OVERCOMMITTED?

Do you overly commit to others, and UNDER commit to yourself?

Many of the people I talk with every day have troubles saying “No”.

It feels like it isn’t an option…

They impulsively say “YES”, at the fear of disappointing others, or maintaining a “can-do” image.

They overcommit to others needs, desires and opinions and have lost their voice.

They’re burning out because they’ve been trying to run a business, but get sucked into others work, and are losing themselves to every one else’s ideas, feelings and opinions.

The Key 🔑 to Freedom:

Have a line.

I learned this from one of my coaches Sherri Starr McCusker.

Have a stock answer you give like,

“Hey, I have a tendency to overestimate my energy on projects, invites, etc….I’m gonna take a couple of days and I’ll get back to you.”

It becomes your go-to line when presented with new ideas💡

Your Energy and you Unconscious will thank you.

Here’s to you Creative Warrior,
