How to Cope with Too Many Things To Do
1. Don’t Analyze
The first tool for coping with too many things to do is to pay attention to your ideas. As inspiration and visions come over you, write them all down, without analyzing them.
It’s important that you learn to come back to your center and not act on every impulse you receive.
Note down the inspiration that comes to you without judging it if you can make it or if it makes sense. And without the need to start right away.
I know that all the ideas may feel equally important and legit at the moment, but it’s not always the case. Moving through life while staying in our center and inner balance is the way how to navigate the influx of creative ideas.
2. Is It True For You?
The second step is to ask yourself whether the idea is true for you. Or whether you have picked it up from someone else.
We can pick up excitement and ideas from other people and believe that they belong to us.
For instance, you may have a very inspiring friend. Your friend asks you about your project or ideas, and as you talk about them, you pick up on their excitement.
Suddenly, you start to see yourself through the eyes of your always inspired friend, and for some time, you start to play with the idea to start a new project that is more a reflection of them rather than you. But since this isn’t your path to follow, you feel stuck because it doesn’t flow for you.
The mind feels the same whether the excitement is yours or you have picked it up from someone. This is especially the case for empaths.
So, once you’ve written down your ideas, the second step is to take time to figure out whether they’re actually for you. (I talk more about jumping on someone else’s timeline in the video).
3. Choose Your Timeline
When you have too many things to do, you may feel like you need to do them all at once. But this isn’t the case.
For an idea to be successfully brought into reality, it needs to sit with you at all levels. It shouldn’t feel overwhelming to the point of taking you out of balance.
Take a while to sit with your goals and feel into each of them to see if they’re aligned with you and also to see if they’re aligned with your timeline.
Not everything is meant to be acted on right away.
When we birth new energy in our lives, it should feel light. If there is pressure, then it might not be the right timing or too much ego (the fear of failure or success, for instance) is present, and it first needs to be cleared out.
Allow yourself to work within your timeline. Play with each goal to see if it sits well on the timeline of the upcoming year(s). If you feel the lightness and it excites you, then you’ve found the right portal to birth your goals into life.
You are the steward of your life, don’t rush it. Don’t squeeze yourself or make promises that you can’t fulfill. Don’t wait. Find the perfect timing that is aligned with your soul’s journey and energy levels.
