Sometimes (a lot of times), I wake up and immediately start scrolling on my phone. Or I feel a rush of panic and anxiety. Or I start going through my to-do list for the day. Or I wake up from my alarm feeling disoriented and off. Sometimes, I just wake up and I am instantly overwhelmed for no reason at all. So what do we do when we feel this way? What do we do when the morning routine and all the self-care doesn’t have the impact we want? What do we do when we are overwhelmed by all of it?

Managing Fluctuating Emotions During Quarantine

This past week has felt like a struggle. My emotions have been all over the place. My energy has been lower than usual and my motivation to do anything goes along with that. My joy for the little things has been fleeting. It’s been a difficult week to say the least. I try really hard to stay optimistic about everything and I truly do enjoy being a homebody with fewer obligations and lots more time for self-care. But I would be lying if I said this whole thing was easy. I have my moments, and sometimes those moments can feel really overwhelming.
