The common theme of the 2020s is being overwhelmed. To say that the decade of the 2020s started with tremendous overwhelm is an UNDERSTATEMENT.
A pandemic, economic distress, societal upheaval, economic uncertainty, political chaos, natural disasters, and numerous world conflicts are all overwhelming on their own, but to have them all happen simultaneously is overwhelming.
Slowing down and prioritizing are ways to deal with being overwhelmed. However, our culture has done the opposite. Instead of slowing down and re-evaluating our current ways of life, we add more noise to the fray and more things to do.
Everyday life is overwhelming on its own, and when we add on the chaos and confusion of our world, we need practical strategies to adapt and navigate our current situation to avoid being in a permanent state of overwhelm.
While we cannot predict the future and what other calamities await us in the 2020’s, we can do our part to break up with everyday overwhelm.
