Do you get overwhelmed by how much you have to do?  How much weight you have to lose?

Is the task so huge you find it’s hard to face and you feel the stress is too much when you think about what has to be done?

Times like that happen to us all. I’ve been there.  One of the techniques I have used is to remember the time management question, ‘How do you eat an elephant?’ and the answer, ‘One bite at a time.’

I do believe that effective time management is essential to be able to get your life into manageable stages and time management for me at least is essential to having released my excess weight and maintaining and fine tuning, toning my body.  I will begin writing time management articles in this blog, in mid September.

For now, keep in mind, whatever that overwhelming task is, you do not have to do it today.  You just have to do a small manageable action today, one you know you can do, one that will not stress you.  

Lets suppose you have to complete an overdue tax form and BAS statement and your feeling totally overwhelmed.  Just break this into small bites.  Say today, I will clean the desk top ready to begin preparing my tax.

You do not have to lose 50 kilo today.  You just have to eat healthy portion controlled foods that you love and be an active person.  One day, today, that’s all.  You can do that.  I can do that. J.   If the food you choose is food you love, if the activities you choose are ones you love, you will want to do the same thing tomorrow, and the next day, you will already be living as the slim person you want to become, you are that person, your body will catch up and become the slim person you are able to start living as, today. 

You have to believe you are the person you want to become.  The clean desk top creates the image of the competent home accountant and the living today as a healthy person will create for you the best healthy slim body you can achieve.    You are capable and beautiful NOW.

We can both 'do it today' :-)
