Overwhelming big job? Chunk it out into manageable steps -- however small you need to mentally manage the seeming insurmountable goals. I have also found 'chunking it out' helpful when I am feeling overwhelmed by too many projects that are all long and complex. Do one chunk on one and another chunk on another and eventually progress may be seen on all of the goals. I also find it helpful to think through the steps that I will need to accomplish so that I have a solid plan of action when I do break through the wall of emotional overwhelm. I can't move a ton of rocks! Yes I can, one load at a time over a few days. -

I accomplished something the other day...

I really didn't want to paint my house. I wanted to do a thousand other things. I saw it as a big job and felt overwhelmed.

Here's how I did it.

I committed to doing small things and only those things.

I told myself, "I'm going to remove the brass numbers and flag holder."

✅ Done.

Not so bad. I'm going to get all the materials together, and that is all.

✅ Done.

Not so bad. I will commit to getting this small portion done by the front door.

✅ Done.

Well, that only took a few minutes, and the stuff is out; I'm going to do the other side of the door.

You see where this is going. I ended up doing the entire front of the house. I have been fighting this for weeks, always seeing it as a 'big' job.

Breaking it down into chunks made each one manageable, and I could see myself doing it.

I eliminated feelings of fear and being overwhelmed.

This process is known as Personal Kaizen.

📌 When facing something overwhelming in your life, apply the principle of Personal Kaizen.

🌱 Break it down into small achievable chunks.

I specialize in helping people overcome their fears, areas of hesitation, and feelings of being overburdened.

With that in mind, I’m offering break-through sessions at $999 until the end of the year. Breakthrough sessions typically cost $1,500.

See for yourself how a breakthrough session could be just the thing you need to make 2024 the best year ever.

The choice is yours.
