Ways To Reduce That Overwhelming Feeling
An overworked and overburdened schedule does not allow for enjoyment in one's life. However, overwhelming feelings can be controlled with these strategies.
Last month of the semester and suddenly you’re up all night completing final projects and making notes for the upcoming exams?
Overwhelm, or being “in over our heads,” gradually creeps into our lives. When our workload increases, for example, we often respond by working longer and harder. We’re up bright and early and work overtime, resulting in cognitive exhaustion. Our brains have a hard time thinking clearly, making judgments, or focusing. The same may be said for our private life. Those who are near to us and depend on us for companionship or relationship support may realize that we are not as present or available as we have been in the past. Furthermore, the turmoil and disaster that have grown increasingly ubiquitous in our society, widely visible on all social media and news networks, can cause mental overload by driving our brains to overthink for a lengthy period of time. Our capacity to deal with the degree of complexity caused by the overwhelm is harmed by this exhaustion. In respect of how we make logical sense of our reality and how we operate in it, the results might be troublesome.
To start lessening their overload, we calm things down and talk about how to manage the controllable or the things we can truly influence. Here are some ways to help you handle each moment with greater ease if you’re feeling overwhelmed, tired, or going a little too quickly for your comfort level.
1. Make a mental note of yourself. On the surface, we’re “back in action”—gatherings, vacations, and cramming in all the activities we feel we’ve lost out on the previous summers. But how do you feel about it in reality? On a scale from 1 – 10 to 10, how overwhelmed or out of charge do you feel? Do you have a mental picture of the summer you’d want to enjoy? For your overall feeling of well-being, making a deliberate summer program based on your beliefs and whoever you choose to spend all your time with is critical.
2. Controllables. It will enable you to regain a sense of control of your circumstances if you figure out what you truly have power over and then act on it. “Who would I want to be and what am I supposed to do right now?” you might wonder. Worrying and stressing over things you can’t change or that are out of your control will only make you feel more overwhelmed. Determine what you can accomplish and take the next best step.
3. Cleaning up throughout the summer. You’ve imagined the summertime (or any time!) you desire, and you’ve considered what you can do to make it a reality. It’s now time to clean up the house a bit. What do you really want to do in your life this summertime that seems most significant to you? What can you get rid of that no longer serves you? This helps with that overwhelming feeling.
4. Define your limits. Set suitable limits so that you may regain control once you understand whoever you want to be – and what is yours to do. Boundaries might be tough to establish and maintain at first, but they are vital if you want to feel least stressed. Your time is valuable, so be sure you’re using it in the areas that contribute most to you. Aligning your activities with your beliefs can help you feel less overwhelmed since everything you do will have meaning and purpose in your life. Boundaries allow your inner vision to manifest itself in the shape of the summer you desire.
With a few tweaks, you can shift your route regardless of where you’re currently headed. Maintaining a consistent tempo prevents fear and tiredness in your brain, enabling you to not only survive but also to live the life you’ve envisaged. To get back to a reasonable cruising pace or a less overwhelming state of mind, use the following options.
