Delegate Responsibilities: Don't try to do everything on your own. Delegate tasks and responsibilities to other family members, including your children if they are old enough. Teaching kids to contribute to household chores not only lightens your load but also teaches them important life skills.

Seek Social Support: Connect with other moms and parents in your community or online who may be experiencing similar challenges. Sharing experiences and advice can be comforting and provide a sense of solidarity.

Time Management: Efficient time management can reduce stress. Use tools like to-do lists, time-blocking, and prioritization to ensure you allocate time to essential tasks and self-care.

Open Communication: Encourage open and honest communication with your family. Let them know how you're feeling and what kind of support you may need. This fosters a supportive family environment.

Limit Overcommitment: Be mindful of taking on too many responsibilities, whether at work or in your personal life. Learn to say no to additional commitments that may stretch you too thin.

Break Tasks into Smaller Steps: When faced with a BIG assignment or project, break it down into smaller, more manageable tasks. This can make the workload feel less overwhelming and help you stay on track (also don't keep it last minute)

Study Techniques: Explore effective study techniques, such as active learning, spaced repetition, and creating study schedules. These methods can help you retain information more efficiently and reduce test-related anxiety.

Stay Organized: Keep your study materials and living space organized. A clutter-free environment can contribute to a sense of control and reduce anxiety. If you have too much to do think about hiring a cleaning service, or give yourself a weekend clean inspo/amazon splurge.

Call home: No matter if you are abroad or in the same country as your family. Sometimes all you need to do is connect with family and feel that safe space. If family doesn't seem like home connect to friends that do.

Mindfulness and Relaxation Techniques: Practice mindfulness, meditation, deep breathing exercises, or progressive muscle relaxation to manage stress and anxiety. These techniques can help you stay grounded and reduce the physical symptoms of anxiety.

Unplug: Disconnect from work-related emails and tasks when you're off-duty. Set specific times when you check and respond to work messages to prevent constant interruptions.

Set Realistic Expectations: Understand that it's okay not to be perfect. Set realistic expectations for yourself in both your personal and professional life. Avoid comparing yourself to others (wish I could underline a million times), as this can contribute to anxiety.

Career Planning: Evaluate your career goals and aspirations. If you're feeling unfulfilled or overwhelmed at work, consider discussing potential changes with your family, friends or employer explore new opportunities, or seeking career coaching (that's me btw.)

Financial Planning: Financial stress can contribute to anxiety. Develop a budget, set financial goals, and seek advice from a financial advisor to help and also invest! Be saavy with your money and follow trends that increase your well being not decrease your bank account.

Regular Check-Ins: Periodically assess your well-being and make adjustments as needed. Self-reflection and self-awareness can help you identify areas where you need to focus more attention.
