Do you find yourself keep saying yes even though you’re already at capacity?
That was me, ever keen to please!
Keen to prove to others that I could do it all, that I was good enough.
If I said no surely that’s would scream ‘I can’t cope’.
The more I took on the more hours I had to work to get it all done.
I was working long days in the office and taking stuff home with me too.
That meant less of my own time…
Less time with my family and friends. Less time doing the things I loved.
Sure I had the weekends but I was so tired from the long hours I had little energy or motivation to do anything to nourish my own soul.
But how long can that go on?
Years actually…
Until one day your body and brain say ENOUGH!!
There will be warning signs along the way of course but if you’re like I was, you’ll ignore them.
You’ll ignore them until your body literally stops you in your tracks!
All work and no play might seem like a good idea but when you think about the result, is it really?
