What To Do When You Feel Overwhelmed With Life

When you feel overwhelmed with life, you become confused. Your brain becomes overloaded with so much information. And when the brain takes more than it can handle, it shuts down. So you turn to self-sabotaging habits like not doing the work you know you’re supposed to be doing.

When you feel overwhelmed with life, you have to learn to acknowledge it. You have to realize that it’s totally normal to feel this way. It’s normal to want many things, doing multiple things that help you survive or thrive. But learn how to focus and prioritize.

When you feel overwhelmed with life, you have to learn to make space for it. You have to make space for your emotions. And you have to let yourself feel it. Otherwise, it’s going to get clogged within your body until one day you’ll explode. And it won’t be in your control. 

When you feel overwhelmed with life, you have to learn that it will go away. That it’s all in your head. And the best antidote for feeling overwhelmed is creating solutions. Write down all your worries on a piece of paper. Now, make a plan for each worry. And slowly tackle them every day.

When you feel overwhelmed with life, you have to learn how to trust yourself. You have to trust that you will be able to overcome it. You’ve overcome challenges before, so I know you can do it again. But you have to remember that always.

When you feel overwhelmed with life, ask for help. Asking for help is a sign of strength and not weakness. When you ask for help, you allow yourself to be free of hardship. And that’s a sign of self-love.

When you feel overwhelmed with life, it’s the universe telling you to slow down. To reevaluate your life. It’s not a bad thing to be feeling overwhelmed. Take it as a signal to protect your energy so that you can show up better for the world.

When you feel overwhelmed in life, know that it’ll all be okay.
