For the days when everything feels too much

  Some days feel like a nightmare — full of pressure and rush. On those days I feel tired, overwhelmed, chased by tasks. It feels like my head is going to explode. Everything slips through my fingers and I lose control, unable to do anything and forced to do everything at the same time. The pressure squeezes me in a deadly hug, trying to drain all my energy and leave me barely breathing on the floor. It feels like there is a fog around me and my mind tries to see through it. Everything becomes too loud, too fast, or sometimes painfully slow. Anxiety fills my body like poison. When I feel that I’m losing the present from my sight, I try to stop and breathe. I take a small moment for myself — closing my eyes, trying to find the safe space in my soul, the refuge inside my body — and I tell myself: Everything will be fine. This will pass.

Less to think about

In the previous post, I shared with you about our last steps to rent the apartment in which we no longer live. In this post, I would like to focus your attention to (in my opinion) the importance to think about less things at a time.

As a person who easily gets overwhelmed, also very emotional, when having too much to think about I become nervous and want to do everything right now, just to get my head clear.

Of course, it does not happen like that because usually “the things” involve other people, schedules and so on. In addition, rarely is it possible to do it alone or in a day. In such situations, writing is the best friend I could ever have. Writing down tasks, thoughts, making a schedule always helps me to reduce the stress and to unload the pressure in my head.

For this reason, finally, I am calmer because the apartment is now ready for rent and the final step is to find somebody who wants to live there. Just the thought of traveling to that apartment made me very anxious because I have to clean it every time (it is not a small one), buy food, unpack everything, put it away, after that pack to leave it. I find it too much, especially, doing it every month.

So now, that is out of my mind and when going to my home city we are staying with my mother and stress levels will be lower. Do not get me wrong, cleaning, grocery shopping, packing etc are still there, but differently. Moreover, you always have somebody extra to help you.

Not having this in my mind, I could spend more time thinking about my dreams, time to write in the blog and to do whatever I like.
