InnerSelf's Daily Inspiration
February 22, 2024
The focus for today is:
I evaluate what's most important and essential for today.
Today's inspiration was written by Jude Bijou:
If you are overwhelmed by your responsibilities, make a list of issues, responsibilities, and projects that need your attention. Then break big topics into a series of simple little pieces so you can attend to one manageable thing at a time.
The key to minimizing fear and life's tasks is to take the time to get organized everyday. For each task you take on, start by articulating your goal. With that in mind, break the desired goal into a series of little doable steps. Each step must be made small enough so you know you can finish it in one day.
If you keep an ongoing list of exactly what needs to be done by when, you can evaluate what's most important and essential for today. Consult your intuition to clarify priorities. Put your list in an obvious place so you can see it. Then just do what's next.

Today's inspiration was adapted from the InnerSelf.com article:
How to Stop Feeling Overwhelmed and Start Feeling Calm
Written by Jude Bijou.

This is Marie T. Russell, co-publisher of InnerSelf.com, wishing you a day of doing what's important and essential (today and every day)
Comment from Marie: I have a tendency to get caught up in the details, and then don't get to the important things that need to be done. As with everything, balance is important. We need to take care of the details, but also accomplish the goal that we have set for the task at hand.
Our focus for today: I evaluate what's most important and essential for today.
