Catch yourself overcommitting to help everyone? My book’s chapter on setting boundaries might be exactly what you need to stop stretching yourself too thin.
The story
Sometimes I catch myself thinking I can be super helpful by trying to do too much for too many people – that’s when I have to remind myself to slow it down.
It’s easy to forget that life isn’t a competition for who can make the most people happy. Being natural means respecting your own bandwidth.
In Chapter 6 of my book “A Practical EmPath: Rewire Your Mind,” I talk about this exact problem – how many of us get caught in the cycle of overcommitting because we’re afraid to disappoint others.
The chapter walks through how to recognize when you’re overloaded and practical steps to set boundaries without guilt. It’s about making space for authenticity by not cramming your schedule [and mind] with obligations that drain you.
If you’re constantly feeling stretched thin, this might be the chapter you need most. Being true to yourself starts with acknowledging your limits.
