Feeling Overwhelmed? Try These Three Things

 Good morning wonderful, amazing, sweet and lovely people. How are you all doing today? I hope you're having an amazing day and are not letting anyone or thing steal your joy. Welcome to Maryam's Joyful Life. Today is a beautiful day! Thank you all for joining me.

So today, I want to give you 3 things to help you when you're feeling overwhelmed. See, I know and understand what being overwhelmed feels like. I am very active and busy and I live life, I mean I live it to the full each and everyday. I get myself involved in projects and create my own projects. So, I get it if you're feeling overwhelmed right now. I'd like to share 3 things with you today that help me transmute that feeling into a feeling of joy and gratitude.

1. Break down the condition or thing into smaller parts. I look at the situation or thing that is getting me overwhelmed. I break it down into simple doses that I can handle during the day. For instance, if I have overcommitted myself and my day seems to be a rush from one thing to the other, I stop, take a look at my schedule and choose the important ones to be done and break them down into parts, grouping them according to priority. There's that one thing that has to be done now, I do it and then give myself time to rest before moving unto the next. Organize your tasks into simple actions. When you do this, you'll start feeling better. 

2. Abandon everything and go for a walk. So, there are times when you feel so overwhelmed that it begins to feel like you're being strangled by your tasks. When you start feeling this way, step back. Go out for a walk in nature or around the block. Don't think about the tasks to be done. Just walk and focus on your breathing. You'll notice that as you walk and breathe, you start feeling better. This works all the time.

3. Gratitude Rampage: whenever you start feeling overwhelmed. Take a moment to give thanks that you have things to do. Start counting your blessings. Look around you and see the people and things you're grateful for and start giving thanks for the blessings in your life. There are so many people in the world who wish they had something to do. Some wish they could have tasks to get to but don't have any or can't put the courage together to go for it. But here you are, going after your dreams and working at it. See it as a blessing and I promise you, you'll make your day better.

I hope these steps inspired you today. Keep dreaming and keep doing for your dreams will be expressed as your reality in no time.

With gratitude and love,

Maryam
