026 How To Shift Your Mindset And Break Free from Overwhelm

Beyond The Clinic

Hello and welcome to episode 26 of Beyond the Clinic! I’m Sarah Almond Bushell, and today we’re tackling something many of you have shared, feeling overwhelmed by everything you juggle in business and life. Back in September, I hosted a three-day event in the Beyond the Clinic Business Facebook group about working smarter, not harder. Today, we’re diving deeper into why overwhelm happens and how to shift your mindset to break free from it for good.

Episode Summary:
In this episode, Sarah discusses the common issue of overwhelm for business owners. While strategies like time tracking and delegation help, many are still stuck in a cycle of busyness. Sarah shares her personal experience of balancing work and family life and how the pressure to do it all can lead to burnout. She provides actionable steps to regain control, prioritise tasks, and protect your well-being.

Key Takeaways:

• Prioritise tasks that move your business forward, like client acquisition or revenue generation.
• Schedule breaks and practice self-discipline to avoid burnout and improve productivity.
• Let go of guilt. You don’t have to do it all, and balance is key.
• Acknowledge your wins to stay motivated.
• Set boundaries and learn to say "no" to tasks that don’t align with your goals.
