There are times in life when you're going to feel overwhelmed. Whether it be work, school, social obligations or just life in general, we all feel overwhelmed, anxious or stressed at some point. It's important to give yourself grace when you have these feelings. Try not to brush them off or push through whatever is causing you to feel anxious - your mental health matters. Understand that you can take a step back.
1. | Take a deep breath and step away - create some separation between you and whatever is making you feel this way |
2. | Create a "no" list and set healthy boundaries - protecting your time and space can give you a sense of control over your schedule. If you don't want to do something or have been dreading something, don't feel like you have to go. |
3. | Be kind to yourself - remember that feeling overwhelmed is okay |
4. | Ask for help from a loved one - your social support network is there for you to lean on |
5. | Write it out - writing about why you feel overwhelmed is a great way to alleviate those feelings |
