Obliger rebellion: when obligers meet and meet and meet expectations until they get fed up and lose it.
Lately, all I've been doing is talking about how much work I have and trying to carve out the space to get it all done and acknowledging that it's a busy time. I haven't gone grocery shopping in weeks, I haven't exercised, and I certainly have not been spending the time I would like to spend with my family.
I just spent multiple blog posts talking about how my priority right now is my family and not this business, and yet I continued to schedule things and place deadlines in my life that don't align with that those priorities. I've completely neglected to remember or be aware of the fact that all of this is in my control. I can cancel things. I can change the deadlines. I am in charge. This is the whole reason why I am creating a business where I work for myself.
Luckily, I have an amazing mastermind group who can remind me of these things. Even if I can't always seen the warning signs of an impending meltdown, I've surrounded myself with people who know me well enough to point out when I am not practicing what I preach.
I want to have a summer. I want to go to the pool with my son. I want to go out for ice cream. I also want to create an online course eventually. All of these things are within my control and somehow I forgot that. Creating a course was meant to open up my time in the future it also can't take away from my living my life right now.
So I'll be slowing down on the posting and the Facebook lives and will be revisiting the course launch date. Thanks for following along as I learn over and over again how to live a slow life.
