The Z to A of Life

Join Jules and Mark in this latest episode and discover what overwhelm is and, more importantly, how you can recognise and reduce it.

We all get overwhelmed at certain points in our lives. You could be a student with a busy study schedule leading up to exams or maybe an adult trying to juggle work, family and life pressures. Sometimes it can all get a little too much.

Think of overwhelm as a glass of water. Once the glass is full, it's impossible to pour any more liquid into it and it's going to overflow. Every drop of water could be a task, a pressure or a commitment in your life and, one more of these could cause you to overflow. Let's explore ways to reduce the stresses of life and live each day on a calmer basis.
