This is about when life becomes unmanageable \u2013 for example there\u2019s a condition that threatens your sanity and it gets to the point that you are in serious discomfort. This is when you are feeling hopeless and overwhelmed and in a state of action-paralysis. When you don\u2019t know how to help yourself, you are in a state of fretting. Feeling overwhelmed and unable to think past how bad things are. So if you are in that state \u2013 feeling dread and hopelessness, this is for you. Hopefully the short increment will allow it to be applicable to you in those moments \u2013 so first things first. I want you to grab a paper and a pen. From this moment right now, you cannot see the solution but no matter how bad things are or have been for a long time \u2013 something that will help \u2013 exists. Part of the paralysis is believing in the sense of hopelessness because when actions don\u2019t impact your outcome repeatedly, we learn to believe it. We believe it\u2019s hopeless until it\u2019s not. The trick is to take the pain ONE notch down from what you\u2019re in now. When it comes to really dire, hopeless situations \u2013 chronic ones, you need dramatic big change. More than a simple tweak. More than a podcast. You need a big leap. You can\u2019t do this all on your own \u2013 you need to involve reinforcements. Today\u2019s podcast is dedicated to Catherine.
