Feeling Overwhelmed? These Tips Can Clear Your Head

Candy WashingtonComment

Hi lovelies,

If you’re overworked or have a lot going on at the same time it can be quite easy to become overwhelmed. This is especially the case if you’re busy in multiple areas of your life, such as study, work, family, etc. People have different points where they become overwhelmed. Humans are unique, some worry about their weight while others will focus on work or health. It’s why tips to help may work for some and not others. They can at least give you something to think about and help adjust your perspective. 

Try To Relax
It’s easier said than done. Especially if you’re a workaholic. But focusing on your downtime can be really important. The problem is, if your downtime isn’t engaging enough it won’t help you relax enough and you’ll go right back to worrying and feel overwhelmed again. Try finding alternatives to cable tv, or maybe mix up your exercise routine a little. The trick is in doing something you enjoy, but that’s a little different too. It’s because doing something different will occupy your mind and hopefully stop you from worrying once again because you won’t have the time to focus on it. It might be that you carve out some time each week, where you always do something that helps you relax.

Focus On Energy
The energy you have is extremely important. Moreso if you’re self employed. The energy you have can literally dictate your income. If you have low energy you won’t want to do anything. It’s why you need to focus on energy as best you can and make sure you have enough to do what you want. Increasing your energy can be pretty simple. For a start you need to assess your diet as best possible. More fruit and vegetables can really improve the amount of energy you have. Try to focus on getting a better night’s sleep too and falling into a good routine. Consider cutting out the cigarettes and dropping back on the alcohol. Some may be easier than others but they’ll all help you out.

Put Effort Into Something Different
Sometimes when you’re feeling overwhelmed it helps to just turn away and start putting effort into something completely different. Perhaps it's into something you’ve been thinking about for a long time, like making money from your creativity. Perhaps you have an idea for a business venture or you want to set up a blog. Simply going through the process of placing your time and energy into something which doesn’t overwhelm you might leave you feeling a lot better. That doesn’t mean you have to ignore that side of your life but it might give you the headspace and clarity that you need. It might be a new hobby, or a commitment to spend more time with friends and family. Socialising is important, whether face to face or digitally over facetime.. Everyone is different so you may need to experiment before finding that one thing which leaves you with a peace of mind time after time.
