If there’s one word to encapsulate how I’ve felt over the past year, it would undoubtedly be overwhelmed.
I’m inundated with conference calls, online classes, endless homework, and children who seem to be perpetually present and chattering. I feel the immense pressure of keeping my family healthy, the frustration stemming from political turmoil, and the heartache for those facing hardships. Social media conflicts, never-ending chores, and sheer exhaustion add to this weight. At times, I’m so buried beneath it all that I feel paralyzed. It’s akin to that moment in a movie where characters stand on the edge of an abyss, screaming into the storm. It can feel like everything else is out of reach.
During these moments, I remind myself of a simple phrase I once came across: “Do one good thing.” I can’t recall where I first heard it, but it’s become my lifeline. This advice is particularly valuable in times of chaos because it doesn’t dictate what to do first or how to prioritize; it simply encourages you to take action in a positive way.
When I’m racing through chaotic mornings, juggling tasks like brewing coffee, preparing lunches, starting the laundry, emptying the dishwasher, and tackling endless emails, I often feel my mind spiraling. I can easily get lost in deciding what to do first. But then I tell myself to pause: Just do one good thing. Then another. And another.
This mantra is equally effective when grappling with the broader issues in the world. I can easily become overwhelmed by the choices of where to donate or how to advocate for important causes, leading to a cycle of self-doubt. Remembering the mantra helps me break free. Just do one good thing. Then another. And another.
While there are times when it makes sense to strategize and plan, for most situations, many paths can lead to the same outcome. Focusing too much on finding the “perfect” way can inhibit action. Instead, just do one good thing, then keep going.
The beauty of this approach is its versatility; it applies to everything from managing hectic mornings to dealing with work stress and making a positive impact in the world. I’ll admit, it’s not groundbreaking advice, but it’s effective. It prevents the paralysis that comes from feeling overwhelmed and keeps me moving forward. Sometimes, that’s all we need.
