7 ways to stop overwhelm

[@ashleyzielke3072]

Loving the dreds! They give you such a youthful, fun look

[@paulat5921]

The dread locks were a little shocking at first but they are really growing on me. I like them the more I watch and they make you look younger too.

[@ticamonica]

I LOVE you kitchen, so minimal and clean and peaceful but homey 🏡

[@jilloverlock8238]

Lovely video. Even if weve heard it before, we humans tend to need lots if reminders!

[@fancynancy2870]

Your flower gardens are amazing! 😍

[@Nourishingminimalism]

Thank you Nancy! I'm so happy with them, my grandma had beautiful flower gardens and it makes me so happy to sit on the porch and look at the flowers. 🥰 (The veggie garden is not so beautiful... I should video that so people see that I let some things slide. 😂)

[@ImLunaShesZeta]

I loved the sound of the bugs when you were outside.☺️

[@Nourishingminimalism]

Yes! The cicadas - they seem to be so much louder this year! I was glad they didn't overpower the mic. 😂

[@lauramac2271]

You are like the Mr. Rogers of decluttering. Thank you for bringing the calm to the chaos.

[@Nourishingminimalism]

Oh thank you Laura! What a complement! 🥰 🥰

[@deannaw9657]

I just LOVE... no, i NEED these videos from you. You always discuss the types of things i am dealing with and your suggestions are reasonable and help get me moving, and remind me to give myself grace. You're also the only other person i know who hates making appointments over the phone as much as i do. Please dont ever stop reminding me. What a blessing you are to me! ❤

So if my husband does the dishes and there's giant puddles of water everywhere, done is better than perfect. You are absolutely right. I need to work on that one. The brain dump thing I've been doing for years, and it really does help me to make lists...and crossing things off the list feels great! Love your videos. It's like having a calm, down-to-earth friend full of positivity and good advice.

[@Nourishingminimalism]

❤️ Thanks Jamie!

[@christynr1388]

Still loving the hair!!🌸

[@denisem1961]

I like your hair. It really suits you 😊

[@Nourishingminimalism]

Thank you so much! 😊

[@AM-bm2xw]

Rachel, the dreads really suit you :) I am in a season right now where I am really trying to accept my limitations and lower my standards for myself. My own expectations for myself are unrealistic and crippling.

[@Nourishingminimalism]

Thank you! I was talking with my mom about this yesterday, she figured out she needs a schedule for herself, like setting a timer to work and then setting a timer to sit and have a cup of tea. She has so many projects that she wants done, but it's taken a toll on her to be constantly going. ❤️

[@juliemix3373]

Rachel, I make myself get out the address book, stamps, envelope and pen. Then I get the envelope addressed and stamped. That feels like the "thank note" is at least started. Psych myself into the task. This was a lovely calm talk. I enjoyed it very much. Cheers

[@Nourishingminimalism]

Great idea Julie - thanks for sharing! ❤️

[@lindabourketempleton4040]

Thank you I needed that Ive changed my hours of work and today I needed to get up early , I’ve woken three times during the night and now I need to get up and get out the door

[@Three721]

I’m loving the hair ❤

[@tanyajohnston8262]

Yes I do that, I will write the extras on my list so I can check off even after already doing the task 😊. Feels that I accomplished more

[@onedogfarm6731]

I just love your channel. Thanks so much for your wisdom. Your hair is so cute too!

[@lisakrushinski9436]

Rachel, your video is so calming in and of itself! Thank you for sharing your life and tips with us! 😊💜🙏✝️

[@mariamurphy1065]

I love listening to you . Your voice is very calming to me 👍

[@Nourishingminimalism]

🥰 🥰 Thank you!

[@RhondaTowanda]

Excellent video! The bouquet of flowers, so pretty! 💜🌻💜🌻💜🌻

[@margaret1336]

Thanks for the encouragement! The dreads are growing on me! ❤🦘

[@curlyb4c95]

They are not “dreads”, they are called “Locs”. Your’re welcome. 😌

[@Nourishingminimalism]

Thank you Margaret! 😊

[@bigkittylittlekitty1740]

I needed this- I started a new teaching job and feel very overwhelmed. I esp like the message to allow myself be less perfect and allow myself to have lower standards. Thank you!

[@sabihakhan2463]

Rachel the mantra I learned from you is done is better than perfect! Also I love the tips of how to deal being overwhelmed. Happy your back

[@Nourishingminimalism]

Yes! Thank you! ❤️

[@amandasymon4363]

So needed help with over whelm today 🙏 Just moved into a new home and I have boxes every where! As we have moved into a smaller home I have needed all the help I could get with being strong about letting things go. You have helped so much. Love love love your hair 👊 Thank you ❤

[@maggiesmith979]

Good for you. Being an example for setting limits and responding to overwhelm in a healthy way is more valuable to your children than going to all the events.

[@brightpurpleviking]

I absolutely love your hair! ❤

[@Nourishingminimalism]

🥰

[@thelmakatherine5396]

Your dreadlocks ended up looking so cute! Just this morning, I completed a few tasks I had been putting off and did a little happy dance. 😊Your videos seem to always come at the right moment for me. Thank you for your encouragement. ❤

[@Nourishingminimalism]

Good job! Yay for happy dances! 😁 And thank you! 🥰

[@nancycerreta5629]

So nice to see you again. This video is exactly 💯 for me right now. Thanks.

[@sandraann4868]

Really great and achievable suggestions! You look really lovely with your new hair do and that top is so pretty xx

[@Nourishingminimalism]

Oh thank you San! 😘

[@sandraann4868]

Just to add I’ve always thought you looked lovely but I can see how you feel comfortable in your ‘skin’ right now and I guess that is one of the big positives from a minimalist mindset xx

[@Nourishingminimalism]

🥰

[@Deb_Creamer]

Overwhelm creeps in when i forget to put first things first. For me thats Gods word, hard workout (crossfit), super clean eating (carnivore) and good sleep. Ive added in coloring and word searches lately for some mind calming work as well. ❤this!!

[@Nourishingminimalism]

That's an excellent point - thank you! ❤️

[@Gabrielle499]

Yes!! I love these kinds of videos that you make. I’ll watch this one every day, because again, I cannot see the bottom of my sink or my kitchen counters. 🤦🏻‍♀️

[@Nourishingminimalism]

You'll get there Gabrielle! ❤️

[@lisaann6267]

mine was health insurance. got it done yesterday. 1 hour long phone call. but its done! and with and insurance thats better than previous one. and they were super nice. :)

[@Nourishingminimalism]

What a relief to have it done! And better insurance/nice people, total bonus. ❤️

[@lennyburdick3192]

I think your dreads look awesome!

[@Nourishingminimalism]

Thank you! 🥰

[@WifetoJohn]

Great tips, thank you so much!! 🧡

[@TheAAnne123]

Omg! Phone call avoidance ! I HATE making phone calls - I would rather drive to the place and ask in person. I can’t read someone’s intention/reaction/etc over the phone.

[@amberklein1560]

Love your hair. Daring.

[@shellyjay8954]

I miss your adorable short hair, but I do like the beads. ❤

[@Elizabeth-490]

I procrastinate on making phone calls too- and filing paperwork

[@corbyelford5754]

🙏🏻❤Thanks for this Rachel. Just what I need right now is a way to cope with my current overwhelm. It's amazing how prayers are answered. 5 second countdown here I come... (Love your locks😃)

[@Nourishingminimalism]

Thank you Corby! ❤️ ❤️

[@diannabaggett1372]

Dreads look good!

Curate Incremental Improvement :)

[@sarahdelozier4054]

Rachel, what a perfect video!!! 🥰 I always get overwhelmed this time of year and these are definitely things to live by. I love the beautiful arrangement of flowers 💐 I didn't know mint and oregano can go in there. Just beautiful 😍

[@Nourishingminimalism]

Thank you Sarah! Isn't it funny how we know what to do, but forget when life feels even a little chaotic?? ❤️

[@linth1717]

[@fawnpender3907]

I share your "ew" reactions to earwigs!

[@catrionagarde4410]

They don't do no no harm. I would have put it back outside.

[@quuqeemonster]

Hair? What's happening?! What has been done?

[@Nourishingminimalism]

Yes - they're fake, I decided to test them out and make sure I want to commit to dreadlocks. 😊 kzbin.info/www/bejne/aYi1lmOVe7-sd7M

[@lisaann6267]

she did a video a week ago.

[@nancy446]

Nice arrangement. Calming video. Thank you for the tips.

[@quuqeemonster]

I like the long hair look but not the dreadlocks. And they don't seem "minimal."@@Nourishingminimalism

[@ruthtorphy2204]

Not a fan .Hair looks a bit messy. But hey , you do you if it makes you feel good.

[@momof2momof2]

LOL funny you should be speaking about this topic, I do have something I have been putting off. And, once it's done it will be done. I just have to do it. 🥰🪷🌺🌸🌼💗✝💖🇺🇲
