10 Tips for Reducing Overwhelm for Women Solopreneurs

We live in a time of an unbelievable and increasing amount of information, options, stimuli, and demands on our time.  This influx comes from email, commercials in at least 4 or 5 types of media, from our families, businesses, and communities. Who wouldn't like an extra 8 hours added to their day? Sign me up, too.

Until we figure out how to add time to the clock, here are 10 tips for reducing the feeling of overwhelm so you can enjoy your life more, reduce stress, and actually make space for your desires to come to you.  If your life is packed to overflowing, there isn't room for spontaneity and surprises. 

As women, I believe we are taught and socialized to nurture others.  We tend to be the leaders in our families, change agents in our communities, and volunteer everywhere.  This is about making choices that also serve YOU!

Cool tool and website called "My Lifebook"

I just heard about this website and program, called My Lifebook.  It's got an amazing website and testimonials that are powerful.  I have no personal experience with this program and so I offer it for your exploration.

I do love the idea of, as they say, creating a blueprint for how you want your life to be in 12 areas of your life.  This is an in person program held in Chicago and San Diego.  See what you think!  http://www.mylifebook.com/
