Today's topic has been requested by Vanessa, one of my amazing peeps in the Own Your Awesome Facebook group here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/OwnYourAwesome/

Do you feel like you've got "too many competing thoughts, too few hours child-free?". Then you're not alone. It's easy to fall into the trap of having a to do list that's far too long, and trying to outrun time to fit everything in – only to feel overwhelmed and frustrated.

That is exactly when you need to pause. When you need to make space for the 'right' and aligned action to percolate. So, breathe into your body, do a meditation, go for a walk, read a chapter of a non-work book. And see how it makes you feel.

I also share how to choose to celebrate wins, however small, to reprogramme your sense of identity: from "I never finish it all" or "another day/week without having achieved anything really towards my goals", to "I've done well getting this/that done" and "Although I may not have achieved it all, what I've learned about myself is..." – with time, this type of looking for the positives and feeling grateful for all you do achieve, you set yourself up for success. One re-affirming thought at a time!

I've mentioned Elle J Tull again, who is a graphic designer near Reading, UK, and she is a shining example of doing what works for her: in her case, networking only, no online presence. And although she has moments of doubts, it works for her!
