1. Take a moment to recognize your feelings and know it is normal to feel overwhelmed in a new job.
2. Make sure to prioritize tasks, break down assignments into more manageable chunks and don't be afraid to ask for help if needed.
3. Schedule regular time for yourself. This can include self-care activities like going for a walk, meditating, or simply taking a break from work to get a snack.
4. Reach out to colleagues either in the same role or an experienced mentor to get advice and build a support system.
5. Don't forget to celebrate your successes - no matter how small - and practice positive self-talk.
