The Misty Cliffs: Navigating Overwhelm

The Confident Rider Podcast

When I was considering what overwhelm feels like as an experience in the body, the image that came to mind was one of foggy, misty cliffs; a landscape where we are aware of what lies in front of us but where the weather patterns at play are preventing us from getting a clear sense of the path that we should follow and the direction we should head.

In other words, the experience of overwhelm is immobilising and removes us from the ability to act.

In this episode, we discuss the atmospheric experience of overwhelm including:

• The indecisiveness of overwhelm, and how this creates a negative loop that compounds on itself
• Nervous system considerations when navigating overwhelm and how listening to your body is not always the best way forward
• Reclaiming agency and voice, and creating space between you and the experience of overwhelm

I hope you find it useful!
