Single and ApPARENT
Greetings!
I have clearly missed the holidays and now we’re into another year!
Thank you to every last one of you who messaged me either via inbox or email, with your concerns regarding my whereabouts as well as personal issues you were having. Your outreach means far more than I could ever express to you.
In this journey of life I am realizing with the best of intentions if we are not careful, we can find ourselves in overload. Personal goals, desires, relationships, and other responsibilities are a constant force either pushing or pulling us whether forward or backwards. If we aren’t careful we can reach a point where that stride we thought was forward was really either backwards or walking in place. This is a proven formula for burnout.
How do we avoid that trap? A good place to start is to ask yourself just how much is on your plate. The next important step is to look at each item on your plate and determine how it is affecting or will affect your life. For example, once that task is completed will the reward be refreshing to you in a tangible way? Are your relationships feeding you something worthwhile and positive or are they having the opposite affect and draining you? Are family members showing you concern and love or are they basically non existent in your world as you continue to give of yourself? Does your place of employment value the unquiness of your talent or do you feel like a component on an assembly line even though you might work in an office setting?
The point is, it is both valuable, necessary, and important to reassess and evaluate ones life as we walk this journey to ensure we are able to “rearrange” our plate and either remove certain things and or make the necessary changes in our lives to avoid burnout. This, is exactly what I did.
Now renewed, feeling just a little bit lighter with more clarity, I am back with you even though to me I never left. Comment here or inbox me to let me know how you are doing. I can’t wait to hear!
Love and Peace~
