Less to think about
In my previous post, I shared the final steps of preparing our apartment for rent — a place we no longer live in.
In this post, I want to focus on something that, in my opinion, is extremely important:
Learning to think about fewer things at once.
As someone who gets overwhelmed easily and is quite emotional,
when I have too much on my mind, I become anxious.
I feel the urge to do everything at once —
just to clear my head.
Of course, it never works like that.
Most things involve other people, schedules, and time.
And very rarely can everything be done in a single day — or alone.
In moments like this, writing becomes my best friend.
Writing down tasks.
Writing down thoughts.
Creating a simple plan.
All of this helps me release the pressure in my head
and reduce the stress.
That’s why I feel calmer now.
The apartment is finally ready for rent,
and the only thing left is to find someone who wants to live there.
Just the thought of going there used to make me anxious.
Every time — cleaning (and it’s not a small apartment),
buying groceries, unpacking, organizing,
and then packing everything again to leave.
Doing this over and over again felt like too much.
Now that this is no longer on my mind,
things feel different.
When we go to my hometown, we stay with my mother,
and the stress is lower.
Of course, the tasks are still there —
cleaning, shopping, organizing —
but it feels lighter.
Because you’re not doing everything alone.
And maybe that’s the key.
With less on my mind,
I finally have space again —
to think about my dreams,
to write,
and to do the things I truly enjoy.
If your mind feels lighter when there’s less to carry:
