How to Find Calm When Life Feels Overwhelming

In this episode of Action Ignited, Jason and Issam explore how to stay grounded when everything feels like too much. From work stress to mental burnout, it’s easy to fall into escape-mode but there’s a better way.

Instead of checking out, what if you leaned into something small that brings you focus, joy, and calm?

Jason shares how building LEGO sets like the iconic 2 Fast 2 Furious Nissan Skyline GTR has become a simple, hands-on activity that helps him feel relaxed. They also talk about shifting away from late-night habits that used to drain them, moving toward more intentional practices. This episode is all about choosing fun that refuels, not numbs.

What You’ll Hear in Today’s Episode:

• The power of building small, joyful rituals into your routine
• Why outlets don’t always mean escaping
• The late-night trap of reclaiming time by sacrificing sleep
• Why doing something fun and simple can bring big mental relief
• What it means to stay focused without staying serious all the time

Thanks for tuning in to The Action Ignited Podcast. Whether it’s LEGO, music, cooking, or movement your outlet matters.  It’s not an escape, it’s strategy and most importantly fun!
