Stuck In a Rut!!!

Sometimes, we just keep putting things off.  For no good reason at all.  We just never get up and do anything.  

I've been there.  I'm there right now. 

For me, I just feel too overwhelmed having so many things I want to do and accomplish, that I simply shut down and literally do nothing.  

So, how do we change?  How do I change?  

 One trick that I use to get myself going is: to tackle one small, tangible thing in order to get "gassed up" to take on the bigger, more conceptual things.  

Example: I re-organized my pantry.  This was a very tangible, very concrete task.  

I can feel the difference.  See the difference. Use the difference.  

And the result:  I feel accomplished!  Which gives me all kinds of motivation and confidence to complete another (much more important) task.  

That thing you've wanted to do...it might be: writing a book, starting a business, creating a budget, building your website, starting a project at work, volunteering in your community, or joining a committee at church.  

Whatever it is....get started!  

OR, if you're finding it hard to get started, do something else first. Something tangible, something easier.  Something you can complete!

 Then, find the confidence and drive to move on to the thing that you really want to do.  

Here's the before and after of my "easy task".
