Why are you trying to do it all?

Tuesday of this this week I opened the front door, took a deep breathe in and smiled my house was smelling devine (essential oil Elevate bubbling out of my diffuser) and was sparkling clean. Our cleaner had just been and always, she had done an amazing job and confirms we made the right decision to hire her earlier this year. Now that I'm working from home people have questioned why we have a cleaner? with comments like "surely you could do it?"  "isn't it a waste of money if your home?" "aren't you a bit lazy not to do it?" .... 

Society keeps pressuring us to do it all, be more productive, saying yes more, taking on more than you can, essentially putting others and things in front of ourselves but there are consequences of doing that for a long period of time not just physically but mentally.

I see it all the time, people on the surface look like they have it all together, posting nothing but happy snaps, go out of their way to help people. But behind closed doors, falling into a heap putting silly pressure on themselves to achieve things and basically  1. not asking for help 2. refusing to let people help them out. It just baffles me because theres no award for doing it all ?   I respect people more who know where to draw the line and ask for help. 

In my ebook one of my tips is Outsourcing and even I was apprehensive about including it due to peoples opinons but we need to see it as a positive thing rather than being weak and getting others to help us. If your feeling overwhelmed feel like your doing a million things, stop and ask yourself why are you trying to do it all ? make a change, ask for help, stop trying to be the COE (Chief of Everything).

Your time is precious

Do what you do best outsource the rest

Have a lovely weekend xx
