Recognizing the Signs that You are
Overwhelmed
|
Life can be
tough. The stress of work-life, home life, and
everything in between can feel like a lot to
handle. One way to better manage our overwhelm
is through self-care.
Recognizing
signs that you are overwhelmed early on and
implementing self-care strategies can help
prevent burnout.
Take the time to do something you enjoy that
nourishes you mentally, emotionally and
physically. As crucial as self-care is, it is
often not made a priority as we make it
through our hectic lives.

You Have
Difficulty Sleeping, or You’re Sleeping Too
Much
One of the signs that you are overwhelmed is a
change in sleeping patterns. You may notice
you are restless throughout the night, and
unable to get a good night’s sleep, despite
how tired you may feel. On the other hand, you
may be sleeping too much. You may find
yourself sleeping in too long, or yearning to
spend any downtime asleep.
A healthy
sleep schedule is essential to maintaining
one’s mental health
Try These Self-Care Strategies ↓
°Establish a
nighttime routine and stick with
it. Try being in bed and waking up at a
specific time each day. This process may
take some trial and error before you’ve
found what works best for you
°Limit alcohol.
Alcohol can disrupt your sleeping patterns
and reduce the quality of your sleep, which
may lead to oversleeping
°Practice
relaxation exercises before bed to
help calm the mind, such as meditation,
yoga, progressive muscle relaxation, etc.
°Consume a
soothing drink before bed, such as
a chamomile tea
Speak with your doctor about any concerns with
your sleeping patterns.

How I try to calm anxiety at
night
These are tips that I use and have
helped me control my racing thoughts.
|
Unplug From
Social Media
Turning off your cell phone and disconnecting
from social media is a helpful way to
de-stress. Doing this hours before you go to
bed will help get you into a calmer, less
anxious, state of mind, which is the goal when
you’re prone to anxious thoughts at this time
of day.
Turning my cell phone off as soon as I’ve
finished work for the day, not only helps calm
the day’s stress but also helps put things in
perspective.
|
Complete a
Relaxation Exercise
Breathing deeply, doing yoga, completing a
body scan or a repetitive prayer – these are
all examples of exercises that can help relax
your mind.
It’s beneficial to practice relaxation
throughout your entire day. These exercises
are effective ways of bringing your thoughts
back to the present moment, calming your mind,
and de-stressing. Even practicing one of these
exercises for a couple of minutes each day can
be helpful. The key though is consistency –
you want to be checking in with yourself
regularly, noticing when you’re becoming
overwhelmed, and implementing self-care
continuously.
Before bed, a relaxation exercise provides the
calmness your mind is craving.
Using Essential oils in my routine has helped
a lot - Citrus
blend, Spearmint,
Lavender,
Chamomile, |
Write in Your
Gratitude Journal
Keeping a gratitude journal, and jotting down
a few things you are grateful for each night
before bed, helps put you in a more positive
frame of mind. Choosing to focus on what you
have, rather than what you don’t, will provide
you with a sense of greater life satisfaction.
When you’re feeling more satisfied with life,
you tend to be happier and more optimistic.
All these positive thoughts and feelings will
help combat any anxious thoughts and feelings,
leaving you calmer, more hopeful, and with a
grateful heart.
Using Forgiveness
it my go to oil.
I have found it helpful in many ways
throughout my life. Not only has it helped me
become more grateful, but it has also helped
challenge and overcome my negative thinking
and self-talk.
|
Distract The
Anxious Mind
There are nights where my anxiety tends to
remain, despite my other calming
efforts. When this happens, I have found
a distraction to be just the right remedy.
Reading a book or watching a movie helps
distract me from my anxious thoughts. When my
mind focuses on something else, I’m no longer
stewing in my negative thoughts, and that
helps me.
For this reason, I make it a point to find
time to do something I enjoy, and that
distracts my mind, before bed. This “Me Time”
is part of the crucial self-care we owe to
ourselves.
|
Consume a Warm
Drink
Drinking warm tea before bed is incredibly
soothing.
I enjoy chamomile tea – which is known to have
a calming effect, decreasing anxiety and
inducing sleep. Some other teas that are best
for sleep include lavender, passionflower,
valerian, and decaf green tea.
Any warm drink, as long as it’s caffeine-free,
could have a similar soothing effect – much
like taking a warm bath
|
Enjoy a Warm Bath
or Shower
Taking a warm bath or shower before bed can
help you sleep.
When you leave a warm bath or shower and enter
a cooler bedroom, there is a slight drop in
your body temperature. This drop leads to your
metabolic functions slowing down, like your
heart rate, breathing, and digestion. All this
helps to induce drowsiness and feelings of
sleep.
Adding essential oils, for instance, can
intensify this benefit since the scent of Lavender,
Nite
Cap, Good
Night Baby, Chamomile,
any of these can help put you in a more
relaxed state.
We know that certain scents are known for
inducing relaxation, such as lavender,
but also chamomile
and jasmine
may be worth a try.
Add a few drops of essential oils into a
diffuser and have this set in your bedroom for
a relaxing and soothing environment, perfect
for catching some Zzzs.

Get to Bed Early
The healthy number of hours you should sleep a
night varies by age, but for adults, it is
about 7-9 hours. I know many of us strive to
get this many hours of sleep. But, also for
many of us, this can be pretty impossible due
to a variety of factors.
Getting to bed early (or as early as is
possible, for that particular day), gives me
more time to calm my mind before actually
falling asleep. And, when I’m calmer right
before bed, I’m able to sleep better.
Even if I’m not sleeping, when I’m physically
in bed, my mind is preparing to slow down and
relax. Often, this means I’m having to read
for hours before falling asleep, but that’s
okay. It still proves to be an effective way
of creating a less anxious night.
Going to bed at the same time each night, when
possible of course, also helps prepare and
ease me into this relaxing bedtime routine.
|
Choose Routine
Over Randomness
I have found that having a nighttime routine –
a process you become accustomed to, can in
itself, reduce your anxiety. Having a plan for
de-stressing, rather than thinking of
de-stress techniques on the whim, has proven,
to me, to be an integral part of relaxing
before bed.
The best nighttime routine is one that most
suits you. It could be as simple as knowing
you will have a warm bath, read one chapter of
your favorite book, and do a breathing
exercise. It all comes down to consistency.
