01 Oct Take a Time Out and Get a Fresh Perspective by Kathy Cobb
Sometimes life has a way of tripping you up. The unexpected comes along and you are not prepared or ready for the situation at hand. Feelings of anxiousness, confusion and frustration overwhelm you. You know the feeling – you start feeling anxious or may even begin to panic. You can’t control the situation, so you go into emotional overload. You are on high alert – You are aware if you say anything it will only make matters worse. So, what do you do?
For me, I try to step outside or into another room. I have learned from experience that by collecting my thoughts, asking God for grace and direction usually calms me down. By doing so, I can refocus my thoughts and energy. Getting a fresh perspective allows me to go back into the situation with a peaceful attitude.
Then there are times when I realize I cannot do it alone and I seek counsel from a trusted friend. Being able to talk it out and praying with a friend can be the medicine my soul needs to move forward in the situation.
My advice to you – if you find you are overwhelmed, Take a Time Out! By doing so, you may receive and experience the peace you need to carry on!
