“Are you overwhelmed? – Try the 5 D’s” by Cynthia A. Lovely

A WORD – Goal: something you are trying to do or achieve.

We’re already into March and I’m wondering how some of those New Year resolutions are working out for everyone. Instead of resolutions, I try to set goals. Resolution or goal, life still catches up and throws me off balance. Thinking about all the areas I hope to be productive in and feeling like I’m failing in each and every one. I’m finding myself overwhelmed and frustrated.

Work, church, home, people, events, circumstances….AHHHH! Am I the only one who feels this way?

Time to take a deep breath and set new, simple goals. Yes, must simplify to make it reasonable and doable.

  • Devotion: Jesus first. Every day with praise, prayer and the Word.
  • Declutter: Small tasks around the house, every little bit counts.
  • Delve: into writing. Get the words on paper, even if its short. Just write.
  • Discover: new friends, new places, new experiences. Make time for people.
  • Daydream: break for a rest. Take a walk, read a magazine, mail a greeting card, make a phone call.

Do you have a simple plan to set new goals?

Will you join me in the 5-D plan?

  1. Love your 5-D plan, Cynthia! I need to incorporate all five a little every day as I’m buried in writing deadlines! Thank you for a great post I needed today!

  2. Rebecca,
    So glad it helped you! I think the key is what you stated, “a little every day.”

  3. I love all of the D’s in your plan Cynthia, and my life would be much better if I could actually implement them every day. Only with the Lord’s help is this possible, as you know!

  4. Kathleen,
    I think the secret is to aim for mini goals and work your way up. Every little bit of progress helps. Thanks for stopping by!
