Steps to prevent feeling overwhelmed

Avoid feeling overwhelmed


Living in a microwave society, we have adopted a bad habit of impatience. We want things to happen now. We don’t take the time to nurture our tasks. We drown it in water, and hope for it to survive. When we take on these tasks and try to expedite, it gives birth to feeling overwhelmed. When we feel overwhelmed, we give up. Here are some tips on preventing this unfortunate disease.


  1. Breathe and pray! Talk to God. Ask him to show you the best possible way to start a new task. Ask for patience and guidance throughout the WHOLE process.
  2. Write down your plan! Do you know that when you write down your plan, it’s like seeing it manifest before your eyes? It’s the faith that gives us the power to move forward.
  3. Organize your steps, place them in order, and make sure you include a plan B. I drive my husband crazy but I always make sure we plan for a ‘what if’ situation. That prevents any disappointment and irritation which might throw you off your game, and cause you to scrap the whole thing.
  4. Know YOUR worth! Have faith and confidence that you can accomplish this goal by accepting your limits. Make these achievable tasks, not something you WISH you could have the capability of doing.
  5. With that organized list, check off the items you have accomplished. This will give you peace because you know you are being productive, and moving forward.
  6. Don’t hesitate to ask for help or seek guidance. There are so many tools out there that can be of help. @Google is our best friend! I can’t even imagine the days without internet. When you would have to drive to the library or have to reference to an encyclopedia for everything. Knowledge is literally at your fingertips.
  7. Procrastination is a killer! Do not put things off because of bad habit. Life happens and things can get derailed. That’s why that Plan B can be of help. Please, whatever you do, don’t put it off. You will look back at how much time you wasted, and realize how much further you could have been. Which in return, will cause frustration, and calling the whole thing off.


Where these steps helpful? What things do you think I could have added?

Fun and SAFE indoor activities for KIDS.

  Fubbles- this spill proof container makes it easy for kids to blow bubbles without any worries of spilling. This is a must have for us, since our entire downstairs is tile. I would hate for her to spill and slip. Cocomelon or Farmees- my kids love to sing and dance. You can access these two nursery rhymes and kid friendly music free on youtube, itunes, and even Alexa. Flash cards- shapes, numbers, letters, and objects are fun and also very educational for little ones. If they don’t seem interested, just add some music and make up a song while having them guess whats on the card. Besides the obvious toys, having a box of dress up clothes is always fun, especially for little girls. I passed my dress up clothes down to my daughter, so she will be able to enjoy: Ariel from The Little Mermaid, Princess Jasmine, Belle from Beauty and the Beast and many more. Alphabet fun- you can actually put all those fun foam alphabet letters kids use in the bathtub by adding a tiny bit of water into...

Fresno Chaffee Zoo Trip: Mom Group Edition

  Being a stay at home mom during the week, and career mom on the weekends, its imperative that you keep a strong social life. 98% of my friends hold full time jobs. During the week, I found myself very lonely. I missed my social life with adults, but also the interaction Jaida and Jaxon gets with other kids was so priceless.  Since I had Jaida, I always wanted to start a mom group, but would never put any effort in starting one. Since my absence from social media, my time has been productive and I focused my attention on just that...a social LIFE in person..instead of digitally.  With prayer, I jumped right in! I came across some AMAZING moms with the same vision and desire..and we made it happen. We are just one week in, and we have already planned and attended park and zoo dates. I’m so excited to see what the future holds for our little group. The most rewarding is seeing our children having a blast playing with each other. With 2020 being such a crazy year with disco...

Solitude and Silence

  “Very early in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house and went off to a solitary place, where he prayed." ...  Mark 1:35 There are countless scriptures depicting Jesus being in solitude while speaking with God. There is something about solitude and silence that will put you in a place of peace. Letting away with all distractions, you are able to give your all to God. I challenge anyone reading this to find that one special place in your home, and spend at-least 20 minutes a day speaking to God alone with no distractions. Even if you have to lock your self in the bathroom and sit on the toilet. And when you take time to speak to God, don’t dump all your problems on him. Yes, I admit there may be times you feel the need. But just thanking him for everything he has done and will do in the future.  👏🏾👏🏾
