The feeling of fullness and that cannot take anymore; is my definition of being overwhelmed. But here the fullness is not of your stomach but rather your brain or mind, whatever you call that. It can be that heaviness you feel in head or your chest or the throat.
It’s as though you know you just can’t anymore. Neither can you take any more advice or any other information. You feel there is so much to be accomplished and you haven’t done it yet. Basically you just realize everything is a mess.
It keeps happening to me after every few days. I try various ways to get rid of it or at least minimize the intensity. At times I meditate, go for a walk, do some exercise, try to write down what I feel (as I am currently doing); but something that helps most of the times is going through some stuff and decluttering. I just get rid of excess. Though it’s a physical action but it makes my brain feel as though I have taken control and emptied my cup a little bit.
I thought that living a more organized life will help me get rid of this feeling but it just makes me feel more overwhelmed as I am not able to achieve this goal of being organized. It gives me more mental stress that I am not able to accomplish it.
May be simplifying the life can help it. Simplifying it at various levels, both physically and mentally. The possessions as well as thoughts and relationships. We need to identify what is truly important. What truly needs to stay and what we should let go of.
And it’s a continuous journey and not a destination.
And now I cannot even complete this article, because of course I feel overwhelmed.
