Feeling Overwhelmed? Here Are 5 Tips From a Life Coach

Most of us were looking forward to 2020 — it was going to be the start of a brand new decade! A nice, clean fresh slate!

Then, COVID-19 happened.

It's definitely a lot to deal with — and if you're feeling shaken up by it all, you're definitely not alone. We spoke to Cator Sparks, a CTI trained life coach based in Charleston, South Carolina. He works with clients around the country using platforms like FaceTime, Skype, and Zoom.

"It's important to stay present," says Sparks. "The feeling of being overwhelmed focuses on the 'what ifs' of the future. How much longer is this going to last? When will my kids get back to school? When can I see my parents again? Staying present is so important at times like these, because there are so many questions we can't answer. This is an entirely new experience we are going through."
