When it’s time for a come-to-Jesus with yourself

As the subject suggests, I recently had a come-to-Jesus with myself.

You may have heard me mention that my son started high school two months ago and joined the marching band.

In my zeal to support him, I’ve been struggling with over-commitment. By the end of the weekend, I’m not refreshed but completely exhausted.

This is 100% on me, too. No one is pressuring me to do all the things except me.

It’s hard to acknowledge your limitations, but I’ve been working 1:1 with a business and mindset coach and we’ve been talking a LOT about tradeoffs.

When you say yes to something, what are you saying no to?

In my case, lately I’ve been saying no to rest. To quiet time. To time with my partner. To time with my son (without 134 other kids around). To laundry and chores.

As a result of my come-to-Jesus, I’ve been stopping to ask myself what I actually want (and can handle). I do want to support him. I want to share in these last years of high school (😭).

But I don’t want to do it all at the expense of everything else. There has to be a balance, and that’s exactly what I’m looking for.

How have you been finding balance in your life lately?

P.S. At the end of each quarter, I recap what worked and what didn’t, then I set goals for the next quarter. If this sounds like something you’d like, sign up for access to my free videos. A new one just dropped 🙌
