'I feel quite overwhelmed and I have no idea'
Secondly, if you agree with the above statement.. its okay , it does NOT make you weird, it does NOT mean you are being dramatic , it just means you are still human and it happens to the best of us, including me. Maybe you could be feeling overwhelmed because of something we call LIFE, that gets in the way sometimes and throws some unexpected things your way, or you could be like me who has had 10000 and billion things to do at a time. In fact the majority of February I was feeling so overwhelmed and very unbalanced, and felt like I was losing control of staying on top of things.
Personally I think the best way to overcome this before it spirals out of control and gets worse, is to take a step back. Take a break from some of the craziness around you, recognise that you come first and you cannot drain yourself and divide your energy everywhere if there is a cost. For me that meant taking a break away from blogging, re organising myself better making sure i was trying to be easy on myself and creating more me time.
Jonathan Fields has a simple framework called " Good life buckets", which I think is very useful in times like this to reflect on which areas of your life may be leaking or, not overflowing as it should be. The three buckets of life could be seen as contribution, connection and vitality, identify which buckets may be low and work on ways to contribute to that bucket.
I've just created this video to help explain the buckets further and how you can implement them.
For me when I took a step back I improved on taking care of myself more by improving the state of my mind and body by and improving my connections, spending more time being in tune with my friends and contacting and spending time with them more and trying to spend more time with God.
I hope you can use this evaluating tool to help push you out of feeling overwhelmed.
