Managing Doing it All

We have to figure out which areas of life we’re going to lean into and which ones we need to table or ask for help with because we can’t do it all. Certainly not by ourselves.  Needra Glover Tawwab

Many of us are rewarded for working hard, for being busy, for always saying yes and being on the go.

As much as we like to feel useful, helpful and have good intentions, our lives can be taken over with demands and schedules which may not translate into a healthy way of living.

Our bodies respond to burnout. 

Our minds respond to burnout.

Our souls respond to neglect.

There is no way around it

As much as we "push through" there is a limit

I am learning that saying yes to everything is unsustainable and can lead to resentment and anger 

I am also learning that asking for help in not a sign of weakness. It can open so many other doors and lessons. 

It has become a practice to say no when its rooted in people pleasing and external validation - takes self awareness

It has also now become a practice to ask for help - there is no weakness in that at all.

Keep asking yourself - what is your why and that can lead you to your answer

Peace and Blessings
