Pause and Breathe, Before Saying “Yes”
“I’m so overwhelmed, there’s way too much on my plate. I can’t get it all done well, and my life is out of balance.” That’s the kind of complaint I’m hearing quite often from my clients these days. Even after they’ve prioritized and delegated, there’s STILL too much to get done in a week while attempting to stay healthy.
Maybe you can relate. You’re highly skilled at what you do. People rely on you because you are dependable and take a high level of accountability for the success of your projects.

(It’s even kid approved!)

And So It Is.
A lesson I learned from river rafting has resonated strongly with me when trying to accept challenging situations or make difficult decisions in my life. Just like the need to go with the flow of a river if you fall out of the boat, when faced with a challenge, I ask myself, will making this decision or taking this action be going WITH the flow of my life, or will it be flailing against it? If I could really just accept and make peace with the truth of the situation, and allow it to be as it is, what would I need to do?
Acceptance. In order to let the river of my life flow, I have to first get clear and accept that this is what’s happening. Then, I have to TRUST that letting go and letting the river flow, will bring more ease and even unexpected joy.
