I had this happen with my computer the other day – it was misbehaving horribly, and no matter how many reboots I did, nothing changed. As I teach people how to use online technology, it was both frustrating and humorous (and humbling) at the same time.

I did as you wrote, stopped, took a break, changed my thinking, and when I returned to the computer, the solution was right there in front of me.

Thanks for the reminder!

Excellent advice on ending overwhelm. I recently started the using The Work and find it very helpful.

You are so right. Finding the starting point helps to stop the overwhelm and begin. Thanks for an inspiring post.

This is great advice! I especially like your emphasis on being where you are, to start. Sometimes that can be such a relief, in and of itself. And to the 4 things Paula suggests that we do, I’d opt for adding a 5th – gratitude!

These are good ways for people to crawl out of a hole. Thanks, Helene!
