Well, today's the day. Whether you're seeking relief from a mental, emotional or physical burden, our experts are at hand with their advice on how to fix your overload issues and resume operation at full power.
Achieve mental clarity
NARROW DOWN YOUR OPTIONS
Big life decisions are undeniably a huge drain on mental energy. But even a series of small, mundane choices can accumulate and put a downer on your day. 'When there are too many options, we consider each one carefully, weighing the pros and cons and trying to anticipate each potential outcome,' says counselling psychologist Dr Rina Bajaj (rinabajaj.com). This can lead to decision fatigue and/or analysis paralysis.
TRY IT 'Reduce your options by setting criteria for what you are looking for, eliminating anything irrelevant, says Dr Bajaj. Asking for someone else's opinion could also help, but be sure to ask the right person!
