I can’t deny it, life has been pretty hectic lately, and it’s taken a toll on my mental and physical health. Trying to juggle work and family commitments while still having some time for self-care can be overwhelming. The worst thing is that sometimes I don’t even realize how stressed out I am until something snaps, and my body reminds me how imbalanced I’ve become.
So, what do I do? Well, first off, I’m trying to make sure that I prioritize self-care in whatever way works best for me - whether that’s taking regular workouts or just a few minutes of silence on my lunch break. Ultimately though, the goal is to stop stress from escalating in the first place. To do this, being intentional about making time for things like planning meals ahead and setting realistic goals helps greatly.
Finally, learning to not sweat the small stuff has been instrumental for me in staying calm during stressful times. There’s no denying that life can be chaotic at times but being able to take a step back and look at the bigger picture has definitely helped give me much needed perspective when things get tough.
