How will You ever add More?

Looking back, it felt like I was speeding down the highway and the brakes were broken. I used to have dreams about panicking that I couldn’t stop the vehicle even though I was driving it.

Each moment was grueling and felt like a lifetime, the way panic does, and at the same time, my vision was completely blurred because everything was flying past me so fast, and not in a good way. I could tell I was passing exits that I actually wanted to consider. 

This was a metaphor for my life. Moments felt endless because I was “just getting by,” and yet weeks would speed past without me making many conscious decisions about what would happen. 

I was doing as much as I thought I possibly could at work and in my personal life, because I thought that’s what mattered. And I thought that’s how I would matter to myself.

I kept bumping up against this thought: How will I ever add anything more to my schedule? How will I ever be able to take on more at work, and maybe have a kid, and not get fired or die?

Even when my father-in-law said, “You’ll just make more time!” I was pissed, and almost insulted. (Turns out, he was right about it all.)

And then one day, I decided I wouldn’t anymore. And, when I decided I wouldn’t, I learned how to prioritize.

Learning how to prioritize is important. Managing your mind is even MORE important. 

When you feel stuck or overwhelmed, there’s usually something underneath related to the way you’re thinking. The good news is that all you have to do is change your mind. It’s the simplest and most powerful way to shift your whole world.
