Let It Go!
Do you ever find that your brain and emotions are on overload? That’s what I’m feeling today. There are dozens of thoughts fighting for priority. Unfortunately, at least for me, when things are like this, I can’t seem to focus on a single thought for long. This bleeds over into my daily activities, too. On these days, I struggle to complete simple tasks because my mind wanders and I end up bouncing from one to the next without finishing anything. Of course, not being able to fulfill my to do list just adds another concern to the swirling mire in my mind.
I’m curious how others handle these situations. After much practice, I’ve reached the conclusion that the “Let It Go” strategy is my best defense. The first thing I have to let go is the idea that all of my to do list must be completed. Once I can set that aside, I move on to sorting through the range of emotions and concerns that are plaguing me. Then, it becomes a matter of prioritizing them. In most cases, some of them are out of my control. Those, too, get dumped into the “Let It Go” category. Once that’s done, I can begin to address the rest. Does this make it easier? To a degree. It doesn’t get rid of the thoughts and emotions, but it makes them easier to bear.
If you find yourself in a situation where something(s) seem to be overwhelming, try it out. Hopefully you’ll be able to “Let It Go” and feel better, too. (It’s ok if you want to hum the Disney diddy as you go. That might make you feel better too!)
