How emotional overload quietly kills focus and drive

There are days when you sit down to work, study, or even do something you once enjoyed—and your mind simply won’t cooperate. You’re not lazy. You’re not unmotivated in the way people usually mean it. You want to focus. You want to move forward. But everything feels heavier than it should.This is often the result of emotional overload.Emotional overload doesn’t announce itself loudly. It builds quietly through unresolved feelings, constant mental noise, unprocessed stress, and the pressure to keep functioning as if nothing is wrong. Over time, this inner weight begins to affect how you think, how you decide, and how much energy you have for even small tasks.When emotions pile up without space to be felt or released, focus becomes fragile and motivation starts to fade—not because you don’t care, but because your inner system is already doing too much work just to cope.What emotional overload really meansEmotional overload happens when your emotional capacity is exceeded for a prolonged period. It’s not just about one bad day or a stressful week. It’s about carrying too many feelings—worry, sadness, frustration, disappointment, guilt—without enough time, support, or safety to process them.This can happen during major life changes, ongoing uncertainty, relationship strain,…  ​Read More​YourStory RSS Feed

Inside a Shahjahanpur’s small garment workshop built on family skill

In the Nigohi Road area of Shahjahanpur district, Shubham Gangwar runs a modest stitching unit from his own house. The business focuses on garment stitching work linked to women’s apparel, taking on outsourced orders rather than selling finished products directly in the local market.The unit handles components of ladies’ garments such as kurtas, tops and skirts, completing tasks like side stitching, collars, bottoms and finishing. The work is done on a job-work basis for outside companies, with full pieces assembled at the unit before being dispatched.Learning the craft at homeGangwar’s entry into stitching was gradual and rooted in his family background.

The family has been engaged in similar work for generations, which meant the skill was familiar long before it became a business plan.He spent several years practising and understanding the workflow before deciding to set up his own unit. While the formal setup began recently, he says he has been involved in stitching work for three to four years, learning how to manage quality, timelines and coordination.Setting up the unitThe…  ​Read More​YourStory RSS Feed

How an interest in beauty work grew into livelihood in Lalitpur...

Shraddha, a resident of Lalitpur district, runs a small beauty parlour that caters mainly to women in and around her locality. She offers routine services such as threading, facials, waxing and hair care, along with bridal makeup and outfit coordination during the wedding season. What began as informal, home-based work has gradually taken the shape of a fixed setup where clients now come in regularly.For Shraddha, the choice of work was guided less by market calculations and more by familiarity and interest. She had seen beauty work up close through family members and friends, and found that the line suited her skills and circumstances. The work allowed her to operate close to home, manage household responsibilities, and build relationships with a largely local, women-only client base.Early interest and slow beginningsShraddha completed her postgraduate studies but did not have a clear professional plan. On the other hand, exposure to the beauty industry came early, through a friend who had built a long-running career in the field and through small amounts of work happening within her extended family. After getting married, she received steady encouragement from her husband to take the work more seriously.In the early years, there was no shop. Instead, she visited clients’…  ​Read More​YourStory RSS Feed
