The Best-Laid Plans....

Can also seem like a burden. When all's going well, but life is still overwhelming, here's what to do

- Chetna Chakravarty

There's the job: #9to5. Could pay better, but, eh, pays enough to make life decent. There's the side hustle: Creativity for cash, #SoulSoothing. There's the wanderlust: #TravelJunkie. There are numerous restaurants to try and innumerable cuisines to cook: #LitAF. Not to mention the festive season to celebrate: #OOTD challenge, anyone? There's also the paradox of knowing that living life to the fullest is #Awesome, but also #Exhausting!

Good problem to have, right?

Wrong. The most common mistake people make when planning lives full of abundance is not factoring in how much bandwidth abundance - the good stuff - takes up. A full life has to be lived, after all. And too much of anything is overwhelming. Good problems are still problems.

And so the downward spiral begins. There's guilt over the many opportunities that open up, regret for all the ones skipped. The fear that the winning streak might not last. The niggling worry that this is all some terrible mistake that these blessings were really meant for someone else, not you, the impostor.
