Decisions Are Overwhelming

I want to share a story that I am pretty sure you can relate to.

Because it’s about … “What’s for dinner?”

The answer to this seems to be a never-ending nightly struggle, am I right?!

We make so many decisions every day – and by the time dinner rolls around – it’s like an endless, draining, loop trying to figure out what to eat.

For me, this struggle came to a head one night when I was standing in front of the fridge, trying to figure out what to make.

The same way I did almost every single night.

It wasn’t like I didn’t have any food on hand. I’d even gone grocery shopping over the weekend and stocked up on healthy food.

But everything required work, time, cooking, and more importantly… MAKING A DECISION.

And at the time, honestly, I felt so tired and stressed out by the whole thing. My day had been BUSY and I didn’t want to think let alone decide.

I WAS OVER MAKING DECISIONS let alone making dinner!!!!

Ya feelin’ me?

I hope I’m not the only one who has found themselves sprawled out on the kitchen floor pitching a fit because life is so hard…. At this moment figuring out dinner was flat out SENDING ME OVER THE EDGE, like I had to decide on ALL THE THINGS to solve ALL THE PROBLEMS before our world imploded…

So. I did what any “normal” person would do and I grabbed my phone and ordered takeout.

Problem solved… although I was

• frustrated at myself for making it such a big deal
• mad at myself for paying too much for food that isn’t as good as my cooking
• and a little embarrassed for the fit I pitched

Being stuck in that vicious cycle of OVERWHELM is the WORST … because it’s way too easy to click that I don’t want to be an adult today button.

But when you look at the big picture…

• Life really isn’t that hard. I was making it harder.
• Figuring out dinner should not be such a struggle.
• The struggle really wasn’t about figuring out dinner at all.

Here are three things I did to break free from my overwhelm:

1. I got over the blame game with myself and analyzed why I was really frustrated and overwhelmed.

What thoughts was I telling myself?

“I had to decide all the things.”
“I am the ONLY DECIDER for this family.”
“My life is too busy, so I am overwhelmed.”

 

2. The truth hurts but our lies hurt even worse. Understanding what I was telling myself helped me to remember I was feeling overwhelmed and anxious because of the lies my brain was telling me.

I don’t have to decide ALL the things.
I am not the ONLY decision maker for my family.
My life is not TOO busy and that is not the reason for my overwhelm.

 

3. Here’s where the magic happened! I went to God. I went to the one who is my DECIDER OF ALL THINGS and asked him to help me with what I already had learned how to do…. “Remind me of your truth’s Lord, so I can see your good and pleasing will.”

 

Changing our stink’n think’n isn’t easy – but it works.

You just need a proven system and step-by-step process that teaches you how. Time is going to go by one way or another, whether you are stressed and overwhelmed in this life or you learn how to be set free by our creator God.

You can learn who He created you to be. You can learn His truth about who you are. You DESERVE to live your best life.

Learning how to change your mind to change your life can make all of the difference not just for YOUR mental and emotional health but also for your marriage, your kids, your relationships, your career, and finally understanding God’s good, pleasing, and perfect will for your life!

 

How will changing YOUR mind change your life?

P.S. I never thought an amazing life without anxiety, overwhelm, and depression was possible for me either….but it was. And it is for you too.
