Mr. Stress! ??
Do you feel like you got knocked out by unwelcomed stress and overwhelming thoughts? It's okay to feel a certain level of stress, but once it's gone beyond that level, it needs to be checked. Having overwhelming thoughts is natural, as it happens when a person's emotional regulation is tampered with. Often, people get overwhelmed regarding work, relationships, experiences, health, finance, and many more. As a result, their positive mental health is replaced with otherwise, thus reflecting negative emotions.
Yet, as there is a solution to every problem, we have 5 tips for you to overcome overwhelming thoughts!?
Trace it down: Try to pinpoint the source of the overwhelming thought. Ask yourself what you can take off your plate to reduce your stress.
Challenge perfectionism: Perfectionism and procrastination go hand in hand, as when one focuses on perfecting a work that's good enough, it is postponed to be submitted, and the rest of the tasks are delayed.
Timeboxing: Set your boundaries for every task & crack each down, one by one in the allotted time.?
Focus on the present: When you are overwhelmed, you tend to stress more about the past or future than think of the present. Practice some mindful activities like meditation and single-tasking to focus on the present.
Forget the uncontrollable: Pay attention to things you can control rather than things beyond your control. It's easy to concentrate on things that are out of control. So, stop worrying about what's out of hand.
