Some days I just don’t know how to keep from being distracted by all the little things… How do I focus on the big picture? How do I block out all the noise and all the things that try for my attention? How do I de-clutter my thoughts? Some days I feel hopeless… just hopeless. I walk around most days feeling pretty ok but days like today life feels like it is crumbling around me. I think sometimes I allow myself to be sucked into the little details so I don’t have to realize how broken and afraid I feel.

I feel the same way many days, my dear. My term for it is that I feel “lost”. Lost where I often do not know, but mostly it is in the little things, too. All those little things have an immense power to overwhelm a person. What works for me many times is to mentally deconstruct those things to show myself how trivial I am being. And it may sound cliche but it truly helps to stay positive using affirmations!
Not cliche at all! đ I tell myself “You are safe and you are loved” when I feel afraid and overwhelmed…it really helps calm me down.
