Description

Today's episode is birthed out of my frustration for living in overwhelm and constant stress. There's a lie some of us have believed that the more complex and challenging a task is, the more important it is. Sometimes we deliberately complicate issues because we respect the complex and spectacular over the simple and easy to do. 

We pack so much into our day and have grown accustomed to living highly-stressed lives. We believe it comes with the territory of chasing big dreams.

Creating time buffers around your activities is a game-changer. 

1. It gives you room to breathe and think.
2. Increases your self-confidence in meetings
3. Allows you to recognise growth opportunities

The benefits are numerous, and I believe you won't want to return once you taste a life of ease. I encourage you to identify why you permit time to manage you instead of it being the other way around.

Action points:

• Build buffers around your appointments
• Don't pack your diary full. You are not in a race. You were created to live and not race.
• Understand that self-care and self-worth increase when you become a person of your word.

I will be taking a break from summer to refuel and recharge for the final stretch of 2023. This is a good time to re-listen to some of your favourite episodes. I will remain active on social media, where I'll continue reading my journal every week. Let's connect on Instagram @toksaruoture.
