The new phone I’d just purchased arrived broken. My daughter needed something urgently for her school function the next day. Technology taunted me mercilessly all day.
Also, I felt super tired. Overwhelmed. Grumpy.
In my line of work, Mondays are often really exciting. I love coaching. I love exploring where my business would like to go next. I love working from home.
So, I was annoyed that this Monday was being such a…Monday.
I went into action mode, engaging my habitual self-pressure thinking machine in order to override my emotions and get stuff done. This caused an instant heart-racing, choked feeling in my chest.
Screeeeeeeech! I hit the brakes.
I have a long-standing history of engaging the self-pressure override mode. It always, one-hundred percent of the time, consistently, definitely, for sure gets me in trouble. My body suffers. My spirit wanes. My heart resists.
I end up getting less done when I use self-pressure to spring into action.
I realized I couldn’t fall back into self-pressure mode.
Instead, I used this simple Slacker Magic formula, which I highly recommend for those times when everything is overwhelming and you don’t know where to start:
In the end, I got everything done that needed to get done, without the Monday overwhelm. Slacker Magic made it doable. I had time left over for some rest before I needed to go pick up my daughter from school. Slacker Magic for the win!
