An overwhelm is something one does. It is not that hard to do. All one has to do is first, focus temporally, and secondly, look at all the things that have to be done for the day.
King Benjamin recommends the following:
"And see that all these things are done in wisdom and order; for it is not requisite that a man should run faster than he has strength." (Mosiah 4:27) (D & C 10:4)
Nephi says,
"...for behold, the words of Christ will tell you all things what ye should do."
(2 Nephi 32:3)
-Read the scriptures and list all the things you should do to reach exaltation. Focus on this list and you will be able to do an overwhelm.
Then Nephi give us the solution:
"For behold, again I say unto you that if ye will enter in by the way, and receive the Holy Ghost, it will show unto you all things what ye should do." (2 Nephi 32:5)
The only way to enjoy the day and make it worthwhile is to select what you will do during the day by the Spirit. And then do each activity out of the love you have for Heavenly Father & the Savior.
Therefore, review the following principles from the first 6 thought patterns of Christ:
1. The three worlds (temporal, spiritual and inner-world)
2. How to change and improve thought patterns (See, think, feel & do)
3. The Six thought patterns of Christ
a. Self worth and high feelings of worth the Saviors way
b. Performance used for spiritual growth
c. Seeing all things spiritually
d. Using enticements to focus spiritually
e. Learning how to rejoice in your adversities
Seek Heavenly Father's help in selecting what would be the best for your spiritual growth today. For example, you may feel impressed to separate your worth from your performance. You may feel impressed to work on that for the next three months. The other thought patterns can wait until another day. This way, one will enjoy the journey and not do an overwhelm. For one is now focusing on their spiritual progression and not on the temporal "to do" list.
