In my mind, the fact that many people don't yet understand the full value of coaching is a wonderful opportunity! BTW, I recently got to meet the famous K2 and learn a bit about the Golden Flow System. Great stuff! Hi Julia,

I appreciate reading what you have to say. It's unfortunate that more people do not understand the benefits of coaching. Keep up the good work.

I'm reminded of a day I spent in the fabulous Art Institute in Chicago. I was delighted and awed by the wonderful art, spending hours drinking in the images until, overwhelmed by so much input I ended up literally rushing past a gallery of Rembrandts, shocked by the idea that I was passing them by but literally unable to take in any more. Everyday in my inbox, among my great friends on Facebook, contacts on Twitter and other wonderful sources, like most of us, I am offered a truly magnificent assortment of knowledge, art, community and ideas. After a while of finding it enormously overwhelming I relaxed and saw it as a way to become clear about my values, needs and intentions. I've decided to focus on clarity of intention, joyfulness and positivity--and allow law of attraction to bring me the things I need. It’s taken me ’til today, three weeks after your post, Paul, to read it, as I have been working my way through my in box and happily unsubscribing from lots of great things to make room for the several ones I really do want to focus on, like your mailings. :-D

LOL. Great points Karen. How we relate to time has ripple effects to everything we do. Advanced concept for some but one well worth exploring. I've been enjoying a very spacious relationship with time lately and have been making some different decisions from that place. For instance, I'm moving in the direction of doing more group work - much higher leveraging of my time than individual work. Gracie: YW. Yes, there certainly are a LOT of overwhelmed humans these days .. Karen: Are you adding to my reading list again? LOL. Great points Karen.

Don't you just love how business can be such a catalyst of personal and spiritual growth? And as we grow, we can succeed more in business. Mairi: YW. I'm glad this is helpful. As I say in the post, I have quite a history with struggle and stuckness. Please do keep us updated. Stacey: Glad this is helpful. Scattered with wonderful projects is actually a great place to be. In this case, see if you can use the tools suggest in the post to increase your ability to focus. For instance, write about how good it feels to have such wonderful projects. Appreciate them and then explore how good it feels when you start to focus on one project. Appreciate the progress you make. And when you do complete one - appreciate the heck out of it.

I've been working with college aged people who are overwhelmed. Also, the way the economy has a lot of people overwhelmed. Thank you again for more tools to help. This is indeed very timely.

This is one I've been focusing on lately and it has done an enormous amount to reduce my feelings of overwhelm. Most of us run around saying "I just don't have enough time to _______ ". Well, guess what - LOA in action :) Whenever I catch myself in overwhelm mode, I remind myself "I have plenty of time to do everything I need and want to do." There is an *AWESOME* chapter in Gay Hendricks' latest book _The Big Leap_ called "Einstein Time" - the whole book is great; this chapter alone makes it a life-changer! In a nutshell, YOU create YOUR OWN time - so you can always choose to create plenty for whatever it is you want to do :) Paul, to your excellent list I would add “Redefine your relationship with time.” This is one I’ve been focusing on lately and it has done an enormous amount to reduce my feelings of overwhelm.
