Changing One Thing is The First Step to Changing Everything
What a week we've just experienced here in the UK and in most of the other parts of the world. Will things ever be quite the same? It's probably the nearest that many us will ever get to feeling what it would have been like living in the world war years. However what an opportunity the next three to six months are to help us change and achieve a new direction and aim in our lives.
In his book "I'm Worth More" Rob Moore writes...
If you are feeling frustrated, confused, overwhelmed by recent events, then...................... Get something done. Get one thing done. Get anything done.
Something beats nothing. A body in motion tends to stay in motion, and a body at rest tends to stay at rest. The law of motion seems so simple. Of course when you feel demotivated i's not so simple. Often we put up a wall or a mountain in the way and we perceive some tasks as too big, hard &/or scary. In those moments it's wise to remember that all we have to do is "do something". Just one thing!
How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time, How do you run a marathon? One step at a time. How do you write a report or book? One word at a time.
Action breeds action, which creates momentum, which breeds more action. Start now. Become perfect later.
Experts suggest that most people find having three bad major life events that happen at the same time can cause major anxiety and depression, and most tragically can end in some extreme cases can end with people even considering suicide. They reckon most people can handle one or two misfortunes, but any more and they are likely to take a nose-dive. They suggest if you find yourself in bad situations that you start with one thing. Get one sorted, or started. Once one is solved or at least on the way of being solved, the stress reduces, the overwhelm diminishes, the mist clears and the momentum reverses.
Pick one area of your life that is important to you, where your confidence may be waning and start there. Send out your CV, invest in that course you really want to, make the next meal you order a healthy one, abandon the car, go for a lengthy walk, dust off the cobwebs of your bike.
One little change can have a domino effect on changing every (big) challenge/worry.
