For several months, I am overwhelmed by many obligations and commitments at work and at home. I have been waking up in the middle of the night, thinking I just missed important deadlines.
When you feel this way, even a little mistake and a negative remark from the other people can make you into a spiral of negative emotions. I was overwhelmed and worried about everything.
I have been through this type of situation many times in life, but somehow I could not shake it off this time. I read many inspirational books and videos, looking for a way out. But what made me come out of this state was a 5-min focus time with whatever the things I need to take care.
Rome wasn’t built in a day – such a cliche, but it is true. All I need to do is – take a small step instead of being overwhelmed and worried about finishing. When I spent just 10 minutes tackling things, it created a snowball reaction – I could work on more and more. I had a task that seemed to be monumental and did not think I can complete it in time. But with this renewed perspective, I was able to work on it a little by little and finish it in a couple of weeks.
So, one done, a few more to go before the end of year. But I will take action without worrying about results.
