Sometimes we may feel like there is just too much we need to do. When we feel overwhelmed, we may think that 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.
When you feel overwhelmed, the best place to start is with 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 its 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. Next, take another breath, and determine the true importance of what remains on the list. 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 your priorities. Keeping 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.
