I’ve started working on narrowing down what I want to do at the moment to help put me in a more feasible position to do those things. I have so many thing in life I want to do, but not enough time. And so I have split them into “Now”, “Small Prioroty Now” and “Can Wait”. Though I still feel like doing everything at once, starting to narrow my hobbies down like this has helped remind me that, though I don’t have time for them now, there will be time for them later.
I think some of the trauma and anxiety still makes me feel like there isn’t a later and that everything needs to be done before I’m moved again, but it’s not like that anymore. Sure, it would be nice if I could do all those things, but I need to look at it realistically.
And this epiphany didn’t come from myself, it was my partner who suggested sorting things that way after I admitted how overwhelmed I was in trying to do everything. So, if you feel overwhelmed, vent to someone close to you, because, if not just for the outlet and support, something they say might help shift your perspective.
