Overcoming Obstacles Series-ONE-Feeling Overwhelmed

Moving through a BIG PROJECT 
in the past few months.
You- know- when you have an idea
 and then you keep shoving it back in the closet-
just hoping it will go away.
AND it just follows you around,
and around, and around.
While helping a daughter and family 
unpack from a move, 
I came across an article 
that has been helpful in the past month.
It was in a FITNESS magazine,
actually one for those IRONMAN athletes.
So I have been thinking about the
 7 suggestions and have found them helpful.
So decided to do this series- 
Overcoming Obstacles.
 Looking at the ideas- one by one.
Because WE ALL HAVE OBSTACLES.
Obstacle One-
Feeling Overwhelmed.

So this is when you don't 
even know where to start.
You take a deep breath,
and then another.
You can't map it all out.
It gets side-railed before you get started.
And that's the key- right?
Getting started.
The one thing to move you forward.
We have heard it multiple times-
"A journey of a thousand miles
 begins with a single step."
Lao Tzu
How to begin........
It is just that one action.
Take a single step.
As I work to build a framework
 for this new endeavor,
it is just that-
one step.

These verses have been part 
of my quiet, reflection time.

Psalm 17:5
My steps have held to your paths; 
my feet have not stumbled.
Psalm 37:23
The Lord makes firm the steps of the 
one who delights in him.
