16. Prioritizing What Matters and Putting Yourself First
Today, we're diving deep into something I've been discussing with almost every one of my clients lately — prioritizing ourselves and putting an end to overcommitment.
Is this a theme for your life lately?
Let me also ask you this…
How often do you want to say "no" but end up saying "yes" to everyone?
You agree to everything and everyone, only to leave yourself feeling completely exhausted at the end of the day and wondering when you'll have time to yourself, or even just to get your work done.
Yeah, I've been there — more times than I'd like to admit. I used to think that being busy meant being productive, but honestly, it only meant burning out. And trust me, burnout is no fun.
In this week’s episode of The Overwhelm Cure, you’ll discover ...
How I finally learned to start making decisions based on MY priorities
How and why to figure out what truly matters to you
Why pinpointing your top 3-5 priorities makes decision-making easier
How to handle the challenge of saying no and letting go of the things that don't fit into your priorities
Why it's not always easy, especially when we're wired to please others, but looking after your well-being is always worth it
You'll also hear some real-life examples, like how I used to handle a busy morning before a flight (spoiler alert: it wasn't pretty) and how I've made a significant effort to make myself a priority.
Setting boundaries, even when it feels uncomfortable, is an act of self-care. Because, at the end of the day, you deserve to be on your priority list.
When we put ourselves first, everything seems to fall into place.
