Yeah, we are teenagers in 2025. People expect a lot from us. I guess I’ve been working a lot on setting boundaries and not putting too much on my plate but it’s hard when society tells us we need to do more all the time so we can get into good colleges and get good jobs and everything. I guess we have to remember that we’re still just kids.
I definitely feel the same way! I think what's been working well for me recently is just starting (I know it sounds cliche) habits of mindfulness, through everyday things like exercising or journaling. Slowing down your entire life isn't going to be helpful, like you said, because that just leads to more stress, but taking time on something small, like making fresh espresso or cookies or something, even if you think you don't have time, can really help help take stress away in a moment, which is going to make you more productive both in that situation and in the long term.
