Overwhelmed
OVERWHELMED , This is a very interesting word!!
Who reading this blog ever feels Overwhelmed? This girl sure does...
How did we get Overwhelmed? Why are we Overwhelmed? What can we do to get over this feeling.
Well here is what I recently discovered, its a mind game just like every other situation in life. It is a choice. We can choose be overwhelmed by responsibilities at school, at home, at work, or in a life situation. You name it, we use the word overwhelmed a lot to describe our life and when we feel we are full to the top..
The actual definition of Overwhelmed is: bury or drown beneath a huge mass, defeat completely.
It is really up to us to choose what we want to do and how we plan our time so we are not overwhelmed. When we are overwhelmed we tend to get emotional, after all we are human and this is our nature. But maybe there are some things and steps we can take and think about that will ease this feeling of being overwhelmed.
1.If you are anxious, take a step back and breath and try to look at the present situation.
Most of the time when we are anxious we are looking to much in the future without a plan or a goal. Or perhaps we are living in the past and focusing on something we can not longer change or fix.
2. If you are angry, take a step back and breath and try to look at why you are in the present situation.
Most of the time when anger is present, it is because we do not understand a person or the situation. This is feeling most of the time leads us to do things we regret, so walk away. Think about it and return to the situation with questions as to why and maybe a strategic plan to talk it out with the other person.
3.If you feel confused, take a step back and breath and relax then do the research to gain knowledge of your present situation
What does that mean? Ask the questions from a person who has the knowledge, read a book, invest in yourself so you can make yourself aware why you are confused.
Notice every solution starts with "Take a step back and breath" Then look at your present situation.
The message here is to live in the present because this is where you will grow and achieve. The feelings of being overwhelmed will go away and you will grow and evolve into the person you desire to be.
Note you can be overwhelmed in a positive way as well, this is also living in the present and often describes a feeling of joy.
* He proposed to me and I was overwhelmed with happiness.
* I thanked God for his blessings and felt overwhelmed with his presence.
* I passed my driving test and I was overwhelmed with excitement.
* My daughter graduated with her Bachelor's degree and I was overwhelmed with pride.
* My son bought me new floors and I was overwhelmed with gratitude.
Hope this helps you take a deep breath and enjoy your life.
Yoga has really helped me in this area.
