Have u ever felt overwhelmed u start to feel some or a lot of anxiety? So much going on at home, getting kids to sporting events, doing laundry for your spouse’s meeting, running to the store to get dinner, having to plan your own meeting for work, etc,  then to top it off, you find out a family member has cancer… So many aspects can impact how we feel anxious or overwhelmed or not at all. A little anxiety can be okay because it can help us do what we need to do or to stay away from something that might harm us. It’s when anxiety gets in our way or prevents us from doing things it shouldn’t prevent us from doing that it becomes a problem. I had a discussion with someone recently and this person made a statement that they can’t even watch the news anymore because they are already so overwhelmed with what is going on in their life that they can’t handle anything that is discussed on the news. And they have plenty going on right now to feel overwhelmed, but this is someone I consider to be extremely well-functioning. Suffice it to say that anyone can be or feel overwhelmed, even me! It does happen. And it doesn’t have to actually be true, one just has to perceive anxiety or feeling overwhelmed for it to have an effect on them. Again, like depression, anxiety, or feelings of being overwhelmed can simply be the symptoms of something else going on. What matters is whether in those moments stated above (getting everything done, hearing about loved ones with terminal illness, etc), we can still feel peace, even in those trying times. I want you to feel peace in every moment in your life, not only the up times, or the good times, but even in the hard times. And it is possible to feel peace in those moments!
