Don't get Yourself all in a Tizzy

Today, this quote popped up on my Facebook feed from where I had shared it a few years ago. I don't know where from the internet I got it, but it was perfect timing. Last night I had to help a woman with a few different tasks. The tasks took hours, and would have taken less time if she wouldn't have "gotten in a tizzy." That is what we like to call it when someone starts to get frustrated and flustered.

It wasn't the easiest tasks to do, but it was necessary and had to be done no matter what. In life, that is a big part of goal setting, we have to start somewhere and usually the process of getting there can be frustrating. However, when we start to panic, and don't think clearly it can prolong what stage of the journey we are in. If you look at this chart in the photo, we could probably think of plenty of times we have gotten stuck in one of these places while working towards what we want. But we must stop our tizzy fits, pity parties, and stages of apathy to get where we want to go. Next time, you seem frustrated about the process of getting to your goal, stop and remind yourself that freaking out is only preventing you from getting to where you need to.
