🌊 Issue #13: 224 Days til the Grand Sabbatical more or less
The last few weeks, I found myself overwhelmed with so many feelings. All of them. It felt like I was ready to burst from feeling every emotion imaginable at the same time.
As a result, I was restless. I couldn’t concentrate. And my chest felt tight.
It’s similar to the feeling I get on Sunday evenings when I would feel anxious about the coming week.
Then as stupid as it may sound, I would ask my boyfriend to either just lay on top of me, or put part of his weight on me — like both of his legs. The additional weight forcing me to slow down my breath. And somehow my brain would relax and then my body would follow.
But the relief is temporary.
Because really, if I’m being honest with myself, I’m overwhelmed.
I’m putting so much pressure on myself.
To be successful at my job
To empower my team so they’re happy and thriving
To do the same for my clients so they’re successful
To make my coaching business successful and profitable
To be healthy and successful myself
And the hows of getting there are so many. And my plate is so full all the time.
So I’m trying to regain control. Re-establishing routines. Prioritizing ruthlessly. But I slip on some days and I end up avoiding my ever-growing to-do list which means they just keep growing.
I know what to do. That’s the thing.
I just need to do them.
First up on my list - materialize the things in my brain. Write them down. Let them out. So I can let them go.
And I guess, this is exactly what I’m doing now.
Until next time 💗
