Whoa! 2011 has gotten off to an incredible start. The number of things that have taken place, for me, in the 33 days since the New Year is absolutely incredible. So much has gone on, that a couple of times, I’ve found myself slipping in to a state of overwhelm, where it’s felt like there is too much going on. And whenever I start feeling that way I remember what Bob Proctor, one of my first mentors used to say to me, don’t slow down, just calm down.
Oh ya! Forgot about that for a second….
Calming down for me looks like:
- Sit down
- Breathe
- Write (moleskin, I love you)
- Prioritize
- Delegate (Stephanie, I love you)
- Defer
- Do
If you’re like me and the flood gates of goodness seemed to have opened – don’t slow down….just calm down.

Heather, great advice! I love this quote from Mario Andretti….
“If everything seems under control, you’re just not going fast enough.”
