How we deal with our thoughts & how we take appropriate actions, can go a long way in bringing happiness.

Often excited about many projects, hobbies and ventures myself, I sometimes don’t know what to do first! Then life shows up with the flu or computer malfunction and it feels like there has been a setback in the ‘plan’ and overwhelm can set in.  There are so many pieces to the project to do, so much left undone and now on top of it you are sick! What now?

The key to stopping the overwhelm and actually creating more ease in life in every situation is to ask yourself constantly, “What can I do right NOW?”  

If you are sick with the cold, the right thing to do in the moment could be to stop everything,  watch a movie and drink soup.  Or, if you are working on multiple projects you can ask, “What is the one action I can take right NOW?”  See if you keep focused and keep just doing the action that you need to do in the moment, life automatically opens up to show you the next action or step to take.  It’s when we get scrambled in our heads over the big pictures or ‘all’ the details, that we get stressed.

Remember this all the time and especially if you find yourself getting overwhelmed or unhappy with what’s happening in your life, “What can I do right NOW?”  What action can you take in every moment?  Automatically the bigger picture opens to you and the next steps show up on their own accord.
