If you do the things you've always done, you'll get the results you've always gotten.
Questions must be answered. Ask your "computer" brain for more negative answers and it will provide this to you. Ask for positive things and it also can't stop.
Tony Robbins' Six Human Needs: certainty, uncertainty, significance, love, growth, contribution
Robbins' Classes of Experiences: feels good, good for you, good for others, serves the greater good. Transform Class 2 experiences into Class 1 experiences. Throw away Class 3 and Class 4
Helpless: Get some control back by making your bed. It's at least one thing you can control and one accomplishment you made today
Disorganized: Four Daily Tasks: write down those quick goals. Break your problem down into component parts.
Alarmed: Play it out to the logical conclusion. As in, if you're worried about money, take it to the most extreme conclusion. Will you be homeless? No, then it's not super terrible.
Indifferent/Unmotivated: Journal what you're feeling: sounds cheesy and is time consuming but works as a makeshift therapist. Combine something you don't like to do with what you do like to do, like play music while writing.
Lonely: Be more social, find a mastermind or mentor
Annoyed & Negative: Redirect Automatic Negative Thoughts and Absolutes ("this always happens"). Ask yourself, what's good about this or what could be good about this?
Depressed: smile, laugh, change your usual "predictable" reaction. Confuse your mind and break out of that pattern. Be careful with the "negative" words you use.
Bored: Move to a new location. Get your writing done in a coffee shop today, with a laptop and no charger
Distracted: shut out noise and create boundaries. Develop better habits, i.e. not checking FB, stats, email when you get bored. Separate the forest from the trees to get that clarity.
Conclusion: which is the reason you feel overwhelmed?
a. you perform best under pressure (you need a way to relax and unplug but this mode works for you): tweak those deadlines so it's interesting but you deliver on time b. you're worried of what others think: do your best, you do you. You need more confidence which you get as feedback from your victories. c. you simply can't decide: scale down so that you make lots of small decisions (i.e. just decide on the book title)
