Last week I was not feeling my best, I was feeling a bit overwhelmed
by a number of things. That feeling is caused by the "Weight of Living." (by the way
check out the song by Bastille here )
We all experience that pressure with the ups and downs of life.
You have two choices, under the "Weight of Living" crumble under the pressure
or find a way to thrive under it.
So I took a trip down memory lane to help me put things in perspective and
focus on what can be done instead of folding under that weight.
Here is what I found in something I wrote almost a year ago.
"Perfection is never possible and knowing how to bounce back from a bad or missed
day can make all the difference in the world.
Focus on showing up
Don't break the chain try to create something everyday
Track your progress
Don't put up a zero, try to do something even if its small and simple, the psychological
affect is huge and it adds one small win every day, and you will need small wins."
I realized the reason I was feeling overwhelmed was not focusing on the small and
simple things.
So I took Sunday to write down a few small and simple actions I could take to lift
some of the weight off and focus on those.
That seemed to work, I felt more motivated, hopeful, focused, and hopeful.
So the next time you feel the Weight of Living (feel lost or overwhelmed) zoom down
in on the daily actions you take and you will find that weight gets a little easier to
carry.
