Overwhelmed to the Point of Shutdown

We all have days when the anxiety and overwhelm of life start to shut us down. It is then that the rubber meets the road. What do we do?

I loved what my dad always used to tell me when I was young. He said “Tomorrow is a New Day.” He was telling me there was Hope and I needed to keep moving forward!

As a man of faith, I am thankful to God for his Hope and His steadfast love.

In Lamentations it says, “The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases, its mercies never come to an end. They are new every morning.”

That’s it, “New Every Morning!”

It may not always seem like it, but if you believe there is Hope… you will have Hope!

If you believe it is a new day with new opportunities, you will have a fresh perspective and be able to overcome whatever the circumstances are in your life.

The way we think is so important in our life. It affects everything we do. In Craig Groechel’s book “Winning the War in Your Mind, Change Your Thinking, Change Your Life,” it talks about just this thing.?

Craig says, “Your mind is a battlefield, and the battle for your life is always won or lost in your mind.” “To win the battle for our minds, we must engage, because there is no other way for us to defeat evil. The days of being neutral must be over.”

So today, are you going to win the battlefield of your mind or are you going to shut down and be overwhelmed with life? It is your choice!

Engage!

You do get to “Live the Life You Choose!”

Remember what I always say, “Life Happens… and then You Choose!”

You choose your thoughts.

“OUR LIVES ARE ALWAYS MOVING IN THE DIRECTION OF OUR strongest thoughts. What we think shapes who we are.” Craig Groechel

You may be thinking, Positive thinking alone is not going to change my life, and you are right.

Positive thinking is great, but as John Maxwell says, Positive Thinking must be followed by Positive Doing!”?

If we don’t take action it is pointless!

Sometimes that action is changing the way we are looking at things. Our perspective.?

Mary Engelbreit says, “If you don’t like something, change it… If you can’t change it, change the way you think about it!”

This is how we overcome overwhelm. Trust and believe that God will give you the strength to change your situation, or change your thinking and perspective.? Then take positive action that will take you forward and produce Positive Results!

There is Hope!

You Can Do Amazing Things with your life, in spite of your current situation or circumstances.

Do not let others and circumstances out of your control, control your thoughts and choices.?

You do get to “Live the Life You Choose!”?

It’s up to you!
