Often we can get stuck in a state of overwhelm and frustration in our long-term projects. Well, here’s how you can break this state in 24 hours.
Action – At the top of a page, write the phrase “Today I Will…” and brainstorm a list of what I call ‘one-dayers’. Here are some ideas:
• Go to the gym
• Take a walk in a park
• Take the stairs instead of the elevator
• Compliment 3 people
• Get out of the office for lunch
• Volunteer some time at a charity
• Take your family out to dinner
• Make a phone call you’ve been avoiding
• Write out 3 things you’re grateful for
• Watch the sunset
• Spend 30 minutes reading a favorite book
Choose items you will commit to doing today. Then when you’ve completed them, celebrate! Keep the rest of the list handy for another day that needs an energy boost, some fast results and celebrations.
