Take a load off

Take a load off

There’s a burden most of us carry. It’s the weight of responsibility.

Whether it's running a business, raising a family, or just trying to get through everyday life, the pressure to perform and succeed can feel overwhelming.

When I started my business in the 80s, my goal was to chase my dream and earn a great living.

But as the business grew, and my responsibilities along with it, so did my fears. I worried about being a great parent for my four growing children, paying the mortgage, and covering the bills; at work and at home.

The weight of that responsibility felt crushing.?

?Why do you go to work every day??

Money? Accomplishment? Being part of something bigger than yourself? Building a great company?

?We all have our own Why or Whys. When we find our own whys, the burden is lifted a bit.? My path, carrying all that weight, I knew was not sustainable.

?Are you feeling the weight of responsibility?

If so, here’s a few things that worked to lighten the load on me, and I hope they work for you:

  1. ?Make Self-Care a Daily Activity: Take care of your physical, emotional, and mental well-being. Make time for activities that nourish your mind, body, and soul.
  2. Simplify: Break down your responsibilities into more manageable tasks. Rather than focusing on the entire mountain of things, identify the most pressing issues and tackle them one by one.
  3. Celebrate your Wins The burden of responsibility can make you feel defeated. Celebrating every win, no matter how small, can lighten the load a bit.
  4. Build a Support Network: Surround yourself with people who can support and lift you up. Don't be afraid to ask for help when you need it.

?By taking these steps, you can transform the weight of responsibility into a source of strength and purpose.

?So, here’s your Action Item and Mission, should you decide to accept it:

?Is the burden of your responsibilities weighing you down?

Pause and ask yourself, why you show up every?day. Write them down, then post them where you can see them every day, or journal about them.? This little exercise will lighten the load and bring clarity of purpose on days when you’re feeling the pressure.

?The weight of responsibility doesn't have to be a burden. By identifying your whys and acting on them, you can transform the weight of responsibility into a source of strength.

??Please share this post to help someone else who may need to lift their burden.? Remember, one hand washes the other and together they get clean.
