Do you feel as if you’re carrying the world on your shoulders and time is running out? This burden is really getting heavy and making the Holiday season less enjoyable. Boomer women become overwhelmed with the tasks shopping, cooking, decorating and ALL the things we think others expect us to do for the Holidays. AND of course we want everything to be perfect so we feel responsible. Responsibility begins in the mind.
Accepting that you are completely responsible for yourself and delegating some of the Holiday tasks will mark the starting point of relieving the feeling of overwhelm. Be sure to select well in delegating tasks; choose someone who can do the task and will get the task completed on time with minimal supervision.
It is not uncommon to feel anxious the first time you delegate a task. One of the best ways to get over this hurdle is to create a mantra “I’m letting go, I’m delegating tasks and all is well.” The more practice you get, the easier it gets, until one day you realize that you no longer have to carry the world on your shoulders.
The goal of accepting responsibility and learning to delegate is to free you.
Day 13 Decide what tasks can be done by someone else; then delegate. Notice your feelings you around delegating.
