Humans are social creatures, and many of us find comfort in staying connected. When we are deprived of these deep social connections, we have a tendency to feel lonely or isolated. The longer this isolation and loneliness last, the higher our risk is for mental, emotional, and physical problems. Typically, loneliness is a signal to a depressive episode and is seen as an individual problem treated with things like exposure therapy. Now, isolation is a lot more nuanced. Because we are social distancing due to a global pandemic, “treating” loneliness and isolation behaviors takes a little more creativity.
Isolation makes you think that you are the only one, and you’re the only one who’s feeling alone and that’s not true. This is NOT a normal situation, and you’re already handling it – however that looks like for you. As this pandemic continues, we want to give you a few tools for coping with these hard feelings, because you really are not alone in this.
Have you ever felt the stress of “everything is important and it has to be done now… but I can’t do it all” I often work with high achieving individuals who struggle with how to juggle it all. We all have been there, we feel divided between our many roles and split between the responsibilities that are pulling us in different directions. Trying to be a superhero and do it all can easily become overwhelming and exhausting. When everything feels important it can be hard to find an effective way to prioritize. In this blog I share some tips and tricks to help you prioritize when everything is a priority.
