The key steps to reducing the stress of overwhelm are simple yet profound.
We all are given projects that are daunting and overwhelming at the beginning. Some of us, create the projects our selves and we have more control over the amount of overwhelm we feel.
The overwhelm we feel is real and sometimes cause anxiety or even fear related procrastination. We even dislike the person who assigned the project to us for their disregard of our feelings. Does this sound familiar?
Here is some encouragement:
Take “baby steps” or break down the parts of the project into smaller tasks, this may seem very simple but it is most effective. You cannot just think about the project, you have to act on it and do the work. Little by little and do not put off any of the steps. You must stay commented to finish the project.
You do not need to panic yourself by looking at what it takes to get from point A all the way to point Z!! This is just too much to take in!
Allow yourself to do what you must do to get from point A to B and then from B to C, C to D, and so on- Pace yourself. Use the “ baby steps” in the things you feel may overwhelm you. You will reduce your over all stress levels greatly.
