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?

Ambition and Productivity Killer

  How many of you thought of an incredible idea or had an opportunity at the tip of your fingers, but didn’t proceed because of self doubt or distractions?  My BIGGEST productivity killer is distractions. I’m a ‘dot my I’s and cross my T’s...’ kinda gal, and I can become easily distracted by my drive. If I’m browsing something, I want to know all the details. I like to know how things work, and I’m an extreme problem solver. This can easily distract you in our digital world. These aren’t bad traits. These just can be the result of time wasted scrolling on a newsfeed on social media that can bring absolutely nothing of value to your life.  With my time permanently off of social media, I’ve been connecting deeply with friends that I haven’t talked to in months. I’m more attentive to my kids and focused on being in the moment. I’ve placed my phone down without any anxiety about missing out on information from social media because the people I care most about I’m reaching out...

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...

Mom-son Bond

  Let me first start out saying that I love my kids equally the same. There is no favoritism in the Thomas household. I don’t know what it is, I can’t explain it. The bond between mother and son is unexplainable. Ok, it doesn’t help with him being the baby in the family, but this kid can get away with anything. All he has to do is give me this look and I melt. My daughter on the other hand, she is ME! So I know exactly what’s going through her mind, and that’s why I don’t cave in as easily like I do with Jax. Maybe it’s because everything is a mystery and there is curiosity with him. I’ll never know the mindset of a boy, so everything is new and a discovery. They have a different thought process and they rationalize things differently as well. Whatever it is, I embrace it and I now understand what mom’s say about the bond between mother and son.
