This post is simply…
a breather. We all have those days where all a person can do is survive. What is that saying? When you are feeling overwhelmed, do nothing? Yes, that’s it.
Can you really do nothing? Isn’t doing nothing doing something? This is what doing nothing means to me:
Taking a nap.
Sitting in a comfortable chair, indoors or outdoors, closing your eyes, and listening to the sounds around you.
Laying on the couch and watching TV.
Reading a book.
Going for a walk.
Staring at the sky.
In other words, not thinking. Just being, feeling, experiencing. And when you’re ready returning to your life.
Remember, your life is just the story you are telling yourself. There are time and space between the chapters, between the lines.
Take time to stop, look around, is everything being told as it is? Or are you telling yourself a story that doesn’t exist? Tear out some pages, add some new chapters.
When you find yourself overwhelmed it’s because there may be too many characters, too much plot not enough twist, in your story.
Simplify.
“Our civilization cannot survive materially unless it be redeemed spiritually.”
Woodrow Wilson
