That Overwhelming Feeling.

Do you ever feel overwhelmed or are you even overwhelmed all the time and just don’t know the difference. Sometimes things just get too much and we don’t know where to start. That list of things to do just grows and you either just walk around with constant bits of paper or you end up staring into space not knowing where to start. How do we manage to get this point and how do we get out of it. The first part of the question is easy – boundaries – you clearly do not have them defined enough to what is going on in your life right now the second will only happen once you have done the first – usual story I know – boring but true.

There are obviously two kinds of overwhelming – the first the good kind when you are bowled over by someone’s kindness or your love for someone or something – that one is easy to deal with – accept it and enjoy every moment as those times are precious and life enhancing. The second kind is when everything gets just too much and you just don’t know how to deal with it all and the biggest trick is to acknowledge this first to yourself and sometimes this is a tough pill to swallow ( we are supposed to invisible right) and the once you have acknowledged this to yourself you need to tell someone else. You don’t need to have them find the answer and they need to be clear about this too you just need them to hear you. Once you have really been heard you will often find you find the right balance of getting through it yourself. After all the only person you really need to answer to or impress is you – so go on be overwhelmed you will be amazed at how empowering and healthy it really is and remember the harder you feel it the harder you bounce back with even more gusto than before.
