Session on the theme - Don't you worry, I'm on it !
How would you manage if i don't take care of it ?
Hopefully I thought about it ...
They're not going to handle it without me.
No, I'll do it ... no worries I handle it.
It looks like small, but these sentences can hide an iceberg of responsabilities, overwork, tiredness or a lack of personal boundaries.
Handling everything, for everyone, all the time ... can lead to handling anything anymore.
We got used to manage everything on our own, not asking for help fearing they will think we're "weak", fearing to annoy or get a "no". We tend to even manage our emotions and feelings like we manage a budget, we try to fit in some rest into a busy schedule, we're planning holidays with a list of to-do's and your creativity better pop up when you're planning you need it. And on top of it : we feel bad and guilty for not doing everything PERFECTLY.
If your daily life looks like an endless sprint, you get what I mean.
So what if you'll take a moment to sit still and consider :
Why are you wearing this much responsibilities ?
If you could choose it, what would you choose to handle ?
What are your boundaries ?
Which ones will help you in the process of respecting your ressources ?
How are you "managing" all of this ?
The idea here is to make conscious choices about "Where I stand - what I choose - what I let go". It's about to know your limits and your place instead of running everywhere and chasing everything.
