There is just too much information to process.
Mark my words.
In the next journal of psychiatric malfunctions there will be a listing called TMID – Too Much Information Disorder.
I know this because I have it.
If you think you might be suffering from TMID too, here’s the cure:

Turn away. Trust this step. The stuff will still be there whenever you turn around. In fact, it will keep growing. If the idea of going cold turkey gives you withdrawal shakes, don’t worry. There is a line of eager info pushers ready to take your cash for a click load of crap to numb your anxiety day or night.
So for now, Turn Away.
All you need, you already have.
Walk away from the crowd and the noise and the drowning of the info machine.
What you are looking for isn’t there.
You already own it. You were just too distracted to notice.
You’ve been too busy learning how the other guy does it, racing to keep up with the ever-changing business models, wooed by another get rich quick scheme, and lists of 7 things….
Who can blame you?
You have mouths to feed, preferably with local organics, and debt to juggle, and your virtual social empire to placate, while you go green with pandemic updates, terrorizing your fear circuits, because you no longer cry over spilt milk, but oil destroying the gulf.
I’m taking a chance here that you are still with me and not weeping onto your keyboard.
Hold on. This is where it gets better.
Easier.
Kinder.
Richer.
Way more fun.
The only information you need to pay attention to comes from the voice of your inner knowing.
There are millions of people in the world to date but you could never get to them all. It’s the same for all the information to consume. You are never going to get to it all. Stop trying.
Instead, get clear about who you are, what matters most to you, and what you want. Filter. Let everything that’s not for you, go. Then like an attentive lover, pour your heart into only what you value.
Feel free to share three things you truly value in the comments below.
Declaring them out loud has a way of doing the filtering work for you.







1. I value authenticity…the ability to speak and write my truth, to be crazy silly and unabashedly honest, to be irreverent and woo at the same time.
2. I value love…not the sickly sweet syrup greeting card kind of love, rather the love that makes me say “Damn, this person shows me all of who they are and I want to share all of who I am too.” Call it friendship or passion if you desire, to me it’s all just love.
3. I value growth…the ability to see that I am learning, to see the beauty in this moment, and to look into the future and know that the sun will still shine.
and a bonus,
4. I value freedom…to type this into my computer with my left brain as my right brain is busy drawing pictures, illustrating my values with felt tipped markers on a big sheet of newsprint. Happy-Joy.
I value:
1. my time
2. my health
3. my personal environment
