Paralyzed By Excess

April 26, 2011

i can never keep it cleanIt is true that we can be so overwhelmed with stuff that we just don’t know what to do next. Hare are some examples:

  • Information surrounds us until it immobilizes us. We don’t know what to read, do, act on next.
  • Craft projects and supplies can get so out of hand that you just don’t know what to start on next or even lose the motivation to finish.
  • Toys can be so abundant that your children pile them up all over in frustration because they can’t zero in on the one thing they really want to do. Too many choices.

I work with people all the time that feel helpless over their surroundings. They feel so paralyzed by excess they just don’t know where to start.

What would happen if you just got up and found 10 things to get rid of today, and maybe 10 things the next. Dare you say you feel a little relief? Keep going. Don’t worry about where to start for now, just start!
