Let go of the fear. Feel it, and then breathe it out. Let go of the frustration, the overwhelmed feelings, and the panic. Quiet yourself. Then pick one task, one simple thing to do. Then focus on only that. Or go to your calendar and circle today. Today is the only day youve got, and today is enough. Action: If youre working on a project, break it down into components, and work on one small part. Dont think about the rest. If whats overwhelming you is a flurry of tasks and problems, make a list, then pick one thing and focus on doing that. Then cross it off your list and do another. If youre going through a tough stretch in your life, dont think about all the days that loom ahead. Make whatever appointments and plans you need to make, then focus only on today. If youre experiencing something tough, like a divorce or early sobriety, you may want to break your days into smaller parts, such as hours, mornings, afternoons, and evenings. Dont think about facing anything more than that chunk of time. Then when you get to the next chunk, focus on that. If the beast of anxiety starts roaring, quiet it by deliberately turning your attention to small steps.
