How Not to Overthink

Around this time of year many of us start to feel like we are getting bombarded by a thousand different things. The strain and stress becomes apparent when we start to lose our minds a little bit. Understandably so, it's hard to stay sane when you are trying to balance a million different things at one time.

Once your brain becomes a broken record, constantly repeating all of your thoughts that's when you know it's time to cut the cord. If you don't turn your brain off it will drive you crazy and run you ragged. You need a moment to stop stressing and just be. 

Taking deep breaths and meditating is a really good way to clear some of the clutter in your head, or you can write the things that are stressing you out on a piece of paper and make a game plan on how to combat these problems. If you take the time to live in the moment and combat each problem as it comes up it will be much easier to deal with.

You should never feel that you are alone in feeling stressed or overwhelmed. Friendship is definitely an undervalued resource when it comes to dealing with our problems. Often times if you are feeling the strain, others around you are too. Never be afraid to lean on a friend or ask for help, because that's what friends are for right? They are the foundation that makes up our support system and they allow us to release and unload our problems by sharing our struggles with one another.

We all need to take the time to just live in the moment, because there is no point in stressing over something once it has already been done. You can't change the past after all. We all need to stop worrying so much and just live. You only live once, but if you make your life worthwhile one time is all you need ♥
