What is The Cost of Not Walking Away?
A Fresh Perspective On Your To-Do List
There will come a time when you will feel safe enough to pause, even though your to-do list isn’t finished. I promise, but it does take a little effort on your part in order to break the habit that you need to do it all — today.
Having a to-do list is fabulous. It captures all of the things you’re juggling in the air. But it can also strangle you and hold you captive to a subliminal shame program. “If I don’t get this done I am not good enough”.
How many times have you caught yourself pushing, over-committing yourself and then forcing yourself to achieve?
How many times have placed too many things on your list for the week ahead?
Do you perceive you failed on Friday when even one thing hasn’t been ticked off?
For many of my clients, this conversation pushes all of their buttons and activates their survival program called panic and overwhelm. You see they are overwhelmed by their to-do list, and they feel unable to walk away.
