Good Overwhelm
Overwhelmed.
When we think of overwhelm these days it tends to be toward the negative.
I am feeling overwhelmed.
A statement we use to infer how stressful we find something, depicting anxiety and perhaps an inability to move forward.
Of course, overwhelm can be positive, too.
We can be overwhelmed by the good things happening in our work and lives. We can feel our positive emotions runneth over. We can feel eustress, and an abundance of goodness.
Today is my birthday. It has been overwhelming. It has been wonderful. It fills me with gratitude and energy for what lies ahead.
This is an overwhelm we could do with more of, don’t you agree?
