- Hone down your to-do list
Write down 3 priority items to accomplish each day. After you’ve finished them, tackle the other items on the list if you have extra time. This practice can help simply your day and bring about a sense of ease.
- Make a plan for the season
What’s the #1 thing you want to accomplish by the end of this season? Remind yourself of this plan, every time you find yourself getting off track.
- Make time for downtime
Smell those flowers, take leisurely walks and sit in the sunshine. Spend time with family and friends. Schedule it just like you’d schedule a client or business appointment.
- Get support
Reach out to others. Talk through the overwhelm by processing it with a willing friend or partner, join a community group or work with a therapist, coach or wellness professional.
