Turtle Steps Add Up (Day 23 of 30)

Ever feel stuck on a project and unable to move forward? A feeling of overwhelm kicks in and you don’t know how to get unstuck?

It happened to me in a couple times this Fall in my business - it’s uncomfortable. Not where I wanted to be when my goal was massive action.

The first thing I did was check in with my thoughts. What feelings were they creating and as a result what actions were they fueling? Were they in alignment with the results I was trying to achieve? In this case, this wasn’t the issue.

It turns out what I needed to do was break down my actions into smaller more digestible steps than originally envisioned. I was trying to take on too much at once, and freezing as a result.

Once I chunked the projects into smaller steps, put them on the calendar and stopped looking at the overall grand goal (which was what was overwhelming me), I was able to start taking meaningful action. These “turtle steps” added up and created momentum that eventually led to the completion of my goals.

These steps were often so small I had to be careful not to discount them. But honoring them eventually got the projects done. It was what it took to walk me through some uncomfortable tasks. Thoughts are important but don’t discount the power of turtle steps too!
