Overwhelmed: Five Mistakes We Make And How To Avoid Them
Many of us feel overwhelmed in these strange times, and need to avoid the common mistakes we make:
- Just Do It: We need to stop waiting for the exact ‘right’ moment and actually take action with the available options right now.
- Your Unconscious Mind: Make use of it by sitting still and not engaging your mind at all times.
- Don’t Be Self-Critical: Don’t self-sabotage yourself by negative thoughts and embrace self-compassion instead.
- Use A Different Approach: Our own values and beliefs may need a rethink and we might require fresh, alternative solutions to our problem.
- Connect With Loved Ones: Make sure you are not neglecting your support group, friends and family in these hard times.
