I get overwhelmed when I have a lot on, and that makes me procrastinate. I tell myself "just start" and even doing a bit of work for a few minutes gets me in the zone and makes me feel productive and like I can take things on.

Reassure them they have my support, encourage them to rest and take their time.

Well, this really depends on my state of mind. I have a bad habit of shutting myself off from others when things are going difficult for me, but I'm more willing to attend to / listen to a close friend in other times

When things are rough, it's really tempting to ruminate over the 1 thing that I worry about (and my mind is like a broken record)

When things aren't quite as difficult, there are times where I have a lot of positive self talk moments e.g. "you can do this"

So the state of my self-talk fluctuates a lot depending on how well things are going & whether there are uncertainties
