Mental Health Monday - What To Do When You Are Feeling Overwhelmed

Lately, I have been feeling overwhelmed all the time. I never used to notice before that often my anxiety and panic is really just me feeling overwhelmed and unprepared to deal with my emotions and what is going on around me. I decided to look on the internet to find some ways to deal with being overwhelmed and came across some great suggestions so I thought I'd share them with all of you.




1. TIRED
 - the more tired you are the worse it becomes - make sure you are getting enough rest and that you don't find yourself  over tired

2. LET GO
 - let go of everything you are thinking, back away and look at the big picture

3. MINIMIZE
 - look at what you can do to minimize what you have to do try to at least achieve the bare minimum if you do more than that it is a bonus

4. SELF CARE
 - make sure you are taking care of yourself and your personal needs

5. TRUST YOURSELF
 - only you know what you need and what you can do , trust in that

6. PRIORITIZE
 - be realistic and remember time

7. BE CREATIVE
 - problem solve creatively

8. FOCUS ON THE MOMENT
 - you can only do one thing at a time and you are only one person focus on each thing you are doing in that moment and then move onto the next

"Dream small dreams. If you make them too big, you get overwhelmed and you don't do anything. If you make small goals and accomplish them, it gives you the confidence to go on to higher goals."  John H. Johnson
