Is This You?
I’ve worked with a number of people whose experiences tend to fall into the following situations. Take a look and see if any of them feel familiar to you…
Your daily schedule is really crazy! There’s the kids to get off to school, their lunches made. When you get to work your email inbox is overflowing. If and when you finally do have a moment to yourself, your mind is still revving like crazy. You just can’t seem to settle down and relax, and your attention keeps wandering to what you need to do next.
✵✵✵
You’ve been hired into your dream job. While you start off your day with good momentum, somewhere along the way, things get out of hand. Fires seem to spring up everywhere, and they all need to be put out NOW. You hardly know where to start first. Although you love the work and have a great team, the hours are long and the pace demanding.
By the end of the day you’re really dragging and when you get home you just want to crawl into bed and hibernate. Forget about the weekend! All you can think about is gearing up for the week ahead, when it all starts again.✵✵✵
You’ve had an argument with a colleague. This is unusual, because you generally get along and work well together. They’ve always come through for you when you needed help. But, this argument just made you so angry. While you understood what they were saying, you disagreed with it strongly.
You wonder if you’ll be able to work things out and get back to the easy-going and productive relationship you value so much.✵✵✵
You’re actively involved in several community organizations, but are starting to feel like you’re over-committed. However, after hearing the day’s news and the latest tragedy leaves you feeling like you’re not doing enough. You believe strongly that helping others is important, but at the same time you also feel like you’re being pulled in too many different directions.
You ask yourself if there is a way you can continue to serve, but that doesn’t leave you feeling mentally and emotionally depleted.✵✵✵
That little side-hustle you started unexpectedly took off, but its success has been a blessing and a curse! It’s not just about serving clients and making money, there’s all the other little aspects that support doing that! Wearing all the hats…learning new software, hiring contractors, marketing, etc.
What used to be a fun little hobby, is now eating up your life. You love expressing yourself in this way and the extra money doesn’t hurt, but lately it’s begun to feel like a bit of a slog. You wonder if you can get back that initial enthusiasm you first had.
