I am also sure that majority of people across the globe feel overwhelmed a lot or all of the time. Overwhelm has become sort of ”normal thing”!\n\n\n\n\n\nDo you know what causes You to become overwhelmed? I know about myself. Through daily introspection I am doing over the last two years, I came to conclusion that basically they are three main reasons why do we feel like this .Yet, there is always fear behind – fear of this, fear of that, fear of life!  \nSo, first, we fear of missing out something. Second, we fear of disappointing others. Last but not least, being so passionate about our \u201cstuff\u201d (whatever you consider as ”your stuff”) that we want to use up every available minute of the day doing it, forsaking any time to rest or recover.\n\n\n\n\n\nSo how to ”cure” yourselves? Please try to consider the following suggestions in terms of the methodology how to tackle that feeling of overwhelm:\n\n\n\n\n
    \n \t
  1. Don\u2019t compare highlight of others with your everyday life <\/em>– Try to keep in mind that everything you see on social media is really just the highlight reel of people\u2019s lives. I heard many times girls to describe Facebook as the life everyone would have if they were living in the TV series Sex and the City.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
      \n \t
    1.  Understand that no one has it all <\/em>– we have to remember that nobody truly has it all. A perfect family, a perfect career, a perfect body and great mental health? I don\u2019t think so. I have a good friend who was always \u201cgreat.\u201d Over a lunch where I confided in her my struggles with stress from work , when it was her turn to share everything was \u201cjust great.\u201d I later found out she was battling breast cancer at that time. In other words, she never had it all, and ended up with nothing.<\/li>\n \t
    2. Understand that other people\u2019s goals are not your goals<\/em> – it’s only natural to be influenced by our peers, but we must remember that as much as we may love our friends and families, it\u2019s okay to have different values and priorities in life. Just because your friend or husband have a PhD, doesn\u2019t mean you should stay in school pursuing higher education. Just because your neighbor makes a fortune as a venture capitalist, doesn\u2019t mean you need to pursue a career in business. Your values\u2014what you truly want from life\u2014are your values. That\u2019s what makes you, you.<\/li>\n \t
    3. Understand that your priorities may not be priorities at all <\/em>-Sometimes we need to realize that what we think is a priority, is maybe just something that might be nice to have and it is not really that important after all. I am routinely approached by friends and strangers who tell me with a note of envy that I\u2019m so lucky and they would love to do my job and have my lifestyle, too. And yet none of them have ever tried to change anything in their lives but preferred to remain in they comfort zone.<\/li>\n \t
    4. Get comfortable with disappointing others<\/em> – This is a tough one. From the time we are little kids, we are told that it\u2019s good to help others, it\u2019s good to be polite and accommodating, and that arguing or having disagreements is bad. No wonder so many of us struggle with saying no. You have to become comfortable with protecting your time, with establishing boundaries and what you\u2019ll discover is that true friends and true professionals don\u2019t expect you to say yes all of the time. Even if someone is disappointed with your no, they won\u2019t hold it against you.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n\nLast but not least, try to programme yourself to mode I call \u201clet me get back to you<\/em>.\u201d If by default we are programmed from childhood to say yes to everything and everyone, we need to reprogram ourselves perhaps not to say \u201cno\u201d\u2014because that is very difficult for many\u2014but instead to just say, \u201clet me get back to you.\u201d\nOf course after saying \u201clet me get back to you,\u201d you could get back to them in a few minutes, or the next day, or even a week. That\u2019s the beauty of it. You aren\u2019t locking yourself into a specific time frame and that gives you the time and the comfort to think it through. Perhaps you will decide to say yes, but at least it will be an intentional yes. And for those who have trouble saying no to someone\u2019s face, you can always say let me get back to you, and then give them a polite no via email.\n\n\n\n\n\nNow imagine simple three overlapping circles whereby representing your 3Ps : Passions, Priorities plus Productivity. <\/strong>The zone in the middle, where all three circles overlap, should be zone for your personal development . Remember, if you happen to miss any one of these three 3Ps is missing, you will feel it. Hence, your goal should be to take notice, and adjust your life until you are back in the middle \u2013 in other words, living in the zone.\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
