Is the current reality making you feel more stressed than normal? Does everything feel overwhelming? Do you feel like you are on the brink of burnout? If, the answer is yes, you are definitely not alone.
You may feel like you have too much to do and not enough time. Or like you need to do it all, because if you don’t you will be letting someone down. So, you keep going and going... saying yes to all the meetings, family commitments and obligations; until you are mentally and physically exhausted.
You may have been condition to believe (I know I was) that the only option is to keep pushing through. But, this mentality is unsustainable.
And, here’s the thing, I there is a better way. It is possible to figure out what you need and works for you so that exhaustion, feeling unwell and burnout are not the norm.
At some point in my life I went through some version of this scenario and after much trail and error it became cleat that my stress and overwhelm were magnified by the fact that I did not have boundaries. Once I started to work on setting clear (and kind) boundaries, I had more energy and space to take care of myself and those around me.
Getting clear on your limits allows you to start more comfortably and confidently saying “no thank you” to the things that no longer serve you and open up time and energy for the things that are a “big yes” in your life.
This won’t happen overnight, but once you start integrating what you’re learning into your day-to-day, you’ll be setting the foundation for a more manageable relationship with stress and overwhelm.
If you struggle with setting boundaries or feel like you need more support on how to incorporate them into your life, join Katie Abbott and I for a 3-part deep dive on building on empowered relationship with your boundaries. We will share real-life experiences as well practical tips and tools for building an empowered and sustainable relationship with boundaries. We start tomorrow Saturday, Feb. 13. Sign up link in bio
