The Power of Surrender & Release
When things feel out of control, turn inward to seek your spiritual side and tap into God/spiritual guides to help you through. This is a great exercise to have handy:
Dumping Exercise
Getting things down on paper can make all the difference. There is science that says when we take things swirling in our head and physically write them down so we can see them. In doing this we regain clarity, power, and an understanding of what to do next. When you are feeling overwhelmed, get out a sheet of paper and without overthinking write down:
-
What’s on your heart
-
What’s on your mind
-
What’s on your to do list
-
Cross off what isn’t yours to carry
-
Prioritize the list
-
Assign delete, delegate, defer, and do labels to each
-
Assign dates and take action!
