When we are really troubled, have a lot going on and we are overwhelmed we can't think straight. Our brains are designed to take things one thing at a time. So, if a lot is going on, well it does feel pain and it sends that pain by anxiety, stress and even lack of appetite and even digestive upset. In fact we become mentally exhausted.

The key is to slow down as much as possible. It is only fair to your brain, thats why we take vacations as we need to allow our brains to function normally by slowing down and looking at one thing at a time.

So many people don't realize that when this happens YOU HAVE TO SLOW DOWN. You really do and take whatever is coming and only let it come to a resolve ONE STEP AT A TIME.

Now I know that we cannot always run off and take a vacation. So, we do have to take TIME OUT in anyway we can. We really have to think TIME OUT and consciously make an EFFORT to SLOW IT DOWN. If you learn to do this YOU WILL FEEL MUCH BETTER. We can only do so much,
WE CANNOT CONTROL THE WORLD. We have to PACE OURSELVES and our BRAIN.

If your a person who says that you cannot meditate very well, HELLO, you are a person who needs to control every minute and YOU CANT LET GO. Now think about it. The whole purpose of meditation is to allow your brain to do what it NEEDS TO DO, SLOW DOWN AND PROCESS ONE THING AT A TIME. You have to realize that you are overworking your brain and it is saying, EASY, I NEED A REST, IM TIRED, PLEASE LISTEN. If you GIVE YOUR BRAIN THE ATTENTION IT NEEDS, YOU WILL FEEL BETTER. This is what people do not realize, they just don't take care of their brains. YOUR BRAIN IS NOT A MACHINE it is only capable of just trying to solve or address ONE THING AT A TIME. So all the feelings that tag along with you day in and day out, you have to understand, YOU CANNOT CONTROL THE WORLD OR OTHERS, YOU CAN ONLY CONTROL YOURSELF. If you wake up in the morning nauseus well, HELLO, maybe your brain is SAYING, please stop it, give me a break. No matter what it is you are facing, if it is too much, well, you have to EASE UP. Really YOU HAVE TO, You have to find a way to stop CONTROLING EVERY MINUTE AND SLOW IT DOWN. Even if that means making sure that you go for a walk or do something every day that rewards your brain and slows it down. And so when you get up, you have to remember that during that day I DON'T CARE HOW BUSY IT GETS, you will take time out to walk a way and let YOUR BRAIN RELAX COMPETELY.

Here is what you HAVE TO UNDERSTAND, no sometimes life really comes at us, and we keep saying too much, I am being overwelmed. But you have to understand, YOU ARE ALLOWING IT TO OVERLOAD YOU. Now I know that this can be very hard to understand and yes there are times when we do have a lot going on all at once. BUT THE ONLY PERSON THAT CAN CHANGE HOW IT EFFECTS YOU IS YOU. It is not that everything is coming at you, it is YOU ARE ALLOWING IT TO COME AT YOU AND OVERWHELM YOU. You have to take time out NO MATTER WHAT. And give your brain TIME OUT. And don't say, Oh I try, I can't do it, its too hard, JUST DO IT.
