012 What to do when you feel so overwhelmed

Are you feeling stuck? Maybe you have big goals for yourself and you just don't know where to start.  Or you're feeling overwhelmed by the many things you've tried that aren't working and you're just feeling stuck, how do we move through that?

The solution: You make ONE small decision.

"But that small decision won't give me quick, immediate results!"

Yes, I know.

You probably feel like you have to do something big, something dramatic, something that will for sure show you changes and immediate feedback because you want results right now.

Honestly, this just comes down to making a mental shift.  You have to be willing to do things differently.  You have to do the small adjustment and stick with it. You can't do the "small adjustment thing" but expect it to get the big adjustment results that the "dramatic adjustment thing" would.

For example, drinking water is the smallest, most powerful adjustment you can make to your daily routine. You hear it all the time, but have you put an effort into getting more every day? Drinking water improves digestion, energy, flexibility, mental clarity, metabolism, and many more positive benefits I know you're looking for.

However, drinking water is not going to produce quick weight loss or muscle gains so why do it if it's not quick and immediate?!  Because you HAVE to do the things that work for the body- not cheat the system looking for quick results.  

Other small adjustments:

• You can make a healthy breakfast instead of skipping that meal or eating fast food.
• You can cut out unnecessary sugar (soda, energy drinks, mid-day pick-me-up donut).
• You can add more greens to your meals.
• You can make sure you're eating the right about of proteins and carbs by asking a professional so you know what to do instead of guessing based on fad diets on the internet.
• You can cut down on alcohol if you're someone that "needs" a drink every night to de-stress (you can find other ways to de-stress).
• You can add in one quick workout or afternoon walk to your weekly routine. 

Don't try to do all those small adjustments at once, remember we're focusing on NOT feeling overwhelmed and working on simplifying this process.  Choose one thing, stick with that for a couple weeks, then add another.  You will be amazed by the magic that happens once you choose to do one small adjustment consistently... the motivation and changes will naturally start to happen and you won't feel so overwhelmed.

Trust the process!!
