Too much to do

Colleagues,

MVP: We all face barriers that can make it difficult to be intentional

Yesterday I wrote about not being intentional in choosing how I would show up with others, but I didn’t tell the whole story.

While at the Helene relief site, I was able to have the critical conversations with Lance and some of the other leaders that had been foremost in my mind.

I then found some quiet space to focus on me and my business.

Since September 27, my world has been in a frenzy trying to navigate the aftermath of Helene and the physical and emotional toll it has taken on our communities and so many of my friends and family.

By October 6 (I’m writing this on the 7th), I had lost touch with my business, with what events were upcoming, what content I was supposed to be working on, and who I needed to be having conversations with.

I invested about 30-minutes, catching up with what the next five weeks looked like. I felt grounded, but also overwhelmed at the amount of travel that was coming and how ill-prepared I felt.

From this point on, I became more aware of my feelings and of the level of my energy reserves. 

As a result, I became more intentional in deciding how I would show up for people.


Today’s intention: What barriers might stop you from being intentional in choosing how you will show up?

Cheers!

Frederick
