When it seems like everything is coming at you all at once, it probably is. Here’s a list of things to help you get through.
- Take a few moments to yourself.
- Take at least 3 deep breaths with your eyes closed
- Talk to someone who wants to listen to you
- Write your to do list in a closed book or app so that you’re not bombarded by them while you’re working
- Think positively: “Time can work in my favor.” “I have the ability to do one thing at a time.” “It’s ok for me to rest when things feel too heavy.”
We stay in the moment around the writing parts. Yes, shutting down looks mighty nice but where’s the story in that?! Keep your eyes toward the sky with a pen and a paper in each in hand.
