Feeling incredibly lost and like life isn't going anywhere

You know that feeling when everything in your life is going right? Things are easy, you’re in flow, everything you do just seems to work out.

My life is not like that at the moment. In fact for the past four months it’s been fairly chaotic, with challenges and up’s and down’s that have left me hoping to get through the day without any new issue to deal with. Basically it’s not be fun and I feel like I’m so far from all my BIG DREAMS. I’m frustrated and fed up. Can you relate?

What’s keeping you stuck at the moment? What do you wish you were doing?

I’m desperate to finish my novel. I feel like I’ve been working on it forever and I’m not making any progress. Or at least I am but I can’t see it, I’m too close.

That’s why I’ve decided to get out one of my Celebrate & Create Achievement Art pictures and use it to help get me back on track, or at least to feel like I do have some control over my BIG DREAM and that I am making it happen. Even if it is in teeny, tiny steps.

What BIG DREAM are you working towards? Or wish you were working towards? Need some help getting out of the rut? Then why not join me and we can start achieving our dreams together.

Break down the BIG DREAM

Manageable Steps

Finishing my novel, even completing this draft feels impossible, there's so much I need to do. I have a tendency to get overwhelmed by the big picture and then lost in the details, so I’m using the Magical Mermaid picture to break it down into manageable steps.

It seemed the perfect picture to choose because I feel I’m exploring the depths of my life, my dream and my creativity.

I put in the first steps I could think of, easy-ish work like revising chapters in my second draft.  I've also made notes of things that won't make sense to anyone else; but I know what I need to do and they'll act as a reminder and prompt.

I've put in some bigger goals too, like 'Make editor revisions'. I know this will probably be a poster in itself, with more steps involved; but it helps me to keep track of the overall goal and To Do's.

I've also left lots of spaces free, I know there are steps towards finishing my novel I haven't even though of yet, so I can add them in when I get to them.

By breaking it down into chapters I know that I can do them relatively quickly and start seeing the progress I'm genuinely making; but not recognising. The aim is to get two chapters revised a week.

I'll let you know how I get on and I'll also be Instagraming, Tweeting and Facebooking my progress using the #celebratecreate.

Want to join me? I'd love to help you make your BIG DREAM come true too.
