How can I overcome the feeling of overwhelm?
—Start by practicing self-compassion and recognizing that processing emotions is important. Break tasks down into smaller, manageable steps and focus on building momentum rather than relying solely on motivation.
What if I'm struggling with both motivation and task initiation?
—It's important to differentiate between the two. Motivation is the awareness and belief that a task is worth doing, while task initiation refers to taking the first step. If you're struggling with both, start with small actions and build momentum from there.
How can I be kinder to myself when I feel overwhelmed?
—Practice self-compassion by being understanding and gentle with yourself. Remind yourself that it's okay to prioritize self-care and take breaks when needed. Avoid self-judgment and focus on progress, not perfection.
What are some practical strategies for making tasks more accessible?
—Consider using tools or devices that can help simplify tasks, such as grabbers or wheelie stools. Break tasks down into smaller, manageable steps and create a system that works for you. Prioritize and delegate tasks when possible.
How can I build momentum and stay motivated?
—Start by taking small, actionable steps towards your goals. Celebrate each achievement, no matter how small, to maintain motivation. Create a routine or schedule that aligns with your energy levels and sets you up for success.
