TO-DO LIST OVERWHELM
Do you find yourself overwhelmed with a continuous TO DO list? With 1 million things that you HAVE TO DO! 🤯
But wait a minute. DO YOU HAVE TO? Or do you actually, somewhere, deep down, maybe waaaaay the F deep down, WANT TO do that thing?
Example:
"I HAVE to drive my kids all over town today."
Do you? Do you really HAVE to? Could you call Hop, Skip, Drive and arrange a pick up? Could you enlist the help of a neighbor? Could you say NO to whatever activity you are driving them to?
Probably. You could probably do one of the above but most likely you don't want to, because really, deep down, again, maybe waaaaay the F down, you actually WANT to “drive them” because - well, I don't know.
Maybe you want to make sure they get there safely yourself.
Maybe you want to have them doing whatever activity it is because you know it will help them in the future.
Maybe you want to listen to a podcast while you are driving.
Maybe you want to sit in your car in the AC for however long it takes to get them there.
I don't know. But you know. So really…
Think about it. And then ask yourself:
Why AM I doing this thing? Hmmmm?
When you find the answer, under all the overwhelm, you may just be surprised. You may find that you actually WANT to do that thing.
And if not - then you can CHOOSE TO remove that shit from your list! Seriously.
⚡️ HAVE TO vs CHOOSE TO ⚡️
It's a huge difference. And yes, this can be tricky. I feel you. And also…this can be life changing! Try it.

P.S. I can help you with discerning between the HAVE TOs and the WANT TOs. It starts with you + me talking for an hour on Zoom and figuring it allllll out together. Call me. For real. Don’t let overwhelm ruin your year. I got you. 💜⚡️
