Hi Tess, I love your ideas to release fear and overwhelm. I also like to take several short breaks during the day where I meditate or simply relax for a few minutes and completely let go of everything that’s somehow related to work or business – this really helps a lot.

It’s a huge success to simply say to yourself that you’re FINISHED for the day and that you did a good job even if you didn’t finish the entire to do-list, because, like you said, it’s impossible. Love this idea! Will journal weekly success tonight.

I second this awesome advice, Tess. I’ve been keeping a journal as part of my evening routine for some time now and it has really helped me focus on the right things. What I do is write down my biggest lessons and quotes, 1-3 I’m proud of and 3 things I’m grateful for. Research has shown that doing these kind of simple exercises can actually rewire your brain to scan the world for the positive, rather than the negative, first. And a positive mindset is linked to all kinds of awesome effects such as increased happiness, learning, memory and even better health and increased longevity.

Eeek. I need to take your advice and go to bed at a decent hour. Kindly insert comma between journal and fairy. Or maybe I just need to let typos go…

Dear Tess,

It’s so true that there are endless things that could be done in the blogosphere. We have to have the good sense to stop or we’ll just exhaust ourselves. I love the way you link this to the idea of keeping a success journal! It feels so encouraging to focus on what we’ve accomplished rather than to fret on what’s left undone. I love this idea!
