“Many of us feel stress and get overwhelmed not because we’re taking on too much because we are taking on too little of what really strengthens us.” Marcus Buckingham

The lifestyles that we live can be so consuming and so overwhelming to the point that we become stressed, burnt out and less effective in life. Actually, such situations can force many of us to give up pursuing our dreams. If you are feeling overwhelmed or feeling like you are about to get swarmed by a busy and chaotic week you’ll enjoy this thought and practical advice.

Here is what I have learnt. Firstly, I believe that we have to keep those things that are important to us within our schedule. When we are busy it is easy to cancel these things first but these things are the fuel to keep us alive. I also believe that in these times when things become even busier than normal it is a great opportunity to cull the rubbish that has infiltrated our schedule. Keep the good and dispose of the bad.

There are a couple of thoughts on the opportunity that may come for an extra busy week. Don’t let it stop you from doing your work, let it be an opportunity to learn and become more effective in your life pursuit. Finally, make sure the reason you’re extra busy is aligned with your purpose and not due to someone else’s dreams or demands. Enjoy!
