Do you ever get so overwhelmed with things that you just freeze and do nothing?
It's like being a deer caught in the headlights. Panic takes over your mind and you can't go left or right.
I'm sort of at that point right now. I have so many projects and tasks to complete, and logically I know I should let something drop, but I just can't bring myself to do it. And what's better? I forgot my to-do list at work. Again.
I just... don't know where to start.
Logic tells me I should just pick one thing and do it, and go down the list one by one, and maybe logic is right. But where do I start!?
How do you deal with feeling overwhelmed? When all you want to do is throw your hands in the air and disappear on some remote tropical island, left to sip rum filled coconuts for the rest of your natural life?
Definitely been there before! I usually sit for a few moments and collect myself with several deep breaths.
ReplyDeleteThen I do the logical thing and make a list of priorities. If the first thing is too overwhelming, I skip ahead to something I know I can quickly/easily complete. Get 'er done and feel better about moving to the next thing.
Well begun is half done! It'll get better as you get the ball rolling!
Take a day off from accomplishing things. SIt back, get your priorities in order, relax, think. It's amazing how a little time sitting back promotes clarity and motivation.
