When Overwhelmed by Tasks and Problems in Life
When things seem to go out of hand, and you are rattled by the overwhelming tasks, concerns, responsibilities, and demands of people in your life, take the time to pause, then breathe in and breathe out deeply. Then, start praying to God. Worrying won't do you any thing good and won't help in getting any thing done.
Plan out your life and take action as planned. It is imperative that you plan so that you may see the big picture and ensure that no one among those you love and nothing important is neglected.
Cut off some tasks and responsibilities. For the moment, don't add up into your life any thing that would require you your commitment. Keep distance from people who constantly reject you and hurt you. Free yourself from things and bad habits which cause you unnecessary pressures like not having enough sleep, vices that destroy your health, and unimportant things that eat up your valuable time. Make sure that the tools you use are in good condition and function well to ensure high quality of work and at the same time, save resources and valuable time.
Check your priorities and focus on one important thing at a time. You get rattled and worried when while doing one important thing, your mind is thinking about another. Don't allow yourself to be distracted. Distractions lead to destructions. So brace yourself in the NOW, in what you are currently doing. Put in mind that consistency and discipline are both needed in reaching any goal you have set. Do a little for every important thing everyday. What's not done little by little, will be lethal by lethal.
Speak to your mountains. No mountain is immovable with someone who is determined, puts up a good plan and strategizes, and takes bold and massive actions.
Don't complain. Keep your mouth shut. Arms, legs, and mind should be the ones to be busy; not your tounge. Discipline your mouth to not say any thing bad or negative. God has already made a way for you even before you have prayed. Instead of worrying, start trusting Him.
Soar high, beautiful Eagle! Soar high!
