If you've ever felt burned out, overwhelmed or emotionally overwrought, this post is for you. Instead of doing it all, pleasing everyone, or trying to be everywhere, learn to focus on less by doing what you love and excel in.
Prioritize. Create limits. Identify what your passionate YES is and start saying NO to everything else that detracts from it.
Are you clear about your bottom lines and deal breakers, or do you live with an "anything goes" mentality, often finding yourself upset or even angry when other people cross your poorly defined boundaries? Here's the harsh truth and the tough lesson of that: you attract what you are and you receive what you allow.
It's hard to hear, but it can also be empowering. Because yes, you do need to get brutally honest with yourself and discover what you need, expect and want. But then you have to be brave enough to vocalize your expectations kindly but firmly and believe you are worthy of having them met.
You do deserve all those essential things that make you feel safe, appreciated, and authentic. And no, you don't need to complain or nag. You simply have to start enforcing consequences. Don't be tempted to allow unacceptable behaviour that eats away at your sense of self.
At home, in the workplace, in your social circle: draw those invisible lines that define who you are and how you operate. Those who can meet you at your level will rise up. Let the rest go.
