Many times that overwhelmed feeling can have a real trigger. When you find yourself at a low point mentally or emotionally, it is a good idea to take a step back and apply the HALT method to your situation. Many times you are depressed or down for other reasons that you may actually have some control over.
The HALT Method
Are you Hungry? ~ Have you eaten a meal recently? A healthy meal?
Are you Angry? ~ Are you angry or upset with someone? Or with a situation?
Are you Lonely? ~ Have you been isolated? When is the last time you spent time with some friends?
Are you Tired? ~ Have you gotten enough sleep lately?Are you getting enough rest?
If you find yourself at this point, I encourage you to take inventory and do what you can to remedy the situation. And remember, we are not usually up for making good choices or thinking very clearly during these times. Give yourself some attention, you need it and you deserve it!
And now an exciting announcement!

Meditation has helped me see the bigger picture when it feels like I’m running away from a giant rock! I recently cleaned out many of the apps off my phone that I don’t use and a small gesture like that can really help take off the load.

Hi, Bernice,
I will make sure to check your site and the Successful Woman’s Guide!
This post in particular really shows why your blog is called “living the balanced life”. It is all about finding balance, teaching us to pay attention to ourselves. You are right, if we feel overwhelmed, we should do something about it and the best way to start is to recognize our habits and their possible influence on us.

I love this! I go through something similar when I’m stressed. I just never gave it a name. I found you on the Georgia Social Media Moms Facebook Group. Keep up the good work.
