“I should be able to handle it all.”
“I should be able to do it all.”
When your voice says:
“I should be able to do it all.”
“Having limits means I’m not good enough.”
Coach Lynn says:
Capacity is not a character test. Everyone has limits of time, energy, attention, and health.
Then you say:
Here’s what I need to do:
- Take one or more Composure Breaths to settle my body.
- Write down everything I've committed to this week, big and small.
- Circle one item to change such as do less of it, hand it off, move it to later, or say no.
- Mark the one or two things that matter most, and block time for them on my calendar first.
Coach Lynn says:
Limits aren't a weakness. They show you where your energy belongs. When you make room for what matters most, you stay steady and give your best where it counts.
