Introduction

We’re all feeling overwhelmed sometimes. And if you’re like me, you’ve probably felt this way more than once in your life. We are bombarded with information and demands on our time from every angle — sometimes it’s just too much to handle! But it’s important that we remember that there’s help available for people like us who don’t know how to deal with the emotions that come with being so stressed out or overwhelmed. So if you feel like there isn’t enough hours in a day or that everything is piling up on top of itself, here are some ways to get through those moments when life feels out of control:

Set a timer.

A timer is a great way to help you focus on one task at a time. If you’re feeling overwhelmed with all the things on your plate, set the timer for exactly how long you want to work on something and then move on once the time is up. For example:

• Set your phone’s timer for 10 minutes and use that time only for working on email (or whatever else needs attention). When five minutes have passed, take a quick break by getting up from your desk and moving around for three minutes before returning with renewed energy!
• If there are several tasks that need attention during this week’s workday–say, responding to emails from coworkers who are out sick or completing an important project report due ” tomorrow “–set separate timers so as not to get lost in any one activity (and thus forget about others).

Don’t be afraid to ask for help.

• Don’t be afraid to ask for help.
• It’s ok to ask for help, and you’re not a burden or bothering anyone by doing so.
• There are people in your life who want to help you, but they need to know that they can do something useful by offering their support in order for them to be effective at helping you through your struggles and challenges. You don’t have any control over whether someone will offer their assistance or not; all you can do is ask!

Learn to say no.

Saying no isn’t as easy as it sounds. When you’re feeling overwhelmed, it can be difficult to find the energy or motivation to make decisions about what you want–let alone what you don’t want. But if you don’t take care of yourself now, how will you be able to help others later?

Here are some tips on how to say no:

• Say “I’d love too” instead of “yes.” This gives yourself an extra moment before committing yourself fully into something new and gives other people time to find another solution if necessary.
• Use phrases like “I’m not sure,” or even better yet: listen carefully before speaking at all! The more questions asked before making commitments means less time spent doing things that aren’t right for us individually or our lives overall (and more time doing things we actually enjoy).

Take care of yourself by eating well, sleeping well and exercising.

You’re probably already aware of the benefits of eating well, sleeping well and exercising regularly. But if you are feeling overwhelmed, it can be hard to make time for these things in your schedule. Here are some tips:

• Eat a balanced diet that includes fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains (like brown rice), lean proteins (like chicken breast) and healthy fats (such as olive oil).
• Get enough sleep each night–7-9 hours is ideal! This will help keep your mind clear so that it has the energy needed to work through problems during daylight hours when possible solutions may become clearer than they would otherwise seem when we’re tired out from lack of restful slumber.* Try going to bed earlier than usual by setting an alarm clock 15 minutes early every night until bedtime arrives sooner than expected.* If possible try incorporating some sort of exercise into each day even if just walking around the block once or twice during lunch break.*

Get enough sleep!

Sleep is the time when your body and mind recover from the day. It’s an essential part of physical and mental health, which means that if you’re not getting enough sleep, it could be affecting how well your body functions.

Sleep helps us focus better, be more creative and productive at work or school, feel energized throughout the day (and not just when we wake up), and even boosts our immune system! If you’re feeling tired all day long despite getting seven hours of sleep each night–or if those seven hours aren’t doing much for your energy levels–then it might be worth looking into whether or not something else is keeping them down.

Don’t beat yourself up over mistakes made or things that didn’t go as planned — they happen!

It’s important to remember that you’re going to make mistakes. Everyone does, and it’s part of being human. When you make a mistake, don’t beat yourself up–instead, try to learn from it so that you can do better next time. As an added bonus, this will also help you feel less overwhelmed by your mistakes!

You may not be able to control everything in life or other people’s actions (or lack thereof), but there are some things within your power: how much time and energy are devoted towards each task; whether or not something gets done at all; how well-organized things are kept; etcetera ad infinitum…

Be kind and compassionate to yourself as well as others.

One of the best things you can do for yourself is to be kind and compassionate towards yourself. It’s easy to get caught up in the “shoulds” and “have-tos” of life, beating yourself up when things don’t go as planned or feel as if they should. But remember: this is your life–no one else’s! You are allowed to make mistakes; you are allowed not to be perfect at everything all the time; and most importantly, YOU ARE ENOUGH JUST AS YOU ARE RIGHT NOW IN THIS MOMENT.

Don’t forget that being kind means not only being kind towards others but also being kind towards yourself. This might mean taking some time out from working on something stressful (like writing your thesis) so you can take care of yourself physically or mentally by doing something fun like going for a walk outside or watching an episode from one of your favorite TV shows on Netflix.

You have the power within you and can get through this

There is no shame in asking for help. You are not a failure, and you are not a bad person if you need help with your mental health.

You have the power within you and can get through this.

You are strong, even when it feels like everything is falling apart around you.

It’s hard to admit that you need help

When you’re feeling overwhelmed, it can be hard to admit that you need help. You may worry about what other people will think of you or feel guilty for asking for help when others are struggling too. But the truth is that everyone needs support from time to time–and often, the best way to get that support is by asking for it directly.

It’s important not only to recognize when someone else might benefit from outside assistance but also yourself! We all have different ways of coping with stressors in our lives, so don’t hesitate if someone tells you they want some extra help getting through a difficult period in their life; chances are good that this will work out well for both parties involved (and possibly even make new friends).

Understand that the expert is not shaming you

It’s important to understand that when an expert tells you something, they are not trying to make you feel bad. They’re not trying to make you feel that you are a failure or that your weakness is showing. They just want to help improve your situation so that it works better for everyone involved.

Remember that the expert knows what they are talking about

Remember that the expert knows what they are talking about. They have gone through this before and have seen all kinds of people come through it, so they know how to help you. They are not alone in their ability to help; there are many other people out there who can provide assistance. You aren’t the first person to go through something like this and you won’t be the last either! Remember that all things happen for a reason, even if it doesn’t seem like it right now.

You will get through this!

Let go of guilt and shame. You cannot control everything or everyone in your life.

If you are feeling overwhelmed, it’s important to let go of guilt and shame.

You cannot control everything or everyone in your life. If something happens that is beyond your control, don’t beat yourself up about it–just accept that it happened and move on with your day.

If there is something that you could have done differently but didn’t because of fear or laziness, try not to feel guilty about this either. For example: if someone asks for help with a project at work and you say no because “you don’t have time” when really what was stopping them from asking was their own fear of failure (or maybe even just plain laziness), then don’t beat yourself up over this choice! Just accept what happened as part of being human; no one gets everything right every time…and sometimes we just need some space from other people so we can figure out what direction our lives should go next!

Letting go is a good thing!

Letting go is a good thing. It can be hard, but it’s definitely worth it.

• You can’t control everything in life. Learning this will help you feel better because you’ll stop worrying about things that aren’t under your control.
• When we have too many things on our plate and feel like we don’t have enough time for them all, it adds stress to our lives (and makes us miserable). If there are some tasks or people that aren’t important to me anymore, then I’m going to let them go!

You feel like you’re alone and no one understands what you’re going through.

You are not alone.

You are not the first person to feel this way and you will not be the last. Other people have been through similar things and survived, so you can do it too. You can get through this.

You feel like you don’t have the energy to keep going.

When you’re feeling overwhelmed, it’s natural to think that others have it easier than you. But this isn’t true. There are many people out there who are struggling with their mental health as well–and some of them might be closer than you think.

You may feel like you can’t ask for help because no one would understand or care about your problems. But the truth is that most people want to help when they see someone in need of support; it’s just a matter of finding the right person (or people) for the job!

It’s okay if asking for help makes us feel weak or vulnerable; we all need support from time to time throughout our lives…even superheroes!

You are overwhelmed by everything that needs to get done, but don’t know what to prioritize.

If you are feeling overwhelmed by everything that needs to get done and don’t know what to prioritize, then consider getting help from a professional. They can help you figure out what tasks need immediate attention and which can wait until later.

You may also want to learn how to prioritize tasks on your own so that when something comes up that requires immediate attention, like a deadline or an emergency situation, then you will know exactly where it fits into the larger picture of your life and work goals. Here are some tips:

• Make lists of all the things that need doing (e.g., laundry, paying bills). When making these lists try not only thinking about what needs doing today but also whether or not those items could be done tomorrow instead if necessary (e.g., laundry). This will allow us more flexibility when dealing with unforeseen circumstances such as illness or other commitments coming up unexpectedly during our regular routine time frame for completing household chores such as doing laundry every Monday evening before going out with friends after work every Tuesday night after getting off work early due to inclement weather conditions outside….

You know that there’s help available, but you can’t figure out where to get it.

• You know that there’s help available, but you can’t figure out where to get it.

The internet is full of information about mental health and how to seek treatment. If you’re feeling overwhelmed by your emotions or thoughts, do some research and learn about what it means for someone who experiences these things. Your doctor may be able to recommend a therapist or other professional who can help you manage your symptoms. They might also be able to prescribe medication if necessary (and make sure your insurance covers it).

You can also ask friends who have been through similar experiences for recommendations; chances are they’ll have heard good things about their own doctors or therapists–or maybe even know someone personally who can provide feedback on them! Online forums are another great resource; just make sure not only that the people posting are legitimate users but also that they aren’t giving advice based solely on hearsay rather than personal experience.”

As long as someone is concerned about your mental health, there is help for you!

• You have the power within you.
• Your child chose you because they know that you can get through this!
• You are strong and determined, just like your child is!
