Day 3: What To Do When I Feel Overwhelmed

•

Karen K. Ngo

It’s one of those weeks… The one where you have deadlines piling on top of each other, a dozen different people that you need to follow up with, oh, and that #100DayChallenge that you just started 🙃

Not sure what I’m talking about?

If you’re a student, think “exam season” aka midterms, papers, and assignments that are somehow all due within the same week… at my university, we called it “hell week” 😈

If you’re an accountant, think “tax season” aka working till 2 in the morning eating Chinese takeout and sipping red bull like it’s the nectar of the gods 💸

If you’re a parent, it’s basically whenever the kids are home 🤷🏻‍♀️ and trust me, I know the feeling of this because I used to be a Summer Camp Instructor aka 8 hours of rowdy, sneaky, adorable children who have the energy of a lightning bolt ⚡️ At least, I got to say peace out after 8 hours… I really don’t know how you all do it for the rest of the time 🤯

How do I cope?

Fortunately (or not), I’ve faced many of these frazzling moments in my 24 years of life… So far, I’ve found 3 effective solutions:

Netflix 🍿 I will watch 15 minutes of my latest muse (K-Drama, Crime Series, Mystery Thriller, etc…) and get some perspective. I’ll realize that my problems could be way worse, and I could be trapped in a parallel universe with a 3 day death sentence unless I compete and win in kill-or-be-killed games with other trapped souls (e.g. Alice in Borderland).

Pet My Dog 🐩 My 13 year old granny Maltipoo, Apple, is definitely my best friend. When I get too frustrated or stressed out, I allow myself 5 minutes of rubbing her belly or petting her butt. I tell her why I’m stressed and she looks at me wondering when I’ll feed her… It’s a symbiotic relationship. Google (and science) also states that petting your dog reduces stress = good for your heath = we all win here 🙌

Sushi & Bubble Tea 🍣 🧋 There have been several *cough* many times that I’ve indulged in these two vices daily… for 5 days in a row… Needless to say, delicious food & drink make me happy. I think I’ll start a t-shirt business with the mantra “Keep Calm & Eat Sushi” or “Keep Calm & Drink Bubble Tea” (in the meantime, you can check out @yeeet.hay for my food memories).

Quote of the Day

The struggle is guaranteed… the success is not.

Thanks for following my #100DayChallenge series… The goal is to blog everyday for 100 days in a row. Through this series, I hope to share more about my personal life to complement the career content that I usually create.

    I don’t think the title of your article matches the content lol. Just kidding, mainly because I had some doubts after reading the article.

    Thanks for giving your ideas with this blog. As well, a fairy tale regarding the lenders intentions whenever talking about foreclosure is that the loan company will not take my payments. There is a degree of time that the bank will require payments here and there. If you are far too deep within the hole, they will commonly require that you pay that payment 100 . However, that doesn’t mean that they will have any sort of payments at all. When you and the standard bank can have the ability to work a little something out, this foreclosure approach may end. However, if you continue to neglect payments within the new strategy, the foreclosed process can pick up from where it left off.

    Thanks for your tips. One thing I have noticed is always that banks plus financial institutions know the spending practices of consumers as well as understand that many people max away their cards around the getaways. They correctly take advantage of this specific fact and begin flooding the inbox as well as snail-mail box with hundreds of no-interest APR card offers just after the holiday season closes. Knowing that should you be like 98 of the American open public, you’ll soar at the possiblity to consolidate personal credit card debt and transfer balances to 0 APR credit cards.

    Thanks for your concepts. One thing really noticed is always that banks as well as financial institutions are aware of the spending behavior of consumers while also understand that the majority of people max out their own credit cards around the vacations. They smartly take advantage of this fact and then start flooding the inbox and snail-mail box having hundreds of Zero APR credit card offers shortly after the holiday season closes. Knowing that when you are like 98 of the American public, you’ll get at the possiblity to consolidate personal credit card debt and move balances to 0 rate credit cards.

    According to my observation, after a property foreclosure home is offered at a sale, it is common for any borrower in order to still have the remaining balance on the mortgage. There are many loan companies who make an effort to have all charges and liens paid off by the upcoming buyer. On the other hand, depending on specific programs, polices, and state legal guidelines there may be quite a few loans which are not easily sorted out through the switch of lending options. Therefore, the duty still remains on the customer that has obtained his or her property foreclosed on. Thank you for sharing your notions on this blog.
