depletes me - When I Grow Up

Tough (Question) Tuesday Which of these commitments energizes/depletes me - When I Grow Up Think of all of your your committments, everything youve said yes to or know that you will/would say yes to when/if the situation arose. These committments can be tasks, or they can even be people that youve surrounded yourself with. Got em in your head? Good. Now ask yourself: Which of these commitments energizes me? Which of these commitments depletes me? Be quick dont think about it. Something or someone is going to pop into your head, and before even words are formed youre going to get a feeling.a warm and fuzzy feeling, or a headache. Youll know right away which column to put that commitment/task/person in. Now keep that energy/depletion list with you so youll know when to say no. Or look at the list, internalize it, and make a commitment to yourself to go with your gut when someone offers you something. Dont talk yourself into anything, dont logically give yourself a reason why. If someone asks you to dinner on Thursday, and it leaves you with a feeling of obligation and overwhelm, just say no. Or if that person gives you the warm fuzzies but Thursday is The Day Of A Million Errands, offer up your free time. Ill share my Energy/Depletion List (or, as I like to call it, my This Rocks/This Sucks list) in the comments section. Please join me! The Tough (Question) Tuesday series can be found here.
