We all experience painful emotions at times in our lives. Sometimes they are so intense that we think we will never get over them. Emotions such as worry, anxiety, fear, pain, anger, disappointment, despair, guilt, inadequacy, overload, loneliness.

Emotions that most people try to avoid. But at what cost..

In order not to feel inadequacy, we may never try to achieve something great. Thus we condemn ourselves to never feel the satisfaction, the joy of creation and achievement.

In order not to experience rejection and the pain that may be associated with it, we may not feel the love and affection with the person we would like.

So by avoiding experiencing painful emotions, we avoid experiencing their opposite, wonderful emotions.

If these painful emotions arise, some people tolerate them or, worse, deny that they feel them. Some may even use them to show how bad or difficult they are going through.

However, none of the above behaviors and ways of managing these emotions bring the desired result, which is none other than to feel better or change our emotional state.

The source of our emotions is ourselves. We create emotions within ourselves and what we feel at any given moment of our lives depends on the meaning we give to an experience we are experiencing. And how we reproduce this experience in our mind will determine how we feel.

Each of us has set some rules, some criteria in operation for what we want to happen.

So our emotions are messengers of clear messages.

OVERLOAD

Do you feel like there is more going on than you can handle and deal with? Then you are feeling overloaded.

Most people today feel that the day has far fewer hours than they need to complete all their obligations.

Modern society has shaped a daily routine whose demands, very often, exceed human endurance, and even repeatedly.

So how much or how much can a human body withstand?

If we do not receive the message of overload, and do not manage situations better, it is very likely that we will be led to collapse, resignation or even worse, we may get sick.

The message of Overload

Reevaluation and prioritization:

What is most important to me?

We all have 24 hours in a day, but not all of us are equally important.

So, by having our flag on what is important to us, we can manage the feeling of overload, our time, and by extension our daily lives, with wonderful results and a feeling of fulfillment and satisfaction.

Managing Overload

Write down everything you want to achieve.
Prioritize according to your own standards what is a priority for you.
Start with the first thing on your list and do something about it immediately.
Don’t stop until you achieve it. Face it step by step.
The brain will realize that you are regaining control and this will give you momentum for the rest.
Focus on what you control and believe that there is something good in what is happening, even if you don’t see it yet.

With respect,
