Yesterday I wrote about knowing your limits so that you can take care or yourself. I know this is so important; you must take care of yourself.
You need to know your limits for another reason. You need to know your limits so that you can blow past them! When I was going through the worst of the anxiety there was only so much I could do in a day. I knew it and I planned accordingly. (Most of the time!)
Those limits stuck in my head for a really long time. Just a few weeks ago I found myself thinking about the upcoming week and all that I had to do. I thought can I really accomplish everything? Am I going overdo it? Can I really handle all of this?
When I realized what I was thinking. I had to stop and remind myself that I am not the same person I was a few years ago. I don’t get so overwhelmed anymore. I don’t stress so much about what others think. (I still do but I am working on it!) I don’t get tired out so easily.
I decided then that I didn’t want to be held back by those limits anymore. I didn’t want to be the person that couldn’t do it or would be too overwhelmed. So I am quitting those thoughts. I am choosing to push myself a little bit more. To try a little bit harder.
Guess what? I can do it! I am moving forward little by little but I am moving forward.
Day 13 – know your limits so you can blow past them. Take care of yourself but don’t put yourself so much in a box that you don’t try new things!
