Overwhelmed = Anxiety and Stress

Want to know how to relieve stress and anxiety?  Only concentrate on one thing right NOW.  

What does that mean?  Do you have a big event coming up? Debts, health concerns, big trip or family gathering and you are feeling overwhelmed by all the things you have to do to get ready and prepare?  STOP!

Break it down into one thing at a time and stop thinking about the whole big mess.  Right now, do one thing that is part of what you need to do.  Need to clean the house but don't have all day to do it?  Clean the bathroom.  It is the smallest and quickest to clean.  Tomorrow clean another room and only worry about that.  Want to lose 30 pounds?  Work on just what you can do today for 10 minutes; go for a walk, eat less at one meal or eliminate one thing from your diet.

We lose momentum and increase our rate of failure because too many times we make the big picture SO BIG and HUGE, that it just seems too much and too hard to accomplish.  By just focusing on the next step, right now, you make it smaller, easier and begin to see that you CAN do it.

Want to begin a stretching program?  Awesome!  Do 5 minutes when you wake up and it is done for the day and you will notice a difference in your day.  Here are stretching videos to help you, just click on the link:

I am reading a great book that talks about this problem and easy solutions, "Excuses Be Gone!" by Dr. Wayne Dyer.  I highly recommend it.
