Overwhelmed

Oct 06, 2010 11:51

Okay, I think I need to take a step back and review everything that's happening in my life right now. Everything seems to be shifting into and out of their places in such a way that I don't know whether things are in place, or displaced. Did that make sense?

I don't know what to throw and what to keep. Or I do, but all this clutter in my life is suffocating me.

But underneath all the mess, I know that there's some level of lucidity! At least, I hope so. No, I know so. It's just that there are moments when I'm carried away by all these opportunities and invitations and offers and new, crazy, fun ideas and adventures!!

I can start by learning how to say "no" again. No, no, I should start with reevaluating my list of priorities. First, I prioritize my self. My health, my body, my sleep, my rest, my food. And, of course, my spirit. My faith.

But after that?

Family, friends, career? Relationships come first, right? Family first, right? But I'm 21 and this is my time to ween myself from family, right? And I should be focusing on my career, right? But what is a life of success without friends and family by your side, right?

No, no, I've got this all wrong. There's a balance to everything. There's a time and place for everything. And... everyone?

Learn how to say "no." Give your heart a break. Be loved. Recharge. Hug a tree. Hide under your sheets and pray, then take a nap, then snack on some cereal. Let things fall into place. Let it be. Breathe a little. Enjoy.
