It won't always be so busy.
I'll have more time next month to work out.
One day I'll be able to take a vacation without working most of it.
I hear this (a lot!) from new clients. Notice the fallacy?
There's an assumption that - one day - things will get better. On their own.
Why is that a fallacy?
Because people (colleagues, friends and even family members) will take advantage of everything you're willing to give them.
That's human nature.
[Most people don't even realize that they're taking advantage. They just enjoy that you're willing to give so much.]
What that means is that it's up to you to NOT get overextended, Friend. And you do that by:
- Enforcing boundaries.
- Prioritizing self-care.
- Aligning around your values + priorities.
No one else can do that for you. No one else will do that for you. One of the reasons I think we do this is because of how we view time... As finite. It's limited.
And so we cram our calendars full - often with things that aren't all that important.
If you’re constantly overextended and over-stressed, know that it need not be this way.
It's time to rethink how you perceive (and hence choose to spend your) time. Because your life IS time (and vice versa).
XO,
Heather
P.S. If you're ready to retake control and create the life you want (and stop waiting for it to eventually happen), that's what I do with my clients.
