Tip of the Week: Managing Overwhelm

Life can sometimes feel overwhelming, but having strategies to cope can make all the difference. Here are three practical tips to help manage those feelings of overwhelm:

1. Break Tasks Into Smaller Steps: Big tasks can feel daunting, so break them down into smaller, more manageable pieces. Focus on one step at a time, and celebrate your progress as you complete each one.

2. Take Sensory Breaks: If you’re feeling overstimulated, create moments of calm by stepping away from the situation. Use noise-canceling headphones, calming music, or quiet spaces to reset and recharge.

3. Set Clear Boundaries: It’s okay to say “no” or ask for more time when you’re feeling overwhelmed. Prioritizing your well-being is important, and people will understand when you communicate your needs.

Remember: It’s perfectly okay to take breaks, set boundaries, and work at your own pace. Every small step forward is a win!
