You are feeling overwhelmed because you push yourself beyond your limits to deliver the \u2018perfect\u2019 project.<\/p>\n<p>Keep in mind that done is better than perfect.<\/p>\n<p>Perfectionism often leads to procrastination and more overwhelm, which is counterproductive. Keep in mind that good is good enough. You don\u2019t have to overdeliver on every single occasion.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span id=\"15_Be_The_River\">15.

Don\u2019t resist them; that only creates sorrow. Let reality be reality. Let things flow naturally forward in whatever way they like.\u201d<\/em>\u00a0\u2013 Lao Tzu<\/p>\n<p>In a contest between a rock and a river, the river always wins. The river follows the path that is called on it by natural forces. The rock is stock where it is, pushing back against the river. Over a long period of time, the river can shape the rock. It can go over, under, around, or through the rock.<\/p>\n<p>It is another metaphor to show that going with the flow, even when that flow is slow, is the easiest and most sustainable way to go.<\/p>\n<p>Every day when you get up, you can decide whether you want to be the rock or the river. I spent many years being the rock, trying to resist or control certain situations. I didn\u2019t trust the unknown. Over the last few years, I\u2019ve learned how to trust and surrender to the flow that is our life.<\/p>\n<p>I try to become the river more often than the rock. Why? Because that brings inner peace, which is invaluable to me. I appreciate my life more when I go with the flow and release control.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span id=\"Overcome_Feeling_Overwhelmed\">Overcome Feeling Overwhelmed<\/span><\/h2>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=\" http:=\"\" alt=\"Woman Looking Sad Stressed and Unhappy MSN\" class=\"wp-image-76358\" data-lazy-srcset=\"https:\/\/radicalfire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Woman-Looking-Sad-Stressed-and-Unhappy-MSN-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/radicalfire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Woman-Looking-Sad-Stressed-and-Unhappy-MSN-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/radicalfire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Woman-Looking-Sad-Stressed-and-Unhappy-MSN-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/radicalfire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Woman-Looking-Sad-Stressed-and-Unhappy-MSN-150x84.png 150w, https:\/\/radicalfire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Woman-Looking-Sad-Stressed-and-Unhappy-MSN.png 1200w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/radicalfire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Woman-Looking-Sad-Stressed-and-Unhappy-MSN-1024x576.png\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/radicalfire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Woman-Looking-Sad-Stressed-and-Unhappy-MSN-1024x576.png\" alt=\"Woman Looking Sad Stressed and Unhappy MSN\" class=\"wp-image-76358\" srcset=\"https:\/\/radicalfire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Woman-Looking-Sad-Stressed-and-Unhappy-MSN-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/radicalfire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Woman-Looking-Sad-Stressed-and-Unhappy-MSN-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/radicalfire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Woman-Looking-Sad-Stressed-and-Unhappy-MSN-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/radicalfire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Woman-Looking-Sad-Stressed-and-Unhappy-MSN-150x84.png 150w, https:\/\/radicalfire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Woman-Looking-Sad-Stressed-and-Unhappy-MSN.png 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Image Credit: Melpomene\/Depositphotos.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>When you are feeling overwhelmed, know that you\u2019re not the only one.
