"A to B in 15 minutes"
This was from a documentary about an injured mountain climber. Instead of looking at how far he had to go horribly injured from a fall on a mountain into a crevase, blizzard like conditions, he would look at his watch and and tell himself, "I will go from A to B in 15 minutes. " He credits having that watch and taking those small steps in getting him back to his base camp and to help.
I am not in a blizzardy mountain crevase with broken bones struggling to save my own life...but when I look at the big picture, my own "mountain", the fear can be paralyzing. My therapist told me that story and it has changed how I am approaching this. I am setting time for smaller tasks to get through the bigger picture. It has halped my focus, it has helped me find direction and it will bring me through the bigger picture.
A to B in 15 minutes. Life changer.
