The best way to catch up on stuff when you have fallen behind is by not focusing on catching up.
Do you ever experience times in your life when you have fallen behind? Do you ever experience times when you feel you have fallen behind in everything? I think we all know how that feels. It is an overwhelming feeling. You feel as though you have to work on everything at once.
It is so exhausting mentally because when you try to work on one thing, you have all the other things running through your head at the same time. Here is a lovely technique to shift that energy from overwhelming to calming.
Make a list of all those things you are behind on. Stare at the list and think about the projects before you. Now pick one. Ideally pick one of the smallest ones. Make a plan to work ahead of schedule on that one project. Now do it.
Take your focus away from “catching up” and focus on getting ahead. Work that one project ahead of schedule and feel the energy of that. Focus your mind as often as you can on what you have just accomplished. When you are ready to tackle another project that you are “behind on,” remind yourself that you are ahead on something else.
The energy can shift around all the projects on that list. In fact, go ahead and write down on the list next to the first project you worked on… write “ahead of schedule!”
You will actually feel great relief. Keep your focus as much as possible on the item you are ahead on, and soon you will find you are ahead of schedule on another project, and then another.
You recall that the Law of Attraction states that what you focus your attention on expands. If you want being behind to expand in your life, then focus on being behind and catching up. If you want being ahead to expand in your life, then focus on being ahead. It is as simple a choice as that. And it really works.
It is all a matter of focusing your thoughts. Try it, and watch the magic happen.
