It’s easy to feel overwhelmed. Getting to that place is oftentimes a result of our own choices. If you feel overwhelmed by the state of the world or the country, you might check the level of your consumption.

  • How much news do you watch?
  • How many hours do you spend scrolling on social media?
  • How much time do you spend focused on what’s wrong?

What we choose to consume influences how we feel. Too much negativity, chaos, tragedy, hatred…well, it all feels overwhelming. Maybe a little less of all of the above helps us stay on a more even keel. Keeps us in touch with the moment. More at ease.

If you feel overwhelmed by your life you might check in with yourself this way.

  • How often do I leave a little space in my day for me?
  • How much time do I dedicate to meditation or quiet time?
  • How often am I grateful for the moment?

Making conscious decisions about how you care for yourself helps soothe the tension. You deserve to feel at ease. You can get yourself there.

The world can feel overwhelming. Life can feel overwhelming. And we are wise to remember we can make choices, conscious choices, to bring ourself into ease.

Grateful
