This document discusses strategies for eliminating overwhelm presented by motivational speaker Fay Chapple. It identifies 10 common causes of overwhelm such as having too many commitments or ideas. Chapple recommends 3 core strategies - be aware and present, prioritize, and be yourself. Specific exercises are provided for each strategy over 7 days, such as writing down overwhelm daily, focusing on the top 3 priorities, and devoting time solely to oneself. The overall message is that overwhelm is common but can be reduced by gaining clarity, making better choices, and breathing room through applying Chapple's motivational techniques.
