Feeling overwhelmed is a cue to reset, not push harder. Prioritizing well-being in chaos is about setting boundaries and small, actionable goals. I worked with a client to use the Three-Minute Pause: three moments daily to breathe, reflect, and realign. This helped her tackle projects with more clarity, reduced her stress, and brought a sense of control. I want to reiterate here that well-being doesn’t require drastic changes—just consistent, mindful moments in your day.

The answer is in the question. Yes - you need to prioritize your well-being - that means you must have the recognition that your own wellbeing is always more important than whatever work demands there may be; and to have the intention to stay in a zone of well-being, peace and joy. Only then, are you likely to let to of what is not so important, or better delegate, or shift into a state of clarity, seek help with your workload, creates appropriate boundaries. You may need to look deeply at your dynamics - e.g. are you a people pleaser, are you a perfectionist? You may even need to change jobs! Giving yourself the gift of well-being and freeing yourself from the tyranny of overwork means getting a life!

When work overwhelms me, I remind myself that feeling this way is okay. It's a symptom that I have served myself more than I can chew. I acknowledge my emotions without judgment and write a brain dump to clear my mind and prioritize the work. Taking a moment to pause and breathe profoundly brings me back to the centre. Setting gentle boundaries helps me balance work and life, and I avoid compromising quality sleep, stretching and meals—vital for my well-being. I break tasks into smaller steps & celebrate to boost my motivation. I connect with myself & "me time" energises me. Like a short walk or catching up a few minutes on my favourite TV show. I also train my clients in these habits, and the results are always powerful & amazing
