Is Your Life on Overload?
So often women are the ones who shoulder work
worries, with the added concerns of household
problems, rearing children and/or caring for
elderly parents. The result? A headache, insomnia,
eating binges, loss of appetite, stomach pain,
fatigue, restlessness or difficulty concentrating.
What should we do? Make time for ourselves. An
hour in the bathtub, a cup of tea and a good
book, a long walk - just do whatever it is you
enjoy.
If you think your life is on overload, follow
these steps to strike a better balance.
- Recognize the problem.
- Stop and take an inventory of your life.
- Prioritize.
- Learn when to say no.
- Talk to a health care professional if you
think you are suffering from depression, anxiety
or other unexplained feelings.
