Life doesn’t come with a pause button and sometimes, everything piles up. Whether it’s work, health, family, or emotions, feeling overwhelmed is exhausting. How do you cope when everything hits at once? I try to simplify and focus on just one small thing. Sometimes even just cleaning a table helps me feel less out of control.

For others, it might be eating slowly, breathing deeply, or simply noticing what's around them without judgment. Practicing mindfulness regularly can reduce stress, ease anxiety, and improve your overall emotional wellbeing. But with so much noise and distraction in life, it isn’t always easy. So how do YOU make mindfulness a part of your daily routine?

Do you feel invisible even around people? I certainly do.

Losing someone suddenly vs. slowly. what’s harder? For me I think it's both. I lost my mum, MIL and brother all suddenly and my younger brother died of kidney failure at the age of 15. even though my brothers died years ago, it still affects me to this day. My MIL was recent, and my own mum died very suddenly.
