Overcoming Overwhelm
Overcoming Overwhelm Look in any thesaurus, and the synonyms for overwhelm are pretty awful: overpower, subdue, oppress, quash, engulf, swallow, submerge, bury, suffocate.

Spring Letting Go Process
I’ve been doing a “letting go” process. It’s based on a Feng Shui practice of letting go of 27 items for 9 days.
