When overwhelmed with too many thoughts, ideas, or even problems, use my Fear-Free Tip #40: The Boxing Tool.

Many business people are highly intelligent and have a mind that works overtime. You find yourself working on one project, and competing ideas keep intruding into your thinking. Sometimes stressful thoughts about unsolved problems keep clamoring for your attention. You then find yourself feeling frustration and anxiety and have trouble concentrating on the project in front of you. If this rings true for you, try my Boxing Tool.

Step 1: Take control of your thinking (think about your thinking).

Step 2: Instead of fighting the intrusive thought, acknowledge the intrusive thought ("I hear you and you are important")

Step 3: Give it a priority number (just like those "take a number" machines).

Step 4: Imagine putting the thought into a Box.

Step 5: Tell yourself you will open the box and focus on that intrusive thought at a specific time in the future.

Step 6: Also tell yourself (and the thought-in-a box) that you will focus on the thought for a specific amount of time ( e.g., 15 minutes).

Step 7: Go back to focusing on your original project. Keep your promise to the intrusive thought.

The intrusive thought may, at first, keep popping back into your mind. Again, just recognize it and put it back into the box. Remind "it" that you will focus on it at the specified time. Once you have used this process several times and have kept your promises to the thoughts-in-a box, your mind will find it easier and easier to control these intrusive thoughts.

May you live and work fear-free!
