I believe that over
commitment is one of the main reasons why leaders burn out 😥 In James
Altucher's book Power of No, he
writes, “When you say yes to something
you don’t want to do, here is the result: you hate what you are doing, you
resent the person who asked you, and you hurt yourself.” If leaders do
these, there are no fun!
To help you to avoid and
escape over commitment trap I have four
(4) keys idea for you to implement in your leadership and life:
1) KNOW YOUR PRIORITIES ☺ Constantly remind yourself what your personal and
professional priorities are. Make a list of what is really important to you in
the long run
2) TAKE THINGS AS THEY COME 😉 Life is filled with moments that give rise to
tension. Retrain your brain not to worry about the unknown. React to things as
they come and you will be able to solve problems that arise
3) MAKE TIME FOR SOLITUDE ⚡ Loneliness comes from emptiness, but solitude comes
from wholeness. Take time each day to spent time with yourself. For me, I go
for a walk, run, weight lifting, reading or just enjoy watching the trees.
These self-time activities will reduce the pressure, clear your mind and become
refreshed
4) BRING GOD INTO YOUR SITUATION 🙏 If you seek His guidance and receive His blessing of
peace (shalom), you will be better able to handle any situation. Take time to
meditate His Word and for prayer
Don't let the extra
weights of tension, over commitment, and misplaced priorities cause you to lose
your grip on what is really important in your life. In trying to hold onto
and/or do too much, you could risk it all. Not worth it 👎 #ServeToLead
THINK BIG.
START SMALL. GO DEEP.
