OVERWHELMED? quotes


Overwhelmed?


"Life does not happen to us, it happens from us."

-- Mike Wickett
 

Are you easily overwhelmed? If so, answer this question in your journal:

While growing up, what did you experience too much of?

Experiencing too much of something leads to feelings of overwhelm. When were young, overwhelm can lead us to believe that we are not capable or that we are not good enough. These are power issues.


Awareness of when we are feeling overwhelmed can help us go inside, claim our power and change our experience of any situation.


"When we know that the cause of something is in ourselves, and that we (ourselves) are one of the few things in the universe that we have the right and ability to change, we begin to get a sense of the choices we really do have, an inkling of the power we have, a feeling of being in charge... of our lives, of our future, of our dreams."


-- John-Roger and Peter McWilliams


"Be thine own palace, or the worlds thy jail."


-- John Donne

Hope this helps...love you all so much,

Your eternal friend,
