9. + Coping Strategies
Be realistic: Set limits. Say no to extra responsibility or
activities if feeling overwhelmed.
Stop being a superhero: No one is perfect so don't expect
that from yourself or others. What really needs to get done? Is
a deadline realistic? Ask for help when needed.
Take one thing at a time: When feeling overwhelmed by many
tasks, pick one urgent task. Complete one task before moving
onto another.
Go easy on the criticism: Expectations for self and others can
be too high, setting people up to fail.
Share feelings: Stay in touch with people! Friends can provide
a sounding board, show support and provide guidance.
