Ease the unease

I've not been in a good place today and it's made me do some real soul searching.

In there are all the little niggly things that 'should' be deal with and that are hanging over my head. They're things that are not top in prioritising and so get shunted up and down the list but they come back to cause unease on a regular basis.

What are the niggly things in your life? Whar are you piutting up with? What are you tolerating? Yes, you.

I'd be really surprised if you said nothing. In fact I'd be in awe of you and want to know how you do it because in my experience most of us are tolerating a whole list of things.

It's likely to be things like - the screw that needs put back in place; that ‘space’ that needs clearing out; the lamp that needs fixing, the email you need to send.

For me, at the moment they include - the pump for the table fountain that needs finding so I can get it working, the article I need to write, the paperwork that needs sorting and the lamp that needs fixing. These things creep up on me regularly and they take up space in my head and drain my energy. How good would I feel to have them out of my way and out of my head?

So, here's a suggestion - make a list of all the things that you know you are tolerating and then make an action plan to deal with them. One by one or a couple at a time and 'do it'.

Just imagine how good it will feel to have ticked them all of the list and how proud you'll be of yourself for doing it. You’ll feel successful, in control and energised.

OK, off you go and feel free to post your achievements.

OK, you got me. The list is HUGE, but I put several of them on my to-do list for today, and I know I'll feel GREAT when I get them done.

Thanks for the kick in the backside. You're right - they're draining energy I don't want to waste on this stuff.
