We live in an incredible world with advanced technology and the opportunity to seek information on anything we choose. Our horizons are expanding as we learn and develop our knowledge. Most of us can access information on our smart phones whenever we choose and wherever we are.
But there is a flip side to this. With opportunities to consume more and constant internet access, we can soon find ourselves in information overload!
For most of us life is busy with constant juggling of our work, life and family commitments. There are times when there is just too much going on. Perhaps work is particularly busy, family activities build up or there are unforeseen events which need our attention.
It is during these times, when there is too much going and we do not feel in control, that we begin to feel overwhelmed, and this causes stress.
When we lay awake at night thinking about what needs to be done, or can't focus on what needs our attention, we are not functioning at our best.
The good news is that there are things which you can do to help you take control of overwhelm and get back on track.
