"Finite" is my key word for this month.
You see, I used to believe that my
possibilities were infinite. I could do or be anything I wanted. I could work
on as many different projects as I wanted. I could travel as far and wide as I
wanted.
These days, I think it’s since having
children, some things are now finite for me (whether I want to admit it or
not). It’s been a three-year
adjustment process and I’m still learning to cope with it.
Prior to children if I wanted to set out on
an overseas trip on a day’s notice, or start three new business ventures in a
month it would push me, but it was totally do-able.
Now – my life is less about infinite
possibilities and more about determining what the highest priority items are
that I can fit into my finite space, finite time, finite mindspace.
It’s about learning to say no to things -
which I find hard. I’m a person who likes to say yes. But in saying yes over
the past couple of months I tried to be and do too much and it didn’t work.
My brain went into overwhelm and something
had to give. For a little while it was my sanity.
So this month I focus on finite. Doing and
being the best at a finite number of things instead of being mediocre at too
many. I shall, I guess, continue to be a work in progress.

So true! My goodness, I have felt the exact same way. So hard to say no when you're a can do person but there is a limit to how much we can give.
Is it kids or getting older that causes it?? ;)
Tina - I thought it was kids, but maybe it is just being older! Eep!! :) Kirsty
