Clearing Clutter Creates Clarity

Feeling overwhelmed is like when your 4 walls feel like they are closing in on you, too many things to accomplish in your head can feel very similar to the clutter in your living and work space. Your mind feels overwhelmed with things you should do or what you have to do.

The to-do list appears to never reduce down and we end up in a form of analysis paralysis, and not getting anything accomplished. As an example, you may want to change your diet, exercise more, start a new class, or clean out your closets. Attempting too many changes at once though, are likely to create more overwhelm and cause you to quit sooner.

In order to overcome this, it is necessary to prioritize your goals, and divide them into achievable objectives. firstly:
1) Stop using words such as ‘should’ ‘must’ ‘have to’ instead make it more concrete. Try using words such as, ‘choose’, ‘commit‘. “I choose to start today”. “I commit to completing this today”. They are more positive and decisive.

2) Commit to one goal with one change that will make a difference – Add green vegetables to your diet 3 days a week or workout after work twice a week, or clear out a shoe closet. The changes don’t need to be big. By committing to small changes you create momentum, and build self-confidence in your ability to meet your goals.

Don’t let overwhelm stop you in your tracks. Start with small simple steps forward. Momentum and success will follow.
