What do I do when I feel overwhelmed at work?
I create one need to do list.
I make sure everything on the list must be done.
I remove tasks that do not need to be completed.
Each morning, I look at this list and pick the top 5 items.
I make certain to do all 5.
If I complete all 5, I look at the list and do one more.
And then one more.
In the morning I tell myself the following:
“I will have a great and productive day!”
“I can handle it!”
Often, tasks I thought were complicated were not.
Two other things I do.
I begin my day with a centering prayer sit.
Right before my sit, as I settle into the silence, I visualize what I will get done today.
I see my tasks being completed.
Then I begin my centering prayer sit.
I also take a second centering prayer sit in the early afternoon no matter how busy I am.
I need this second sit!
It is my reset button.
At the end of the day, I practice gratitude.
I look back at the day and thank God for all I accomplished and for all that I enjoyed today.
