"To think too long about doing a thing often
becomes its undoing." ~Eva Young
Good
morning!
When was the
last time you felt truly overwhelmed? Maybe it was last week, or last
month, or maybe it is right now, this very minute. Have your "to-dos"
piled so high that they are robbing the joy from your days and the skip
from your step?
When we are overwhelmed, we can often trace the feeling to one of four
sources:
1. When we fail to allow enough time for the unexpected, tasks pile up
and all of a sudden we find ourselves anxious or struggling to stay
above water.
2. There is some specific
"to-do" that you just don't like doing. That single to-do is ignored
more than any others, until it gets to a point of "crisis," and must be
dealt with.
3. The project seems
insurmountable - since we don't know where to start, we just don't
start.
4. Like today's quote, we
confuse PLANNING with DOING and spend too long in the planning phase
and not enough time in the action phase.
Regardless of the source of your "overwhelmed feeling" the quickest way
to release it is through action. Even five-concentrated minutes on a
task will help us to feel we have control over the "to-do" versus it
controlling us.
Your
Turn: Make a list of the things that are overwhelming to
you right now. Choose one to work with this week. Each day, set your
timer for at least 5 minutes and take focused action. Notice how the
action begins to make the anxious and overwhelmed feelings dissolve.
Your Affirmation: I do not
succumb to feelings of being overwhelmed, instead I am inspired to
action.
