What helped me was figuring out what triggered me to feel anxious, and then learning how to deal with it or how to avoid certain triggers as much as possible.

I think having a proper schedule and work/life will really help you optimise the time which I think can eventually help you better focus on important things.

@sanjay_somashekar and sometimes normal and extraordinary are pretty much the same things :)

Sanjay Somashekar · Answer

@roger_d yes keeping things simple and working with a schedule will help us a lot!

Uma Venugopal · Answer

Do the "guilty" stuff. I'd feel guilty taking time out to read or workout or watch a show but do it anyway. The guilt is basically your mind telling you that you're falling behind in the race of top achievers but in reality, there's no such thing. So go and take that afternoon nap or go get ice cream :D

@jason_andries1 yes self reflection would indeed help us in making wise choices to stay on track!

Give yourself more credit than you usually do, you deserve it!

Sanjay Somashekar · Answer

@uma_venugopal this is super helpful, we have to learn to be normal than trying to be extraordinary. Things are going to fall in place as and when the time comes

Sanjay Somashekar · Answer
