If you know my story, you might remember that I suffered a devastating breakdown in my twenties that I created my own comeback strategy for. Anxiety and fear completely ruled my life for three torturous years. It was a hard-won, yet simple, adjustment in my focus that allowed me to re-enter life as a healthy person.
Chaos and confusion can cause many things but one of them is overwhelm.
Us humans, when faced with overwhelm, break down, go manic or shut down completely because our systems can’t take it.
There is another solution.
Adjusting your focus.
In overwhelm, we are flailing to do too much or get paralyzed not knowing where to begin. The key is to block out the noise and narrow your focus onto something you CAN control.
Make it simple by narrowing the aperture and dealing with the ‘subject’ that is right in front you. It may just be breakfast, an essential meal to fuel your brain and body to get ready for the rest of it. It may be the person in front of you that needs your attention most at that moment. I may be just stopping and taking ten deep breaths so you can center yourself. Whatever it is, it’s a narrower focus being called for so your vision can become clear again.
We are offering a way to do that if you are working on your next step in work or life.
