How do you stay motivated when life gets overwhelming?

Recommended Posts

I’m curious about how you stay motivated when life feels overwhelming. Do you have personal routines, inspirational quotes, or support networks that help you push through challenging times? Perhaps you use creative outlets, physical exercise, or mindfulness techniques to regain your focus and energy. Share your strategies, personal experiences, and any advice that has helped you maintain motivation during stressful periods.

I've learned to scale back expectations during overwhelming periods rather than maintaining unrealistic standards. Celebrating smaller wins - even just making my bed or taking a short walk - provides momentum. I keep a 'done list' instead of just a to-do list to visualize progress.

Celebrating small wins is the way to go. No win is a bad one, and being happy with small victories can always go a long way in making all of us to be very happy and fine. That is a key way to stay on track.

I completely zone out of everything and take a break. You will never know how good taking a time off helps to calm down your brain and put the person in the right frame of mind to come back better and stronger.

Yep. I've taken that approach with almost everything. When handling complex problems, break it down into more manageable portions so that I can better address it.

You are doing it the right way! It is only when you are able to break it down in a good way that you can be able to figure out which part that you will begin to handle better.
