Have you ever felt overwhelmed by tasks that, in truth, stem from your own success?
These are what we call 'high class problems' – minor issues or inconveniences that arise from having an abundance of something highly desirable. It's like feeling swamped by too many party invitations because you're loved and appreciated – a good "problem" to have!
Today, as I signed a towering stack of over 300 books and faced a deluge of mailings, I was living a 'high class problem.' It wasn't just busy work; it was a sign of abundance in my career.
Celebrate Your Abundance
Let's start by recognizing these moments as celebrations of success. They are affirmations that we've done something right.
Shift Your Narrative
I consciously shifted my inner dialogue from "I have to" to "I get to," embracing these opportunities. This isn't just semantics; it's a profound shift in attitude that defines mental fitness.
Nurture Mental Fitness
With every book signed, I practiced emotional intelligence, reminding myself that this wasn't a chore but a chance to connect, to inspire, and to make a difference. It's about finding meaning in our actions and letting that drive us.
Seek Inspiration in Every Action
Consider the ripple effect of your actions. While handling what may seem like mundane tasks, remember: there's someone out there who will find joy, inspiration, or solace in what you're providing.
