Chronically overwhelmed

How do you guys deal with the intense feeling of wanting to do 500 things and the same time, while also worrying about not doing those things? Feels like I’m running a marathon with people on the sideline needing CPR but running past them because you don’t know which one to save .

Try to think of something that you are grateful for. Stay in that feeling for a moment. Calms the mind and creates perspective ❤️

I think we need to give ourselves grace. In this analogy, we trust that the other people on the sidelines called 911 and will take care of those people. We control what we can.

I hear you, my friend, feeling overwhelmed with tasks so severe. It's like a marathon with people in need of CPR, oh dear! But let me remind you, life is supposed to be fun and bright. We take it too seriously, forgetting to enjoy it with all our might. We race around like headless chickens, overwhelmed and frazzled. Forgetting to stop and smell the roses, and to just be dazzled. Let us dance like nobody's watching and sing like we're alone. For life is just a game, so let's make it a joyous tone. So let us learn to lighten up and let go of the stress. And embrace the silly, the whimsical, and the absurdness. For in the end, it's not about how much we've done. But the love and laughter shared, and the memories we've spun.
