In today's New Mid Tips I talk about how you can use an
experience from your past to realize you can overcome the feelings
of being overwhelmed.
Here are Five Tips to help you get through it:
1- Write: I had a big spiral notebook in my desk. Whenever
the situation would get particularly difficult I would shut my
office door and do a complete brain dump. I would write everything
that I was worried about, kept me up at night, problems I didn’t
have answers to, tasks that had to get done, and wouldn’t stop
until it was all written down.
2- Meditation/Prayer: In the top drawer of my desk I had written the Serenity Prayer. Once I’d read it I’d look over what I had written and cross out anything I could not control.
3- Make a list: I would then make a productive list of what needed to get done.
4- Prioritize: From the list I’d then prioritize in the order of importance of what needed to get done. If it could wait until tomorrow I would put a line through it and then make another list of those things that could wait until tomorrow.
5- Action: I’d then work my way through the list and made
sure that I put a line or checked off whatever I got done. It made
me feel so good when everything was either marked off or checked
off. It also felt good to take the emotion out of it.
