O v e r l o a d - A Real Problem on The Web
Have you spent long on the web? Have you ever felt like screaming. You know, a really good aaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrhhhhhh!!!!! It may help to relieve some of the frustration-like feelings experienced as a result of sheer overload. It's a very real sensory overload that so many of us experience from time to time on the web and I suggest you take it seriously.
It's just so easy and so, well, obvious to suggest that some time off would be a good idea. Don't you hate it when people tell you to do what you already know, as if it is sage advice. Or perhaps someone said you should get some more exercise, preferably outdoors, away from your computer. The nerve!
No, somehow, even knowing that what they say is right, these suggstions just don't help. What we need in these circumstances isn't clever and blindingly obvious recommendations. We just need a little understanding. Perhaps a little space to do what must be done. Oh, and yes, that scream.
Now for this scream to be therapeutic, it has to be deep and long lasting. None of those little, pathetic, high-pitched squeals. No; only the real deal will cut it. So go ahead. Take at least three slow, deep breaths and then go for it. Give it a shot - it is bound to help you feel better.
Think I'm nuts? Think maybe I've lost it, got the odd 1 perhaps, where I should have a zero? Well, maybe, but did you scream? Go ahead and do the therapy, then you'll know that I'm onto something with this. So do it; connect with your feelings from deep within and express them forcefully, meaningfully, powerfully in the real world.
Now, you may want to warn your co-workers if any are nearby. No need to terrify them. So do it. If you think an apple a day keeps the doctor away, believe me, a scream will have your doctor running for the hills!
Enjoy. Remember, today is not a dress rehaersal for life. It is the real thing. Do the best you can with it.
