Affirmations - A Strategic Tool for Managing Overwhelm

In the world of business, feeling overwhelmed is more common than we’d like to admit. With endless to-do lists, mounting responsibilities, and the pressure to perform, it’s easy to find ourselves spread too thin. Clive Enever, a seasoned business strategist, offers a powerful and simple strategy to tackle this: the use of focused affirmations. In this episode, Clive discusses how affirmations—used correctly—can quiet the mind, realign our focus, and help us take back control from the chaos. Instead of succumbing to overwhelm, Clive encourages us to approach our days with intention, clarity, and gratitude. In this episode, he covers: - Overwhelm often stems from doing too much in too little time, which calls for re-evaluating what’s truly essential in your business and letting go of the rest. - Affirmations are most powerful when they focus on a valued, long-term outcome that is phrased as if it’s already been achieved. - Avoid using too many affirmations for random daily desires; this can add to the mental clutter rather than relieve it. - Carry your chosen affirmation with you—in your wallet, pocket, or purse—and read it aloud anytime you feel stressed or anxious. - Even when you're not overwhelmed, continue using your affirmation to reinforce positive habits and keep your goals in sharp focus. Finding Clarity and Making Strategic Moves During Challenging Times Affirmations are more than just positive words. They’re a grounding practice that helps business owners stay focused and emotionally balanced. As Clive points out, the right affirmation, coupled with gratitude, has the power to transform not just your mindset, but your outcomes. The key lies in consistent, mindful use, especially during moments of doubt or discomfort. Embrace the calm, visualise your success, and watch your overwhelm dissolve.
