Things can be overwhelming especially when there is a lot on our plate.  Sometimes having a friend, a buddy, or a ‘koach’ gets us past the feeling of overwhelm and allows us to move forward.  A poem:

I have so much to do

I don’t know where to start

My head swims, my thoughts are everywhere

The list is endless. Cross off one thing and add three more

I am torn in many directions

Constantly juggling balls one will soon fall on my head

I want to head back to bed

But the show must go on

 

Take a step back

Take a deep breath

Count to ten. And count again

Make a plan

One step at a time

Prioritize. Call in reinforcements. Breathe again

She comes with a smile

Guides me through

The clouds dissipate, the sun shines again

I can breathe. I can do this

I feel empowered

Items checked off the list

Serenity takes over

I can do this

 

Thanks for reading.  Wishing everyone a peaceful week.
