When life gets hectic, self-care often takes a back seat. Taking time for activities that nourish your body and mind like reading, exercising, or simply relaxing or meditating is essential.
I know it can be hard to do when things are busy. Prioritising self-care ensures you have the energy and resilience to face challenges and overcome them, allowing your body, mind and soul to be rejuvenated!
Trying to Do Everything at Once
Our mind can becoming overwhlemed when we have so much to do and if you try to tackle too many tasks at once, nothing will get done efficiently. 
Instead, break tasks into smaller, manageable steps and focus on one or two priorities at a time. 
This approach not only make tasks feel more achievable but also gives you a sense of accomplishment as you complete each step.
Ignoring the Power of Mindfulness and Meditation
Mindfulness and meditation can significantly reduce feelings of overwhelm by helping you stay present and centered. 
Taking just a few minutes each day to meditate can clear your mind, reduce stress, and enhance your overall sense of well-being.
Not Setting Boundaries
Learning to say no and setting realistic boundaries is essential in preventing overwhelm. 
Respecting your limits and communicating them clearly can help you manage your responsibilities more effectively.
Avoiding Physical Activity
Exercise is a powerful stress reliever, yet it's often neglected when people feel overwhelmed. 
Physical activity releases endorphins, which can improve mood and reduce stress. Even a short daily walk can make a big difference.
Sleep
Poor sleep can exacerbate stress and make it harder to cope with daily challenges. 
Maintaining a regular sleep schedule and create a relaxing bedtime routine to improve the quality of your sleep.
