- Don’t make a list. The writing of lists leads to a sense of satisfaction and control and the falsehood that you have achieved something.
- Do one thing that you have been procrastinating. It could be as small as replying to an email or reading a book. DO IT NOW.
- Do an eye-open meditation on a memory of you on a good day — jumping out of an airplane, learning to drive, winning an award, publishing a book — remember you are the same person still.
- Say (and believe)— it’s ok if I can’t do everything today, there is still tomorrow and the day after that. It is more important to do what you can, than to berate yourself for what you haven’t done.
- You are all the positive reinforcement and validation you need. You are the proof and the pudding. (How’s that for an affirmation!).
- Remember all things are cyclical — when you freeze again, re-read this.
Happy un-freezing to you and to me.
