Big problems are like apples

We all have problems, and some of them big.

Think of this problem like a big, juicy, tasty golden delicious apple (or whatever big handfruit takes your fancy). Mmmm - looks good doesn't it?

Now take said apple/fruit and cram the entire thing into your mouth at once. Not so enjoyable now is it?

Now bring the pain

We were just talking about having too much of something we like, now think about doing the same with something you don't like.. A massive onion or a swede - or 1 million brussels sprouts. The situation has just gone from "not-enjoying it" to "OMG I think I am gonna throw up/die".

Not good.

Stop taking the big bites

The tasty fruit is best enjoyed by taking medium-sized bites. If your bites are too small, you just get the skin and not the juices, if they are too big - you either choke and/or juice goes everywhere.

Likewise, the horrible food is best mashed up in amongst all the good stuff. Chop your brussels sprouts up into tiny pieces and mix them up with the rest of the roast dinner.

Stop trying to take on massive tasks all in one go. You have to chop them up in to tiny pieces and take care of them individually. Just remember to pop your head back up now and then to look at the plate and make sure you have your portion sizes right. Ensure you are not eating all the good bits now and saving the worst for later (and vice versa).
