Strength

I've written a number of times about redefining what I think strength is. Especially knowing when to say that I need help with something and/or something is just too much. It's a hard habit to break. I don't think it is that I need to feel like wonder woman, though I'm sure there is some of that somewhere, I have this weird guilt about asking for help. I know how busy everyone is and I don't want someone to have to take something else on an already full plate. I guess I need to trust others to make that call too. 

I've had a number of things happen through this year that have been the universe kicking me in the butt about this. It has shown things falling off a plate that is too full. I'm not 100% sure how I'm going to get better at this, but I'm pretty certain taking a few breaths before diving into something and throughout something I'm working on will help. Taking the time to fully take stock of my capacity (and those around me) and the benefits of something in relation to everything else. Learning to say no to a new or existing opportunity and seeing that as a win for everything I've said yes to instead of something that has been missed out on.
