15 Things To Do When You’re Struggling In Life
1. Breathe
When you’re struggling, problems, stress, and anxiety can easily pile up causing you to feel so overwhelmed and paralyzed. In moments like this, it’s so important to slow down, press pause, and just allow yourself to breathe.
Take a deep breath with me. Close your eyes. Take a few deep breaths.
Breathe in. Breathe in hope, strength, and happiness.
Breathe out. Breathe out worry, anxiety, and stress.
2. Create A List and Make A Plan
When you’re struggling in life, facing so many problems at once can easily paralyze you. It can easily make you believe that overcoming your struggles and improving your life is just too impossible.
One thing that really helped me fight the feeling of overwhelm and helped alleviate my stress was to create a list of the things that I needed to do, what my goals were and what actions I needed to take to achieve those goals.
First, you must figure out where you want to be in your life. Determine your priorities, and the goals you want to achieve. Then make a list of all the things that you need to do to achieve your goals and align your actions with your priorities.
Remember it also helps to break down big tasks into smaller tasks to help you avoid stress and procrastination.
