Rays last blog post..New & Exciting Updates

I do feel overwhelmed at times, and it’s interesting to think that if I can break things down a little, they would feel more doable. My mom told me once, that when she brought me home from the hospital (I’m her firstborn), she was overwhelmed at the thought that she now has to actually RAISE a human being.

But then I started crying and needed a feeding and a diaper change, and when she concentrated on that, it all seemed quite doable, and the raising-a-human-being part still happened, even if she stopped thinking about it this way.

After thinking about it perhaps you are right. Perhaps I’m not feeling overwhelm at all in these cases but instead some kind of regret for making poor choices.
The antidote then of course is gratitude.

@Tom – Hey good to have you drop by. I’d love to hear more about your circumstances. I’m racking my brain for any other reason for overwhelm and can’t come up with anything that doesn’t fit into either one of those categories.

“Most people, and I do stress MOST, feel overwhelmed because they see the big picture and simply do not know where to start. There are exceptions to this. A few people get overwhelmed because they can only focus on the small stuff and can’t ever imagine getting to the bigger picture. Ask yourself which group you fall into?”

I do think that there are more groups than these two. I couldn’t place myself in either.
