All to often life gets overwhelming. It's important to remember that all you need to do is take a step back, return with a fresh perspective and take it one piece at a time.

This is one of my personal weak spots; I work too hard and don't take time to rest, sleep, eat well and take care of all three of myselves: body, mind and spirit.

I love that! This is one of my personal weak spots; I work too hard and don’t take time to rest, sleep, eat well and take care of all three of myselves: body, mind and spirit.

Thanks for putting it out there to remind me ;)

If I have a daunting task I break in into smaller tasks and then I think that "If I can count it, I can do it" and I have not yet found something uncountable, although I have run out of time on a deadline occasionally, due to the piorities I set myself!

Some tasks or goals certainly can feel overwhelming. But if we can get past that to see all the small tasks that make up mammoth undertakings then we can take real action and keep on taking real action consistently. @Maria - It was a lot of fun to put the puzzle together. Of course because I am who I am I now want to find a new bigger puzzle to solve! :) It is amazing how a simple thing like changing up the environment can really help jump our mind out of the train tracks it's stuck on.

Perspective is so important and doing the smallest thing to change your perspective can help solve the most daunting problem. I often encourage students to stand up, or walk around when they get stuck on a problem. Just that action often breaks up their confusion.

This quote is simple and make a lot of sense. Sometimes tasks can be seen daunting (completing a 1000 pieces of jig saw), but with the single step and consistent action taken, it is definitely possible to achieve our goals. Thanks for sharing.
