Lately I’ve felt overwhelmed…and I’m celebrating it.
Sound odd? It is, but let me tell you the difference that makes this so important.
The magic is that right now, I am overwhelmed by a life that I once only used to dream about.
I’ve felt overwhelmed at many points in my life. Too many stressors. Too many responsibilities. And much of the time, I didn’t even really like my life. Working jobs that society told me I should work. Streaming tv that I didn’t even really want to watch. Drinking booze that they sold me because it would make me feel better.
Now, my overwhelm comes from learning how to manage my time in a business that gives me location freedom. It comes from the stress of new cultural and language challenges as I live in Egypt, a country I dreamed about as a child. It comes from the frustrations of dating with higher standards than I’ve ever had, choosing not to settle for less than I desire.
So yes, I feel overwhelmed. And I also feel grateful.
This is called a reframe. Changing the meaning of something in order to change the way we think about it, which means changing the we way we feel about it. It’s probably the simplest and most effective technique for transformation and it isn’t that hard.
