The Cost Of Saying Yes

I’ve noticed a trend happening this year. Yes, right since day 1 of 2022.?

Everyone is exhausted.?

They’ve been pushing through for the last 2 years, trying to bury down all of the overwhelm that comes with living through changes.?

In short they’ve been doing it tough and sucking it up.

Now let me tell you something very blunt and straightforward.?

Sucking it up will result in you f*cking it up.

When we are functioning and working from a place of overwhelm, we tend to make decisions on a hair-trigger.?

We lose sight of the big picture and chase after what we think will make profit or growth immediately in the short-term, even if it’s detrimental to our wellbeing.?

So how do we overcome these negative repercussions of overwhelm and exhaustion without burning out even further??

The MOST IMPORTANT thing you need to do is to stop telling yourself fake stories.?

Stop telling yourself that you can’t delegate and that no one else can do it as well as you can - your team is there to help take the burden and stress off your plate. So that you can do what ONLY YOU can do and run your business.?

This is the normal in my industry - just because it’s common doesn’t mean it’s normal. Create a new normal and begin valuing your down time as much as you do your work time.?

I can survive on only 6 hours sleep - just because you can, doesn’t mean you should. Depriving yourself of sleep is a fast path to burnout which usually take longer to recover from than those extra 2 hours of sleep a night.?

I don’t have time to look after myself - if you don’t find the time, your body will make you find the time. What I mean is, if you keep pushing yourself your body will start making you sick until you physically can’t do more. Our bodies aren’t replaceable, we can’t simply buy a new one on amazon and get it shipped to our door whenever we feel exhausted. But what we can do is look after ourselves now.

I want you to really begin to question the stories you tell yourself.?

The ones that lead to exhaustion and burnout.?

And start asking, “says who?”.?

Success does not equal exhaustion and it’s time to start prioritising sustainable and consistent business growth over short term, hard fought wins.?

And in case you needed someone to tell you explicitly, this is me giving you permission to rest, recover, and regroup before it’s too late.?
