Even though I sometimes feel overwhelmed by productivity, I deeply and completely love, accept, and forgive myself.

Even though I often feel overwhelmed by productivity,

And I feel like there's too much to do and I can't keep up,

I still love, honor, accept and forgive myself.

Because I know this is a very common problem to have!

(top of the head)

I end up worrying about being productive enough.

And that worry turns into dread,

And that dread turns into FULL ON OVERWHELM

So much so, even the word “productivity” makes me feel overwhelmed!

And this overwhelm is taking a toll on me…

It makes it almost impossible to get anything done, and that just adds to the pile of worry, dread and overwhelm

I know that it is normal to have a never ending “to-do” list,

Because as long as we are living life, we will always have things to do!

But I've been struggling to find a balance,

Of getting things done, and letting things haunt me from that list

It’s just so overwhelming!

But it's okay to acknowledge this overwhelm…

It’s actually better that I acknowledge it

Because I can recognize its impact on my well-being.

I choose to address it.

And by addressing it, I can set it free—

I can release the overwhelm, and chose to live more in moment

Instead of thinking about what I “should have done” already

I can take each day by day,

Focusing more on what I can accomplish in a healthy way,

Rather on the list of what I haven’t accomplished

I can give myself grace.

I know that I’m a human being — not a human “doing”

And I need breaks, too

I am NOT a machine!

So I don’t have to feel bad about not crossing off everything on my to do list each week

I can give myself compassion for times I need more rest

Because being “productive” is SO PERSONAL

It doesn’t, and shouldn’t look exactly like everyone else—

And there’s nothing to feel bad about there!

In fact, I am releasing this negative energy attached to the word “productive”

Because it really can be triggering!

I am REWIRING this right now…

What if I could feel good about productivity?

I choose to bring that feeling in…

Productivity is getting things done in the timing that is best for me

Productivity is a positive force in my life!

And it looks however I want it to…

It helps me achieve my goals and dreams,

It helps me build confidence,

And it helps me practice self love and compassion

So I choose to embrace productivity with positivity.

I am in control of my tasks and time.

And I am still learning how much I can really accomplish

from the day to day and month to month

I am choosing to release the fear of not being productive enough.

Because I get to choose what is productive for ME

And I am capable of managing what is important to me.

I can choose to feel good about being productive

I don't need to feel overwhelmed by productivity

Because I am in control of my schedule and priorities,

And I choose to focus on what TRULY matters.

I can find a balance between work and play!

I can learn to work efficiently and enjoy life, simulatenously.

Balance truly is the key to a fulfilling life.

And letting myself get overwhelmed only made things worse

So I release the need for overwhelm.

I am finding balance and I feel good about productivity.

Taking each thing as it comes

And having compassion when things don’t “work as planned”

Because life is too short to be “sweating the small stuff”

And I deserve a beautiful life!

So right now I release overwhelm

I release overwhelm in my mind, body and soul

I release it at a cellular level

So I can choose to embrace productivity with positivity and balance.

I am embracing productivity as a positive force in my life,

helping me achieve my goals and dreams.

I am in control of my tasks and time,

and I choose to feel good about being productive without overwhelming myself.

Because I am here to live a beautiful life!

And I choose to do that for myself

And so it is
