Life can be hectic, busy, chaotic, you can feel like you’re in a rush, you could be left waiting, time may be fast, and time may be slow, but in the end is this a life that you enjoy living, if so why complain? You have so much to live for, why complain. Be grateful for all that you do have, why complain. Life presents its challenges, but the goal is to get through those challenges and come out a stronger person. No one can decide for you, when to keep going, when to quit, when to rest, that is up to you to get to know yourself, in the event that you are spreading yourself too thin, aware of the consequences of spreading yourself too thin, like burnout, “a lack of concentration, feeling sick, struggling with simple tasks, falling behind and a blurring of days.” [1]
They say not to take on too much in life, I can’t say that I’m one of those people who avoids responsibility in life, Im the kind of person who sees a challenge and takes on the challenge head on, with a undeniable faith in myself that Im going to make it through and through and complete the task at hand or goal in mind, such as graduating from law school. But everything takes time, and sometimes the most relief you get in life, are in those moments and milestones in life, when you work hard and things come to an end, receiving an award, or a doctorate, or degree, be proud.
Learning how to say no. I find myself doing this a lot lately, in terms of not having too much fun, or not taking too many social breaks, but I guess I should give myself a break and be out and about and around people more. I don’t know what it is, when your busy and just want to stay home. They say that the most successful people have to make sacrifices in life. So I figured being sober for so long, and staying home and going to law school twice for my JD and MSL (LLM), was my sacrifice. Im the kind of person who doesn’t like excitement, I just don’t get the thrill out of things maybe in my younger years I would have enjoyed, Im looking for stability, like a job, or a Husband, but I guess I have a lot of work to do before those things can be possible for me in life. Just do my best.
According to Forbes.com, to avoid “spreading yourself too thin” they recommend the following:
“maintaining a healthy work-life balance … balance is essential: It enables them to attend to their own self-care, enjoy a more meaningful life, and take much-deserved breaks.” [2]
