What's 1 piece of advice you have for someone who is feeling overwhelmed with life?
Take your life 1 piece at a time. Focus on 1 piece of pie and digest it.
This is hard for me, especially as of late. So much in my personal life. New things in the workplace. Being a wife. My friends require more of my help lately. And so much more.
I chew what I can. I know that the piece of pie will be there later if I can't chew it now. It's a hard balance. But I am 1 person. There's only so much I can do. That's how I have to look at it. It's not easy. But I can only do what I can do.
When I begin to feel overwhelmed I stop, take a deep breath, and evaluate the situation. Then I lay out a plan of attack. Kinda like when you clean the garage. Look at the mess, divide it into manageable tasks and proceed till you are done.
My personal life has also been absolute chaos lately. staying Sober has been so hard. I struggle with self deprecating thoughts all the time. I tell myself, this is only temporary. I’ve had long stints of sobriety before- I know I can do it.
Take a break. As much as I hate to procrastinate- you may have to put it off until tomorrow.
