Overwhelmed

     Too much, too soon, too unpleasant, being overwhelmed happens to everyone now and then.  If you are breathing, you are surviving.  If you are getting nourishment, rest, and sleep, you will make it through.
     Change your perspective of time: think about today, tomorrow, next week, next month, and next year.  This too shall pass.  Change your perspective of location: have a change of scene, take a walk, breathe in some fresh air and observe nature and everything around you.  Do something you enjoy; have some fun.
     Make a plan, get organized, take one step at a time, one day at a time.  Erase the unimportant from your to-do list.  Do only what is absolutely necessary.  Share your stress, tell somebody, ask for and accept help.
     Reduce negativity.  Be grateful and accentuate the positive.  Write down your thoughts, worries, and plans.  Build up your strength and have confidence that you can do whatever it takes to overcome your problems and get past feeling overwhelmed.
