Well hello there, Reader!
If you have a do-it-all personality, it can be hard to come to the realization that you can’t do it all all the time. At some point, the cycling between extreme exhaustion and burnout catches up to you and a shift has to be made.
When that shift happens if you’re already on a self-understanding journey, that’s when deeper personal change begins to happen in one of two ways.
1. You could easily just stop cycling between those two states by giving up completely, throwing in the towel and continuing to foster the resentment that you likely feel because “others just aren’t doing as much as you are.”
Or
2. You could choose the path of understanding what’s underneath the masks and desires to try to do everything and stay busy all the time. The path that helps you become more aware, more “awake” so that you can begin living more intentionally and shedding the things that truly aren’t serving you anymore.
And when you begin to uncover what’s actually spurring you to do all the things you think you “have” to do, whether they light you up inside or not, you start to gain the courage and confidence to live authentically as your true self.
You start to say “no” to the things that don’t light you up and instead give your time to the things that do…including yourself.
Because YOU, my friend, are indeed worth getting to really know and love. To know yourself on a level that doesn’t mimic someone else, but that lets your soul be it’s own unique self in this world.
One person who does a beautiful job of teaching this sort of thing is my coach, Deb Blum. I sat down with her a while ago and had a chat about some of the things that keep us stuck in this “do-it-all” mentality. And it never fails that every time I talk with Deb she leaves me with a nugget of wisdom and a different way of thinking of things.

I hope you’ll enjoy this conversation as much as I did!
Until next week, helping you find the rhythms in all you do!
Cheers,
Cathy
