Redesign Your Life - One Imperfect Step at a Time

Close the Loops: Simple Actions to Ease Overwhelm

Lynn Grogan | Certified Life Coach Episode 32

In this episode, I share a simple yet powerful suggestion I recently gave to one of my clients who was feeling stressed: close the loops you can. When life feels overwhelming, it’s not always about finding a huge, life-changing solution. Instead, it’s about identifying those small, lingering tasks that are within your control, and taking action on them.

We’ll explore:

  • How “open loops” can amplify stress.
  • How closing even one or two loops can free up mental space.
  • Practical examples of what this could look like in your life, from deciding on a gift to delaying a decision until you have more capacity.

Big stress doesn’t always need a big solution—sometimes, it’s the small things that create the most relief.

Take a few minutes today to identify and close 3-5 loops in your life and close them. It’s a simple step you can take to create more breathing room in your mind and ease the overwhelm.
