The ONE next thing...
Feeling overwhelmed is consistent with being human.
Long periods of feeling overwhelmed is consistent with unhelpful stress in our body, mind and brain.
The purpose of our right and left hemisphere of our brain can help us out with the overwhelm. When things are overwhelming, the left hemisphere excels at structure, sequence, this-than-that kind of thinking.
Given the circumstances, what is one task that you might act on right now?
Suspend the rest of the overwhelm until that one task is executed. This calms the stress hormones as it communicates that you are controlling your thoughts instead of your thoughts controlling you.
Lead yourself well
