

Have you ever looked around at all the stuff you have to do and got so overwhelmed you decided not to do anything instead ?

Are you struggling with feeling like you’re everywhere and nowhere all at the same time?

Hi! I’m Lindsay and I will be your guide for ditching the overwhelm in your day so that you can live the life you know you want to be living, in spite of the chaos that’s going on around you!

Today I’m a top mindset + wellness coach, self taught CEO, former realtor, mom of two boys and wife. I’m here to help the women who are much like I was a few years ago: overwhelmed, tired, exhausted high achievers with busy minds, trying to do and be it all, feeling like they are everywhere and nowhere at the same time.

This ditch the overwhelm journal was born out of what I learned through my own journey and has been the biggest key to changing my focus, helping me manage my high functioning anxiety and live a more calm, happy and impactful day to day life.

I’ve taught this system to the women I work with for years as I’ve heard again and again how overwhelm can shut us down from living the lives we want to live.

I started to ‘brain dump’ almost daily when I began my second business while still working full time as a realtor with a chronically sick child at home, a husband who works shift work and a toddler. I am an anxiety warrior, there is no doubt about it, but this activity allowed me to give my busy mind a break, and a clear path on what next small step to take to keep moving forward.

Even though this was my ‘system’ for years, I didn’t have the best layout for it. I would be doing ‘brain dumps’ on scrap pieces of paper, they would be scattered around and then I would waste time looking for them. This was annoying because I often look at the day before’s brain dump to see what needs to be carried forward etc. Did I mention I love to do lists? lol

When I looked for a type of journal I could use for this activity (I’m a journal addict- no shame saying that lol), nothing came back in my searches. Blank page journals were fine but I thought “geez, I wish I had one that was set up already the way I like to map it out.” And thus, the idea for the journal was born.

The activity and strategy I’m going to teach you in this journal are going to be your overwhelm BFFs. Applying this type of strategy to all parts of your life can be a GAME CHANGER for the RESULTS you achieve and BEST OF ALL, the ability you have to enjoy your days knowing that you have a handle on your time!

I like to use this system at the start of the day to set myself up for success (otherwise I go into the day unprepared and almost guaranteed to trip up on moving forward towards my goals!)

It doesn’t have to take much time, but taking 5-10 minutes each morning will save you sooooo much time and frustration later- PROMISE! This is a high achiever’s must have journal!

Welcome to being back in the driver’s seat with your goals, your day and the type of life you want to live!

In Ditch the Overwhelm, you will learn how to:

  • give your busy a mind a break with daily brain dumps
  • get crystal clear on the tasks you need to do daily to achieve your goals
  • figure out what is truly urgent in your day vs what can be delegated vs what can be ‘deleted’
  • create a 5-10 minute morning routine that will set you up for a calmer, more joyful + productive day

Hi and thanks for stopping by!! I'm Lindsay ... boy mom of 2 💙💙, wife for 12 years, lover of animals, sports and a hot mess girl boss just trying to enjoy life one day at a time 💜🇨🇦 I aspire to be organized -- I have grand plans on this that are mainly stuck on my Pinterest boards😂 I'm a retired realtor, certified fitness and nutrition expert and on my own journey to a happier, healthier, simplified life 💕 A couple of years ago I was 5 years into the hustle and bustle of a demanding real estate career. I was tired, carrying around an extra 50lbs (mostly in my midsection) and didn't even have the energy to play with my little boys -- when I started cropping myself out of vacation photos I knew enough was enough 🚫 Bad food choices were my thing : I celebrated with it. I comforted myself with it. I was in and out of drive thrus and missing dinners with my family because I was on the road and suddenly each season I was going up a clothing size 😔 Enter home fitness ✅ My husband works shift, I worked crazy hours and had small kids and I couldn't (and didn't want to) go to a gym or group classes -- home workouts gave me the exercise I needed without sacrificing extra time away from my husband and boys. I learned to eat real foods in proper portions 💚 I started to see what my body and my energy levels were SUPPOSED to feel like !! A journey to changing my body completely had begun. Inches lost, dress sizes down, clearer skin, control over my cravings ... food has become fuel, exercise has become something my body now craves. My anxiety levels dropped massively. My moods levelled out. My patience and energy levels with my family picked up! I've been blessed to help SO MANY women in the past 3.5 years achieve this for themselves as well - confidence, empowerment, a fire inside them is reignited as I've helped them take back the power of their own health 🙌🏻💖 Thank you for reading this far -- sharing this journey, this new found passion... it makes my eyes light up when I talk about it (and sometimes I can't stop 😂) My time, my accountability groups, and guidance are always 100% free -- so reach out and let's get you back on a path to self confidence, positivity, passion and energy-- you deserve to feel like the best version of YOU
