If you are feeling caught
In a swirl of thoughts & emotions
As if you are being engulfed
In a whirlwind of overthinking…
Perhaps about family & relationships
Or your career or finances etc
Where you feel stuck in a loop
Unable to take a decision
Or move forward with a solution.
It could be Analysis Paralysis.
While anyone of us may have experienced it, people with inflexible and fixed mindset often find themselves in this dilemma.
On the other hand people who are sensitive and empathy also find themselves unable to take a decision to move forward if it is going to upset another .
In fact Analysis Paralysis can create blockages for intuitive people and hence they need to understand it to address it.
If you are experiencing it now here are few solutions to manage it.
Acknowledge with Self Awareness by scanning your entire body to sense what, when and where,and how often you are feeling this way.
Address it by allowing yourself to be more flexible and open to new perspectives without fear.
Stop trying to please one and all. Trust in your capabilities and know you are enough.
Conquering your fear of failure by taking a small step towards that which seems impossible. Keep the faith in yourself and you can always pivot without unwanted pressure.
Inculcating a practice of mindfulness regularly helps increase focus by creating present moment awareness.
Choosing to slow down and avoid the pressures of multitasking help ease the cognitive challenges.
To swim and surface Is daring the waves. Like any ocean surfer knows We are all equal before a wave. While you may not be able to control everything And learning curve may be steep You adapt to ride the waves. For waves are a part of the flow In the cycle of life. A wise leader knows the highs and lows Are part of the same flow.
Sometimes a little pause or silence Sometimes a little break from monotony Can be a gamechanger In the rut of routine To unshackle the soul And set the spirit free to imagine And spark the creative fire within… Wouldn’t you agree? And I suppose how much of it all, is an answer each knows… in the journey of becoming.
We are what we are As humans we are vulnerable beings, strengthened by our very vulnerability. As for our notions of the nuances As for our presumptions and prejudices Along with our unique sense of self contrived our otherwise We are only human we are capable of being humane.
We are alive & breathing in this now And no matter the despair and frustration No matter the weight of the world No matter the fragmented existence No matter our human fragility… We carry on as we are exploring & discovering thriving and creating history…
We are complete beings in our acknowledging incompleteness. We are perfect beings with all our so called imperfections.
And we strive to do our best with what we have
If everything is complete and perfect then there would be no wonder to evolve us along…
