Sometimes I get stuck. When I'm in the middle of a mess or a crisis, I often get or feel paralyzed and can't seem to make a decision or take action.
It might not even be that big a problem; sometimes I'm just worn out from having made a million decisions already that day. One more thing to decide or do just feels like one too many.
Not doing anything adds another layer of stress, of course, and that stress ramps up my anxiety. The best way out of a mess or out of overwhelm is actually pretty straightforward.
Just do the next right thing. Notice I said "thing," not "things." Pick one thing, one thing only.
It can be a teeny-tiny thing that barely moves the needle on the issue, but at least it will move you from stuckness. Let your gut guide you as to what that thing should be.
