Be Yourself

Overwhelm

Probably the most common feeling I see in my coaching practice is overwhelm.

We almost constantly face decisions, fears, doubts, anger, interference, distractions, aggravations.....

Some clients are helped by prioritizing. (First Things First!)

Others need to take fast action, so they feel in control. (Lord grant me...the courage to change the things I can...)

When the quality and quantity of the issues you are dealing with become paralyzing, are you willing to take the time to prioritize? Ask yourself, "What really matters? And for how long?"

Are you ready to take on the parts of the issue you can control? Will you make a plan? And remember, you can not control another person.

Can you accept the things you cannot control? Can you be flexible? Can you trust? Can you give yourself the gift of releasing unnecessary burdens?

I think you can.
