Overwhelmed with life's stressors

[ZandraJoi]

Sometimes when we are drained it’s because we have too many things on our list.
I remember to practice Self-Care. When I find there are so many things on my mind, I make a To-do list. Some add in pros & cons that may be helpful. Seeing what I have to do helps get it out of my head. Very important also is to add in that list relaxation. Whether that is reminding yourself to take a hot bath, practicing yoga, going for a walk. Even vegging in front of the TV if that calms you down. It’s OKAY to say NO & to cross off things on your list that you really don’t want to do & it doesn’t need to be done by YOU.
I find my stress gets high with those To-Do's. We tend to want to do more & more & then before we know it, we are so overwhelmed with life.
What helps you cope with the stressors of life?

When life overwhelms me, I pause. I take a deep breath, step away, and remind myself that I don’t have to fix everything at once. I focus on one thing I can control, whether it’s movement, music, or a quiet moment. Little by little, I find my way back to balance.

When life feels overwhelming, I try to break things down into smaller, manageable tasks. Focusing on one thing at a time helps prevent feeling scattered. I also make sure to take breaks—sometimes even a quick walk or just stepping away for a moment can clear my mind. Talking to someone I trust also helps release pent-up feelings.

There are so many things in life that stresses people. Having to pay bills against limited income, having to take care of a family, and striving to meet up with job datelines are all factors that combine to stress the hell out of people. Sometimes, just taking things easy can help overcome those stress.
