Hey everyone, its Adrian on day number two of the project I announced yesterday, which is I’m going to share with you, whatever I’m doing to create an Online Business. And I wanted to share with you a little bit of the plans I had. But I think the second subject I had in mind, or what actually happened this morning, will be much more fruitful for anyone that is probably in the same situation or has been already or know that situation and just wants to have a solution. I experienced this morning, that problem of overwhelm, you know, feeling highly overwhelmed by everything I could should not be doing, and haven’t really managed to get quickly into my zone, which I normally do. Full disclosure here I am a GTD trainer, right? So my job is to help people get productive and doing that stress free. Now, does that mean that I never get stress-free ? Not at all we all do, which makes me a great coach, because I experienced this myself. But I wanted to share with you how today was quite special, I realized something I could actually put in words. So the first thing we do normally when we feel overwhelmed when we’re highly stressed, when we have too much in our head is to do what we call a mind sweep in the GTD community. Mind sweep is what? take a pen, take a piece of paper and write everything that is in your head. Whether that be important, not important, urgent, not urgent, doesn’t matter. You write everything on paper as fast as you can. And as much as you can. Try it out, take five or 10 minutes or 15 minutes. Try it out. And you’ll see it work wonders. So that’s always step number one.
But I struggle with step number two, which is, I think something quite fascinating. So what did I do concretely I called I called my mentor. And second I called my wife. And my experience is every single time I reach out to someone and expressly because I’m overwhelmed, I’m feeling under the weather, every single time I do so, I feel better. Right after that. If it’s not the first call, it’s the second call, but I keep on calling. As long as I’m feeling under the weather. It works 100% of times, every single time in my experience, so far, it has worked. But here’s the funny thing. Although it works, although my mind knows, understand it works every single time I have to overcome myself to call isn’t that strange? You have a solution, you know, works. But every single time you have difficulty applying it. And think there are no coincidences, because that is what all applying spirituality is about. We understand so much here cognitively. But unless we do things we don’t know them. I understand theoretically it will help me but in that moment, it feels shitty to reach out. It’s uncomfortable to say to someone I need help. It’s uncomfortable to put in words what I’m experiencing, I just want to shut down I just want to close my eyes. I just want to I don’t know binge watch Netflix. I want to smoke or do something that actually won’t help but will hurt me. Although I know it will hurt me it’s much more tempting. I don’t know if that’s true for you as well. I know now a few people that will resonate with so here we go.
First step, put everything on paper, everything that is in your mind.
Step number two, overcome yourself and reach out to someone and say just that. “Not feeling fun, feeling under the weather”. say as well: “I don’t need all your opinion on that. I just need you to listen”. And just go, just speak your mind. And you’ll see you’ll get out of your head and things will start to shine again. So that’s me for today.
Quick note though, on what I’m doing currently I am working on the course material. I’m developing the first module of that notion of how you can overcome yourself. So it’s developing a method of how to stop self sabotaging yourself. I’ll be speaking more and more to that subject and detailing more and more once it gets created. Because full disclosure, I’m creating this stuff I’m taking from everything I can from other people. I’ve read fascinating things, but I’m pulling it together, pouring in all my experience pouring in all the interviews I’ve made with many clients, and we’ll see where that will lead us. That’s one thing I’m creating. And the second thing is I need the support where I can actually put the course in. That support will be a website. Now I’m scared shitless to do a website, I’ve been stalling for I think at least six months now, I have a domain. But I haven’t really gone far with my site. That’s on the agenda for this week. And I hope I’ll be shooting this on Friday, but I should commit myself.
I’ll be shooting it on Friday, and we’ll see where this will take us. I wish you a wonderful day. live up to your potential and I’ll be seeing you tomorrow on day number three Cheers.
