Mindset Monday- Struggles

What are your tricks for getting things done?

Each day has its own set of struggles and yet we figure out how to get sh*t done every day.

Some days our capacity and skill set align and others it feels like a dumpster fire. This week has started off with a stuck sort of feeling and not a lot of enthusiasm for doing the things. But I show up, and things get done.

I would like for us all though, to alleviate some of these avoidable or manageable struggles, implement some hacks and techniques so we can all live a more magical, ideal life. And we are going to learn together along the way!

This is a tip I learned a couple years ago, that if I can name it, I can tame it. It gives me near immediate relief once I start to take action on naming the things that are causing my stress and creating higher lever of stress and anxiety than necessary. Take a moment to name your stresses, your struggles, your to-do list. Begin to tame the swirling thoughts by categorizing and prioritizing the list. Once they are corralled on paper, I could start to make logical groupings, see the forest through the trees and make a plan of action.

Write out what really needs done and slow the swirling thoughts and get a handle on them. Name what needs done so that you can tame the struggle and focus your energy on doing.

• What needs to be done in the next 2 hours vs tomorrow or next week?

• What are the things that have been added to your list by others?

• What can you outsource or hit the "easy" button on?

• What resources do you need to make things more convenient?

• Prioritize based on urgency and personal importance.

And then take a breath and make magic happen while getting sh*t done. Because taking action is where the real conquering (and magic) happens.

Tell me what’s on your list to get done today & where you’re riding the struggle bus. Let’s do this together!
