How To Detox Your Feelings

Feeling overwhelmed? It’s time for a detox!

Overwhelm starts in your mind. Stress and anxiety can be very isolating and it’s a sensitive subject to discuss — even with your closest friends and family members. It makes it easy to think that you are alone in dealing with these issues. It feels like you are somehow weaker or you’re falling behind.

A recent study found that 92% of working moms and 89% of stay-at-home moms felt overwhelmed by work, home and parenting responsibilities.

Statistics tell us that these types of issues are very common. Our beliefs that others are doing better than us and that we are falling behind or we’re failing can shape our inner voices into our own worse enemies.

Say nice things to yourself. Most of us say things to ourselves when we’re feeling down that we would never dream of telling another person whom we know is feeling stressed out and overwhelmed. So, why do we feel like we can talk to ourselves like this?

Know that you are not alone. If you can’t say positive things to yourself, at least commit to not saying negative things or talking down to yourself. Remember when your Mom told you — “if you don’t have anything good to say, don’t say anything”? This applies to your own inner voice as well.

Make the bed. Making the bed first thing in the morning should be the cornerstone of your self-help routine. If you make the bed first thing in the morning, you will have accomplished the first task of the day. it will give you a small sense of pride and accomplishment at the start or your day and it helps you to get motivated to do other tasks. It can give you a small sense of order that can set off a chain of events and help you be more productive. When you get to the end of the day and you look back, you can see all the things that you were able to accomplish. Little habits like this make a huge difference over time.

Say no. This may come as a shocker but, you’ve been lied to your entire life. The magic word is not “please”. The magic word is “no”. It is perfectly ok, when you’re stressed out and overwhelmed, to say no to things in order to take things off your plate.

In many cases, when you say “no” to one thing, you’re saying “yes” to something…
