We all find ourselves in busy seasons when we are having to give and do a bit more than usual. It's a normal part of life and business and ideally, after a reasonable amount of time, a busy season ends and we are able to regain a sustainable pace. But when we get stuck in a perpetual cycle of to-do's and continue to add responsibilities and expectations upon ourselves, overwhelm soon follows.

• discourage, defeated
• like there's no way out, it's never going to end
• you're barely keeping your head above water
• you aren't doing things with the quality of excellence you are accustomed

If overwhelm has found its way into your heart and mind, be encouraged! This is a signal to you that things in life and business are out of alignment and you are exceeding your limitations. That's right...you're limited!

You can't do it all.

That's not a bad thing...that's a human thing! And if you continue to ignore your capacity and insist on exceeding your limitations, well, that's a recipe for disaster!

How do you make sure you're operating within your capacity and enjoying the journey along the way? By creating rhythms and boundaries around the things that are of utmost importance!

Here are a few questions as we get started. Spend a few minutes getting reacquainted with YOURSELF and how you want to show up in life and business.

• Who do you want to become?
• What do you want to be true of you?
• Is the way you are doing things in your business helping you become more of the person you want to be?

The answers to these questions are powerful as we begin to identify our priorities.

You are a human being and you have limitations. We all do! The more you can operate within your limitations and become strategic with your time and energy in your business, the more freedom you will have to show up well in ALL of life. And that will make everything better!
