Feeling overwhelmed by everything on your plate?
In this episode, we’re talking about the Navy SEAL “3-foot rule”—a simple mindset shift that helps you stop focusing on the entire mountain and focus only on what’s directly in front of you.
You’ll learn:
Why overwhelm makes your brain shut down
How narrowing your focus helps calm stress and anxiety
A practical way to keep moving forward when life feels too heavy
If your mind constantly jumps to everything that could go wrong or everything you still have to do, this episode will help you slow down, refocus, and take the next step with more peace and clarity.
