As the quarter wraps up, stress and overwhelm may be increasing for many of us. This can show up through:

  • Thinking: Being easily distracted, trouble with concentration, trouble remembering
  • Emotions: Trouble relaxing, feeling irritable, feeling down, feeling anxious
  • Body: Increase or decrease of energy, body tension, feeling restless, sweating, being easily startled, having headaches, changes in appetite, difficulty sleeping
  • Behavior: Wanting to be alone, trouble completing work tasks, blaming others or getting into arguments

To mitigate these feelings and experiences amidst deadlines and tasks, it is important to adopt healthy techniques. Try this: in completing a task that elicits stress or a lack of motivation, work for 20 minutes, rest for 10, then repeat. This pattern may help you to stay on track with any deadlines while also creating healing space for any stress you’re experiencing.
