It’s too easy to get overwhelmed with all the things you need to do. You feel anxious, highly strung and you have a constant nagging feeling in your stomach, an ever present reminder of goals yet fulfilled.
Does this sound familiar? If so, you’re not alone. We ALL feel like this at some stage. The trick is to conquer your anxiety and move forward with a calm mind, that’s focused on your objectives. Easier said than done right? Well, here’s a quote from Robert Greene that may help…
‘Crowd out feelings of panic by focusing on simple tasks. Visualize things
that are easy and familiar to you to divert your attention from anxiety’
To us, this means chunking it down. Chunking the big picture down into do-able, easily manageable tasks.
Lately, we’ve had things to deal with. And yes, for a week or so it did affect our work. But we took our own advice, worked out a plan, and now we are busy doing what needs to be done.
Look, when you get overwhelmed, most times, nothing gets done. As the days drag on by it only gets worse. You beat yourself up and this only adds to the problem.
So when you’re feeling like this, chunk it all down and do one thing at a time and then the next thing and so on. The big picture isn’t so big when you do this. Plus you’ll soon feel a sense of pride as you move forward ever closer to your goals.
