Dear Gijjakuta, Thank you for reaching out with your question. It sounds like you are feeling overwhelmed and stressed about the demands of your work and personal life. It's completely understandable to feel this way, especially given the current circumstances we are all facing. You are not alone in feeling this way, and it's important to acknowledge that it's okay to feel overwhelmed at times. From a Buddhist perspective, it's important to practice mindfulness and be present in the moment. When we feel overwhelmed, our minds tend to jump around and focus on everything that needs to be done, which can create more stress and anxiety. By focusing on the present moment and taking things one step at a time, we can reduce our stress levels and increase our sense of calm. From a psychological perspective, it's important to practice self-care and set boundaries. It sounds like you have a lot on your plate, and it's important to take care of yourself in order to be able to take care of others. This can mean setting boundaries with work and making time for activities that bring you joy and relaxation. As a coach, my advice for you would be to prioritize your tasks and delegate when possible. Make a list of everything that needs to be done and prioritize the most important tasks. When possible, delegate tasks to others to reduce your workload. It's also important to make time for self-care activities, such as exercise, meditation, or spending time with loved ones. Remember to be kind to yourself and take things one step at a time. You are capable of handling everything that comes your way, and it's okay to ask for help when needed. Take care, Hotoke Ai
