There are an abundant amount of factors that keep you from stopping for just a small moment. Life can get pretty demanding and normally people try to push through. But when does pushing through not work? When people are so consumed in their own lives, they tend to forget about the important things in life. We all are victims of not giving ourselves enough time.

Have you ever felt that your life was slipping away? That you are constantly getting caught in daily tasks and you start feeling like you are trapped? If so, then I am with you. I do not think that there was a time in my life where I did not feel that it was already planned out. I am so predictable at times.

The worst part about always being predictable is that you are constantly questioning if you can change and be spontaneous. Being predictable also leads you to do everything in a certain way or format.

This will probably cause you to feel unbalanced when something changes in your schedule. Little events that change your life are there for a purpose. They aren't there to annoy you, but simply introduce you to change. Change is something everyone must go through. Let the little events guide you rather than destroy you.

Everyone has their own goals and dreams. I am at that age where I am chasing and desperately running after each aspiration of mine. Sometimes I feel like I am a dartboard with a bunch of darts coming at me. The darts represent everything and everyone coming at me with a strong force.

Sometimes I get overwhelmed. Sometimes I am ready to tackle the task, but most times, I just need to take a break. We all need this. We all need to just focus on ourselves and make sure we are healthy first. Sometimes we neglect our health and sacrifice sleep for our work, studies, or people. It is important to take a break and take care of yourself first.

I encourage everyone to just stop and take a deep breath. Smile and look outside your window. Admire the scenery and just stop thinking about everything you have to get done for the day. Stop worrying about your job or your test grades. Just stop and breathe. Sometimes the best way to approach the next moment in your life is to stop.

Overthinking and overdoing never helps, they will only damage your spirit. If you or anyone you know is getting caught up in their daily routine, encourage them to just stop for a moment to breathe and re-focus.
