Do you ever feel like you’re on a treadmill set just a little too fast?
Do you feel like your days are spoken for by endless tasks, roles in family and work, too many expectations, and the pressure to “keep up” in a society that never seems to slow down?
If so, you’re not alone. It’s a daunting situation we all face.
If only there were an emergency shut-off button in life, like on treadmills.
I have something even better than the emergency shut-off button to share with you. I have the solution to keep you from feeling like you need to reach for that button in the first place.
Working with hundreds of women over the years, I’ve noticed they think they don’t have “enough time,” but usually, they are trying to plan too much in their time that’s impossible to complete in the hours they have!
They are trying to stuff a size ten “schedule” into a size two space.
To help you fit everything in with the time you have, you MUST KNOW THE DIFFERENCE between your S.O.F.T and T.R.U.E priorities.
When you make something a priority for S.O.F.T. reasons, you are stuffing the “wrong things” into the limited time you have.
S.O.F.T. priorities are based from
- SHOULDS – thinking you should do certain things because that is what “good” women, mothers, and entrepreneurs “should” do)
- OTHER’S PERCEPTIONS – you do things you don’t want to do because you want to control how others think about you). You say yes so they WILL think “really amazing things” about you. Or, you don’t want them to believe you are incapable so you say yes… stuffing extra things into your already full schedule.
- FEARS – adding things to your schedule because you’re afraid of what could happen in the future if you don’t do something. If you don’t work out you’ll get a terrible disease. If you say no, people won’t invite you again. Fear that if you slow down or don’t work 24/7, things will fall apart.
- THEY OR THEM – doing things so you don’t let “them” down or because “they” will be upset if you say no.
