Getting out of the mental twirl

I'm back at work today after a week off to go house hunting. We are in the beginnining stages of moving my family across the state and I ended up taking last week off unexpectedly. We had a great week and found a wonderful house just 2 miles from the beach. Everyone is excited about moving, in fact the kids started packing up their bedrooms this weekend without being asked! WooHoo!

Now it's Monday morning and I find myself back at work and frustrated. When I woke up this morning I was lying in bed thinking about my day and found myself in a twirl when I thought about work. I wasn't clear on what I wanted to do today, and I realized that most of my thoughts were steeped in frustration about what wasn't working.

When I saw the twirl I decided to stop it with my favorite tool - action. Instead of rolling around in those thoughts, or worse yet, descending further into frustration or anger, I took some simple action. I new I had to work on my websites today so I pulled out my computer and went on-line. It is facinating how things work. That simple step of going on-line took me to an inspirational website I like. This reminded me that I was going to apply to be on this site. That reminded me I was going to contact some other business owners about offering our book club to their clients. That reminded me..... You get the idea. Taking one simple step pulled me out of the twirl in my mind and got me back on a productive track.
