Overwhelm is real; we all feel it.

This , we are looking at the impact of feeling overwhelmed. Feeling overwhelmed by current events in your life or across the world, no matter how big or small, can take a toll on our mental health.

We as Health and Wellbeing Coaches wish to share a few tips to help with this feeling:

Talk with others - when you feel overwhelmed, it can help to connect with other people. You could spend some quality time with loved ones, family or friends.

Give yourself permission to rest - taking time to look after yourself
doesn’t mean you've stopped caring about anything else; it means that you are looking after yourself so that you can keep on caring.

Focus on what you can control - small actions still matter. Taking positive action can help shift feelings out of helplessness and into
purposefulness.

It's ok to feel overwhelmed, just learn to spot the signs and don't keep it bottled up 💙
