Too Many Problems?
If we were only given one problem at a time it would be easier but not always better.
More problems could be more opportunities. Too many problems? Start solving them.

Center Ourselves First
Sometimes it's hard to see how much we contribute to a problem.
Unless we center ourselves first, the problem will keep us off center.

Relax the Overwhelm
It's possible. I've been know to over-think a problem. People sometimes take the spaghetti approach -- throw a bunch of solutions at the problem and see what sticks.
Sometimes it works. It doesn't always. Sometimes finesse wins the day. Or patience. Or collaboration.
It isn't always necessary to overwhelm a problem in order to solve it. Maybe, like in the martial arts, it pays to let the problem fall on its own with just a gentle re-direction from you.
