Take a break!

I am being pulled in different directions simultaneously

(And that is a usual work day for me)

I think I can handle it all, this is an occurrence frequent

I should be adept at multitasking, at being present

For the smorgasbord of decisions that need to be made

But I get flustered, stumble as I try to wade

Through the muddy waters of complex decisions

That are quite subjective, with a low degree of precision

*

With too many decisions when I am faced

It often gets impossible for me to place

Them in the right order of priority

With that comes a hit to my efficiency

Which leaves me profoundly dissatisfied

I feel like I’ve failed despite having tried..

*

One such day I felt overwhelmed completely

The next step to take I just could not see

In the midst of this decision paralysis I walked away

Stepped outside in the sun to enjoy the beauty of the day

Felt rejuvenated and then returned

To work with renewed vigor, here was a lesson learned

*

There is a lot to do that can be frustrating

When I get overwhelmed I am now educating

Myself to take a moment to regain

My composure, so that I remain

Focused when and where I need to be

I’m learning to step away and get clarity..
