Have you ever found yourself thinking that you are not doing enough? In today’s podcast episode, I’m talking about how you can find out if you are doing enough and why you are always feeling like you are behind. You’ll learn how to know if you are doing enough as well as how you can start getting more done each day. You’ll also learn how you can feel good about the work you are doing and trust yourself that you’ll get things done and feel confident in your decisions. I hear so often from the clients I work with how they don’t feel like they get enough done in their professional lives and how that impacts how they feel about how much is enough in their personal lives as well. So much of our lives cross over from our professional and personal lives that it’s no wonder if you are feeling this way in one area of your life, you’ll probably see it in other areas as well. Are you ready to start feeling like you are doing enough? Let’s dive in…
Do you find that you are always feeling like you are behind? Do you have a list of things to do that never seems to get any shorter because you consistently have to add more to it every day? Have you ever found yourself saying that you can never get enough done? I hear this from the clients that I work with so often. So, I want to ask you, how do you know if you are doing enough? If you are working 8 hours in your job, do you feel like you are doing enough? What if you are working 10, 12, or even more hours each day? Does this help you feel like you are doing enough? Think about your busiest season. Could you work 24 hours or more each day and still feel like you aren’t getting enough work done for the day? I want to tell you that working so many hours is not sustainable, and will probably take a toll on your health as well. So, is there a magic number of hours you need to work to feel like you’ve done enough? Probably not. So, the question of whether am I doing enough isn’t based on the amount of time spent on a project.
When you are thinking about your professional life, what if I asked you right now…are you doing enough? I’m guessing that most of you are going to say no, that you don’t feel like you are doing enough. If you think back to yesterday, did you feel like you did enough? As you are leaving your office today, do you feel like you’ve done enough? Maybe you might not know exactly if you’ve done enough or not and that leaves you feeling unsure. You might be hopeful that you did enough for the day, but then you look at your to-do list and think again. I want to let you know that this isn’t unusual, and you are definitely not alone in thinking this way.
When you doubt yourself for not doing enough or are uncertain if you are doing enough or not, you’ll often find that the results you originally hoped would be achieved are not being obtained. When this happens, you are probably overthinking, procrastinating, or even avoiding making decisions and taking action to move forward.
When you tell yourself that you haven’t done enough, what are other things that you tell yourself? Do you start criticizing yourself? Are you judging yourself? When you do this, you start to believe what you are telling yourself and you truly become the person who procrastinates, overthinks, and doesn’t get enough done. You become the reality of your original thought that you are not getting enough done.
I am going to help you decide when you are doing enough. How you can ensure that you can get the things done you want to get done, and how you can feel good about what you are doing. When you do this, you’ll start to trust yourself that you’ll get enough done every day and feel confident when you are finished for the day…
