These are my personal opinions always seek a professional when you're making choices about your mental health and well-being.

Sometimes situations are so detailed in their challenges.

Sometimes there are so many components to a problem or multiple problems in a situation, then it can be

difficult to know where to begin, to know how to even start thinking about what to do next,

what to tackle first. I mean, my general philosophy regarding overwhelm is to do one thing.

Just do one small thing first and say, I did it.

I accomplished it.

It gets it off the table.

I got that concept probably from Dave Ramsey in his snowball, his debt snowball thingy.

What's it called? When you get out of debt, you pay off the smallest bill first, even though in the

past I used to pay off the big bills. I would put all my money toward the big bills, like credit card

debt, for example.

But Dave Ramsey, talk show guy, radio guy, financial guy, very wealthy. I used to listen to him a lot.

And he would talk about the debt snowball, which is basically you pay off the smallest debt first.

And you get a sense of accomplishment.

You've done it.

You've taken care of it.

You might think, oh, it's only $19 a month.

So I'm just going to pay off this big one and I can just keep paying that small one.

But what ends up happening is that you end up saving money from those small accomplishments

and putting, you're able to put more money to the next big one or the next one in line.

So it goes from small to the one that's next in line.
