 A new blog to contain answers to prompts |
Since my old blog "Everyday Canvas "  became overfilled, here's a new one. This new blog item will continue answering prompts, the same as the old one. Cool water cascading to low ground
To spread good will and hope all around.  |
| Prompt: How can you find relief when you're feeling overwhelmed? Write about this in your Blog entry today. --------- My first reaction to this prompt was: "Don't get overwhelmed!" Easier to say than do, right? Well, yours truly was overwhelmed last week over the most trivial thing, which its solution took four days. Granted, it was the last drop that caused the flood. So who am I to tell anyone what to do! I can tell you my immediate action, though. I put my mind into something totally different than the thing in question, even though its worry kept popping up. This happens to me, even when I am doing several different things at the same time. Come to think of it, maybe I should go the opposite way. Instead of forcing myself not to think about the main event that overwhelmed me, I could handle the problems differently by taking a deep breath and meeting the main problem head on. Trying different and unusual ways to solve some of the problems could have been another solution, too. Then, it might just have helped to write down all that overwhelmed me and to meet the main problem--I mean that last drop that caused the spill--head on. Also, maybe I could do something I really like, just to veer my mind to another direction. In my case, it's a word puzzle or anything to do with words, which I do often, anyway. Then, just suppose those things that overwhelmed me went on and on. It happens, and believe me, I can get overwhelmed over and over again. So, even if rarely, I ask for help with either the problems or my feelings about them. Then, if the problems and situations aren't something I can do anything about, I reevaluate the situation and let stuff be. Sometimes, things have a way of solving themselves; at other instances, with the passage of time, they are forgotten or minimized, and then at the end, that they even existed doesn't matter anymore. Still, I have to tell me and everyone else the same thing I wrote at the beginning of this entry: Just Don't Get Overwhelmed! |
