Sometimes we may feel like there is just too much we need to do.
Feeling overwhelmed may make it seem like the universe is picking on us, but
the opposite is true: we are only given what we can handle. Difficult
situations are opportunities to be our best selves, hone our skills and rise
to the occasion.
The best place to start is to take a deep breath. As you do, remind yourself
that the universe works in perfect order and therefore you can get everything
done that needs to get done. As you exhale, release all the details that you
have no control over. The universe with it's infinite organizing power will
orchestrate the right outcome. Anytime stress begins to creep up, remember to
breathe through it with these thoughts.
Then, make a list of everything you need to do. Note what needs to be done
first, and mark the things others may be able to do for you or with you.
Though we often think no one else can do it correctly or well, there are
times when it is worth it to exhale, let go of our control, and ask for help
from professionals or friends. With the remaining things that feel you must
do yourself, take another breath and determine their true importance.
Sometimes they are things we'd like to do, but aren't really necessary. After
taking these quick steps, you will find you have a plan laid out, freeing you
from frenzied thoughts circling in your head. With calming deep breaths, you
are now free to focus more fully on our priorities. Herbal teas or flower
remedies along with wise choices about caffeine and food can help keep us
from becoming frantic too. But with nothing further from us than our breath,
we can breathe in our best intentions and let the rest go with an exhale.
Keeping ourselves centered and breathing into and through life's challenges
helps us learn what we are truly capable of doing, and we will find we have
the ability to rise to any occasion. Remember you aren't being picked
on, and you are never alone.
