http://positivetranceformations.com.au/blog/using-lists-to-help-you-sort-your-life-out Writing down tasks to be done can help you prioritise tasks, and if your To Do list is too long, it helps you realise that you might need to make some changes to avoid burnout. Gratitude lists and lists of goals can also help you have a positive attitude and take control of your life.

1. Using Lists To Help You Sort Your
Life Out

2. One of the fundamental principles of
hypnotherapy is that changing your
thinking is vital if you want to change
your life.

3. Too often, we have bad mental habits
and a lot of this negative thinking can
overflow into stress and then into other
bad habits and problems.

4. A lot of people don’t realise how bad
thinking habits and mental disorder can
have such a negative effect on their
lives until they get a problem such as
anxiety or depression.

5. Nearly all of the problems that people
hope to have fixed via hypnosis stem
from negative thinking and mental
clutter – yes, even smoking and weight
loss!

6. How many times have you turned to
chocolate, a bottle of red wine or a
packet of cancer sticks when you feel
overwhelmed and like your life is
chaotic?

7. Beating the chaos can help to address
these problems.

8. Lists are fantastic ways to get
organised and to help you overcome
some of those feelings of chaos in your
life. They can also help you
master stress, which is the root cause
of a lot of problems.

9. Writing things down and listing them
helps you get a grip on things – even
the biggest task and biggest problem
seems smaller when you can write it
down.

10. I’m thinking of a woman I know. Not
that long ago, she was feeling
overwhelmed by having three
deadlines at work as well as a number
of social and family commitments that
had to be honoured.

11. She had learned to recognise the
imminent signs of too much stress and
potential panic.

12. Most of her self-talk went along the
lines of “I can’t do all this – I don’t know
how I’m going to fit it all into one day – I
don’t think I’m going to be able to cope
with all of this.”

13. That loop of self-talk was getting worse
and worse, and was threatening to
send her into total panic – which would
have meant that she wouldn’t have got
the work done that she needed to, in a
bit of a self-fulfilling prophecy.

14. Obviously, in this case, booking in for a
session of hypnotherapy was out of the
question in a busy day like this, but my
friend needed to find a way to master
the stress and the pressure.

15. Lists were the answer.

16. When she wrote down exactly what she
had to do, it didn’t seem like quite so
much.

17. There were only four tasks that simply
had to be done and couldn’t be
reprioritised or delegated.

18. After all, she realised, her children were
old enough to cook dinner for
themselves, so if she had to bring work
home and work late, the family would
still be able to eat.

19. And some of those deadline jobs didn’t
take as long as she thought they would,
and once one was out of the way, the
rest didn’t seem so daunting.

20. This was a case of using a to-do list
and prioritising the items on it, and then
getting them done in order of priority

21. Prevent stress and anxiety by sorting
out your life with smart to-do list.
