It can be easy to feel overwhelmed – whether it’s by the length of your to-do list, or by the number of social commitments in your diary – and, since the pandemic, an increasing number of people have reported feeling stressed and overwhelmed by their everyday lives.
But there are things you can do to help mitigate feelings of overwhelm. Maybe you’ve deleted social media apps from your phone and found that you are better able to concentrate? Or perhaps you quit meal prepping and found you actually felt far less stressed about mealtimes? Or maybe you gave up cleaning your house on a daily basis and found that you had more space in your life for fun and joy?
If you’ve made a change that has helped combat feeling overwhelmed – whether at work or in your personal life – tell us about it below.
