\"overcommitted\"<\/a>Ever been overcommitted? Ever found yourself juggling time madly multitasking and pushing your own limits to get everything done? Of course you have, and how silly does it feel to realise you\u2019re the one who signed up for this storm of activity. Sometimes it takes a lightning bolt to show you the terrain that you\u2019re stumbling over. That terrain is actually flat – you’re tripping over your own haste.<\/p>\n

You\u2019re in charge of deciding what your time is best spent on, but sometimes you’re the wrong person to make that decision. You don’t think to put your hand up and ask for help, after all, “You can manage<\/em>“.\u00a0 So you push on, managing to get by and catch yourself at the stumbles, head up, and carry on through the stress.<\/p>\n

Overcommitted is a warning sign, it is a hand up, asking for help. If you’ve felt these first warning signs of storms in your life, take a deep breathe and pause. You have a choice here to give yourself a break. So reconnect with your commitment to meaningful and mindful activity. Quite possibly, a lot of the expectation you’re overcommitted by is from you. You got here from your desire to get it all done, make all the achievements and meet the high expectations of those demanding inner critics. Let me remind you – they are insatiable. They will always have a little thing where you weren’t good enough, didn’t do enough, let yourself down.<\/p>\n

Overcommitted is a downward spiral<\/h2>\n

What might be next? Your health\u00a0or\u00a0your close relationships\u00a0as you take for granted the fuel that is sustaining you and the people who understand what you’re reaching for? Don’t let there be collateral damage from wanting to do well, come back to your centre and recommit to less. Evaluate and select only that which is most meaningful to you right now. Let go of the expectations that you’re drowning under that don’t serve your higher purpose and those that are not in alignment with your intention.<\/p>\n

You are not a failure. You’re someone’s beloved, so remind yourself that you can only do, what a person can reasonably do, and that is enough.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
