Visualize these thoughts (particularly those related to all the things you need to do). As an anxious thought comes buzzing in, don’t ignore it or swat it. Instead, grab it and throw it into a cage—any kind of imaginary one will do: a gilded decorative one, a shoebox, or a wide-mouthed mayonnaise jar. You might even want to draw a picture of your cage and name each thought or to-do item you capture.

This week’s “moment” comes from Sheila. The title is not a misprint.
We all have times when we feel overwhelmed. It may seem our thoughts and worries and fears are buzzing all around us, dive bombing and looping in our minds. We feel our heads being jerked here and there, making it difficult to focus, to decide which of these assailants to go after first. Our anxiety builds and crescendos and we feel totally out of control and at the mercy of the battle going on in our minds.
Let me suggest an analogy that might help you to pull out of the fog and get more direction and focus.
