Overburdened No More

Text me your thoughts on the episode! Positive soundtracks are good. If you think positive thoughts then your brain can be your very best friend.  It will help you to be more creative and full of hope. If you think negative thoughts, your brain becomes your worst enemy.  It will hold you back from taking action on all the things that you want in your life. Which do you choose? I know that sounds o...

Text me your thoughts on the episode! My interview with my friend, neighbor and Mayor of my city, Tami Tran, gave me some insights into goals vs priorities that I hadn’t considered before.  Setting expectations and boundaries help everyone involved.  Planning and routines give structure so spontaneity can actually happen.

Text me your thoughts on the episode! Today I have a simple quote I wanted to share with you. In my experience, it’s the simple things that can make the biggest changes in our lives.  A few months ago, I heard this quote by Dieter Uchtdorf. He said, “Do you want to change the shape of your life? Change the shape of your day. Do you want to change your day? Change this hour. Change what you think,...

Text me your thoughts on the episode! How do you get a minute to put yourself first when it feels like everyone has a long list of what they need to do and it always includes your help in some way? Believe it or not, I’ve actually found a way to put myself first without removing myself from the planet and it was easier than I thought it could be. Why would I want to begin my day by letting hundred...

Text me your thoughts on the episode! Adding up the cumulative costs of the time (and don’t forget to add in the time you are also frustrated) from today, plus tomorrow, plus hundreds of tomorrows, suddenly the few minutes it takes to solve the cause of the frustration doesn’t seem to be that big of a deal.  We seem to just get used to those little frustrations, pushing them to the back of our min...

Text me your thoughts on the episode! “Overthinking is when what you think gets in the way of what you want.” There are so many wonderful things to be thinking about without overthinking the things that have already happened.  Things you can no longer do anything about.  Or overthinking what is going to happen, because all that does is cause worry over something that doesn’t exist.     Did you kno...

Text me your thoughts on the episode! When you focus in on what TRULY matters in your life, whatever is extra can fall away. The things that are what are important to you will float to the top. Everything else will get taken care of too but not before what gives you the most energy. What fills you with love and purpose is what will become your priority. It’s amazing when things narrow down, how le...

Text me your thoughts on the episode! We’re already busy enough. I don’t have time to DO more.  Do you?  Even if you did have more time, do you have the energy to DO more?  Time to be honest here. I want to do LESS of the things that aren’t helping get to what I want to accomplish.   Do LESS of the things that don’t help me FEEL like I want to feel. So, I thought, why don’t we break a bad habit in...

Text me your thoughts on the episode! If you describe a problem or a responsibility as a burden, you mean that it causes someone a lot of difficulty, worry, or hard work. If you lift something, you move it to another position, especially upwards.  So, if I was to put these two definitions together, I’d say that lifting a burden is to move a difficulty, or worry, upwards.  Overburdened No More Play...

Text me your thoughts on the episode! I believe that the most important thing you can be focusing on is right now.   Let what you desire to have happen add to the positive emotions you choose to feel now. It’s all a choice.   Yes, it really is. If you want to argue about that, just take a step back and look at what you’re trying to argue for.   How about just giving it a try. I know it’s lifted my...

Text me your thoughts on the episode! I googled overthinking, cuz why wouldn’t I, and this was the definition I found there: Overthinking is when you dwell or worry about the same thought repeatedly . People who overthink can be paralyzed by their worries and may struggle to make decisions or take action. Overthinking can be caused by — and can contribute to — depression, anxiety, and other mental...

Text me your thoughts on the episode! In Episode 37: What Scares You? I told you that I was headed back to Costa Rica.  I had an amazing opportunity to go again and take my sweetie with me, so I couldn’t pass it up.   Well, when I was there before, I gladly passed up the opportunity to do what they call the Tarzan Swing which is, in my opinion, a terrifying launch into a huge drop off, a basic fre...

Text me your thoughts on the episode! ”Essentialism makes us stop and reckon with the fact that we only have the time that we have, and we need to spend it as wisely as possible. On page 5, McKeown gives us a single-sentence definition: “It is about making the wisest possible investment of your time and energy in order to operate at our highest point of contribution by doing only what is essential...

Text me your thoughts on the episode! Let's be honest, it's that time of year when we’ve lost steam on those goals that we were ambitious about at the beginning of the year. It’s such a problem for most of us to keep that momentum going!   Me, not excluded! Why am I bringing this up in a community where a lot of us are already planners and journalers and goal setters and all of those kin...

Text me your thoughts on the episode! It’s taken a long time for me to learn this, but a weakness is just an opportunity for growth.  The more I share my weaknesses with others, the more I realize that I’m not alone.  EVERYONE has weaknesses.  There’s a lot of people who are a master of hiding them, but that doesn’t make it not true.  The more I share, the less hold that weakness has over me.  The...

Text me your thoughts on the episode! Could feeling like we have to do everything right now be adding to our feeling of being overburdened?   How can we still do all that we need to do and take away the burden? Let’s bring the emotion down a bit when we think about what we have to do and try to focus a bit more into the areas we actually have some control over and try starting there. That tricky m...

Text me your thoughts on the episode! We’re going to be doing a full book review at the end of the month but I wanted to put another plug in today for reading it so you’ll be ready for that episode.  I’d hate for you to miss out on some really great systems that are taught in this book that have helped me to simplify, which in turn has taken away from the things that make me feel overburdened. Boo...

Text me your thoughts on the episode! I ask you today, how can a small shift in your perspective change the way you feel? Who could you give the benefit of the doubt to? Could you take some shame away from judging yourself and turn it into a belief that the right thing is going to happen? When we allow a different thought to replace the one that is adding the feelings of being overburdened, it doe...

Text me your thoughts on the episode! You might wear a lot of hats but you don’t have to wear them all at once. No one can sustain that!!  You may be able to do it for awhile, but pretty soon, they all come crashing down. I heard the advice that I don’t have to wear all the hats all at once not too long ago and it was amazingly freeing to me! How many times have you been reminded that you wear a l...

Text me your thoughts on the episode! The purest act of self-love we can do for ourselves is in the way that we talk to ourselves. Talking to ourselves in a negative and belittling way is the most constant and damaging thing we can do.  It cancels out all of the other ways we try to do nice things for ourselves and it’s more powerful that anything other nice people say to us, even those we love th...

Text me your thoughts on the episode! I’ve been thinking recently about the things that cause me to feel overburdened. It’s really helped me focus in on why I do, what I do, and when I do it. I have some techniques that have really helped me to let go of the things that make me feel overburdened and decided to put them all together in one place and share them with you. Just note that I reserve the...

Text me your thoughts on the episode! When you feel a little down, a little sick, a little overburdened, what’s your first reaction? Do you slow down? Speed Up? Pretend everything is Ok or that the sky is falling down? I don’t think there is a right answer that covers everything 100% of the time. I do think we need to learn to listen to how we need to feel comfort. Not how someone else tells you t...

Text me your thoughts on the episode! There’s something very personal about what a person writes with. At least to me. I know the things that come out of a writing instrument. Some of the most personal things I’ve experienced have been expressed from my heart through a pen onto a page. Some of the strongest promptings from Heavenly Father came as I was writing.

Text me your thoughts on the episode! Here’s what I learned about Sadness. -It helps others to reach out to us and Sadness helps us to better recognize the joy. -Sadness creates the contrast to Joy that makes it possible to feel both deeper. -The only way to never feel sadness is to never feel love.  I don’t know about you, but I’m not willing to give up the love I have in my life.  - There is gre...
