Today's thought............ (8)
This is how I take a go at things. I watch people take a somewhat simple task and turn it into something incredible. When you go at something, just focus on getting one thing done. Really, don't even think about it. Just start doing it. Before you know it, you're done. Keep positive thoughts and keep going at it.
I once cleaned out a whole section of woods beside my house that was covered in briars by doing this. I just started on a patch and kept wacking. Before I knew it, the whole area looked beautiful and I was able to just walk through it. I would occasionally take breaks and eat some Hersey Kisses and drink water, then go back at it.

You need to make friends with a guy with a bush hog.I once cleaned out a whole section of woods beside my house that was covered in briars by doing this. I just started on a patch and kept wacking.

HJFinAZ: Let go of the fear. Feel it, and then breathe it out. Let go of the frustration, the overwhelmed feelings, and the panic. Quiet yourself. Then pick one task, one simple thing to do. Then focus on only that. Or go to your calendar and circle today. Today is the only day you've got, and today is enough.
Action:
If you're working on a project, break it down into components, and work on one small part. Don't think about the rest. If what's overwhelming you is a flurry of tasks and problems, make a list, then pick one thing and focus on doing that. Then cross it off your list and do another.
If you're going through a tough stretch in your life, don't think about all the days that loom ahead. Make whatever appointments and plans you need to make, then focus only on today. If you're experiencing something tough, like a divorce or early sobriety, you may want to break your days into smaller parts, such as hours, mornings, afternoons, and evenings. Don't think about facing anything more than that chunk of time. Then when you get to the next chunk, focus on that.
If the beast of anxiety starts roaring, quiet it by deliberately turning your attention to small steps.

good thread. even if you are one of the type to load up your day with too many tasks (like i sometimes am), that is a great way to handle it.
It's amazing when you start to panic about how many things you have to do, and then you decide to focus on just one thing, how many things you can do.

You can't get anybody to help you do anything around here. I have to do everything on my own.
