We have increasingly adapted to living a supremely demanding lifestyle, with challenges coming toward us, be it in our personal or professional lives. We constantly feel like we are in over our heads, and we see ourselves failing to manage even daily tasks. This feeling is known as feeling overwhelmed. The inability to deliver is not an indication of our intelligence; however, it does beg the question: why does this happen? What are the implications of feeling this way?
The mental impact of feeling constantly overwhelmed can slow our mental capacity and have effects such as difficulty concentrating and thinking logically. It can also result in fatigue over an extended period of time.
Here are a few ways you can deal with feeling overwhelmed:
- Find the cause of your feeling overwhelmed.
- Set a time limit allotted to certain tasks and aim to complete your workload within that time.
- Delegate, if possible.
- Focus on one thing at a time, and finish that.
- Look at what is in your control and what is not, and remove focus from anything that is not.
- Practice relaxation techniques, such as Meditation and Pranayama.
- Talk to someone, whether someone close to you or a professional.
