Feeling Overwhelmed by Constant Stress—How Do You Find Your Calm?

Lately, it feels like my brain is running a marathon without a finish line. Between work deadlines, family stuff, and trying to keep some semblance of a social life, I’ve been caught in this never-ending loop of stress and anxiety for the past couple of months. Some days, even simple tasks feel like climbing a mountain. I used to find relief in little things like a walk in the park or cooking a favorite meal, but now even those feel like chores. I’m hoping to hear how others have managed to slow down and find moments of peace when life feels so chaotic. Have you found any small habits or mindset shifts that genuinely make a difference? Or maybe there are ways to gently ease into self-care without it feeling like another item on the to-do list? Would love to know what’s worked for you and how you keep your spirits up when everything feels overwhelming.
