Do I Have to Do It All by Myself?

How are you doing on time? Do you have more to do than you can handle? Is it possible that you are not asking for help?

I have the superwoman syndrome. I think I can do it all by myself. I think I'm better off doing things on my own because I know how I want it done. This almost drove me insane! Not to mention the burnout I was about to have. I was crashing down hard and in flames. I had to do something about it.

The biggest lesson I learnt was to allow myself to ask for help. I didn't realize how many people were willing to help where they could if I just asked. The problem was that on the surface, it looked like I could handle it all and more. Beneath was a different story.

While I am still learning to let other people do things for me, I am happy that I have allowed myself the chance. See, now it doesn't have to be all perfect. I just has to be done! It makes a real difference. Instead I can focus on my services, which I believe have improved since I have less to manage. Don't get me wrong, I still oversee everything, but there's less pressure. And it has opened me up to other people's experience and expertise, in addition to creating better relationships with them. There are things that an expert definitely does better than I ever could. Who knew? lol

"Insisting on doing everything yourself burdens you and prevents others from feeling valuable and needed. Delegate more at home and at work, and free your time for things you love and excel at. –Julie Morgenstern"

Focus on the things you are proficient in. Find skillful others to help with the rest.

Free your time to do the things you love!

Helping Hands Expanding Possibilities

"As you progress on the path to making your dream come true, you begin to realize that more and more is possible" -  Marcia Wieder

When your direction becomes clear, doors begin to open and ideas come rushing in sometimes faster than we can handle! Dull moments are rare. A new project begins, which introduces you to new people, who teach you about other resources and collaborate with you. The helping hands create an environment of growth and development. They nurture your dreams, and help you believe that more is achievable. This support is invaluable!

So talk about your dreams often and with passion. You never know who might be interested in being a facilitator for you or even becoming involved in your project. Just believe in yourself, and others will too.

It's all part of the process. Being on The Path is thrilling!

Wishing you Ongoing Opportunities,
+Erika
