Feeling overwhelmed?

(2 minute read time)

Have you ever felt overwhelmed, frustrated, annoyed, irritated and thrown your hands up and thought or said “Why me???”

Why do I have to experience this hardship, this difficulty?  Don’t I have enough going on?? Now I have to deal with THIS too??  

Sometimes, it just all feels like too much.  

I have found in those moments it is easy to wallow in the muck and mire.  I can find lots of evidence for why it should not be the way it is.

But, when I do that all I am doing is arguing with reality.  Byron Katie says “When I argue with reality, I lose – but only 100% of the time.”

My track record, and yours, for surviving the bad days and the tough times is literally perfect.  You are here, reading this. That means you survived every single day prior to this one.

Of course it’s you who gets to take on the challenges of your day.  You are the one who can do something about them. And it starts with believing, really believing, you can.

Feeling overwhelmed (or any other emotion) comes from our thoughts. Take a few moments to explore what you are thinking and it will become very obvious, very quickly why you are feeling overwhelmed.

So today, consider the challenges you are up against and instead of asking “Why me?” ask yourself “Why NOT me?”.  

Sometimes we have a hard time seeing how we are uniquely wired to address the challenges we face, we struggle to see the good in ourselves.  If that’s you, I can help. Click here to schedule a free 30-minute coaching session with me.
