This is me at the beginning of 2024, I almost don’t recognise myself and I hadn’t seen it coming at all!
I can see that all the signs were there, Struggling to sleep, my mind constantly running, poor concentration, excessive coffee drinking, difficult to live with and disconnected from those I cared about most.
Why? Because I LOVED my job, I wanted to make a difference and I didn’t know how to put in boundaries.
My bosses, clients and contractors would contact me up to and in excess of 17 hours a day.
I worked when I was sick,
I worked on my days off and during holidays.
I didn’t want to let anything drop, not 1 plate could stop spinning on my watch.
It bit me REALLY hard, I lost my confidence, I developed horrible imposter syndrome, I struggled to speak to people and it’s taken me time to understand that balance in my life is really important.
Why am I sharing this with you?
When I put out my polished posts telling you how I can help your business, I’m not showing you the person or motive behind that message.
Why? This type of post is uncomfortable to me……but I genuinely would want to help and stop ANYONE ending up in that same situation.
So if you’re constantly working, stressing, putting yourself last, this is your reminder to pause.
Take some time for yourself, your family, your dog, your cat… whatever makes your world spin.
Your business will be so much more productive when YOU are healthy, happy, and fulfilled.
