When feeling overwhelmed, take action

Last week it was loneliness, this week I am feeling overwhelmed by life. There is so much suffering around me - good people struggling through no fault of their own. I realize their experiences are opportunities for soul growth but it is still hard to watch. All I can do is send a card offering them practical support, and pray.

I feel overwhelmed by my own life too: gloomy weather, new puppy, sick child, long list of jobs. Yesterday that overwhelmed feeling bordered on depression so I forced myself to get moving and complete several unfinished tasks. Afterwards I felt refreshed; taking action always works for me. I wish you well with tackling your tasks....
