Now on to our weekend daily check-in for December 19th to December 21st 2025

In our fast-paced and busy lives, we can often feel overwhelmed by the challenges we face each day. Feeling overwhelmed can be having too many things in your life at once. When you take on too much, it can burn you out and hurt your health.

The weight of daily life, stress, health concerns, and experiencing various events in your life can sometimes make you feel overwhelmed.. This can harm not only our physical health but also our mental health, to the point where our mind goes spinning out of control.

Causes of being overwhelmed:

Job stress: The dreaded deadlines that come too quickly when we are not even at the point of finishing the task. It can also be job instability, discrimination at work, and balancing work tasks.

Major life transition: This can be from moving to another state to rebuild yourself, or a job-related transition. It can be when your children begin college in another city or state, or when you have personal relationship issues such as divorce, remarriage.

Relationship clashes: This is when we have clashes or disagreements with your spouse or partner and the fighting becomes too much to processe. The communication becomes poor where you do not talk out differences.

Financial stress: Most people experience financial stress somewhere in you lives. This type of stress can make you feel depressed.

( These are just a few examples of being overwhelmed)

Ways to cope with being overwhelmed

Talk it out: practice setting positive self-talk to yourself by telling you yourself you will over come this.

Spending time outdoors: Taking walks in nature, at the ocean can calm you down. By listenting to what mother nature gave us, can give a soothing feeling.

Being physicall active: working out whether at the gym or home can give you time to think as your working out how to related to being overwhelmed.

Mindfulness practices: another way to relaxe through yoga, meditation, and breathing exercises.

When you feel overwhelmed sometimes talking to a family member or friends can help you see what you could be missing. Nothing is wrong with asking for help at times, because the words of others, can make a see a picture we were not able to see. It is also not a problem when you seek help from a therapist or psychologist.
