You are entering into a phase where you could possibly burn out if you don’t drop a few things in your life. The burden of other people’s needs or just life itself is starting to weigh heavily on your emotional and physical body. You may find that everything in life is just too much and the reason is is that you allowing yourself to be stretched to your limit. If you feel this energy coming on you must act quickly and start to delegate any responsibilities that you can. Say no to needy people and start to look at ways of streamlining your daily activities and responsibilities. The world isn’t going to stop by you letting some things go in your life. Do this for your own wellbeing and health. There is nothing wrong with asking for help. This may be difficult for you as you have always been the strong reliable sort, but sometimes we all need a break to recharge our batteries. Be kind to yourself, lighten the load and allow yourself to breathe. The good news is ten refers to completion, so this burden will soon pass to calmer waters.

You know that you are the ‘go to’ person and love the fact that people need you and value your input. The problem with this is you are starting to feel a little resentment as you are totally exhausted by everything you do on a daily basis. You keep feeling that the world can’t cope without you. Here’s a news flash, Yes it can! Start changing your mind-set and realise that you need to put yourself first in everything. It may be a hard concept to get your head around but if you don’t change your thought process soon you are going to burn out. Start asking for help rather than being the hero. Say no to people’s incessant needs and start to delegate some of the things that you naturally thought were up to you to do. Draw on your close loved ones to help you lighten the load. As you feel lighter, your thought processes will lighten making you realise that you come first. Once the self-love kicks in you will make for a stronger person that can still help but only when it fits in with your newly balanced regime.

If you could just live in your own bubble for a month you would get so much more done and feel great after achieving it! The problem is that people around you are slowing you up and weighing you down with their needs and concerns. As you are a kind and empathic person you are allowing this to happen. We all feel good being the strength for other people. Something has to give here though as you are fast becoming exhausted and extremely burdened. You may also be taking on too much work or running around like a headless chicken with no rest in sight! You need to start drawing the line with some people in your life. You need to distance yourself from their lives and problems and let them navigate rather than you guiding them every step of the way. You may also have to make a point at work that you are being taken for granted and being asked to do far too much. It is all about the courage to see what you can change and changing it! Think about delegating things that can be delegated to others. Ask for help if you are struggling and let people be a rock for you for a change. If you don’t deal with this you really will lead to a total burn out. If you do go down you can’t help anyone anyway. Balance is the key here, so start decluttering the things in your life that don’t need to be there!

You have always been a driven and ambitious person. Whether this is as a worker, a parent or a good friend you have always strived to be the best that you can for everyone around you. You hope that you are doing a good job but you have been noticing that you feel exhausted both mentally and physically lately. You fear that you won’t be seen as that solid rock that you always are for people or perhaps that your work might falter in your career. Whatever the situation is, it is time to surrender and realise that you are not a machine. Everyone has to maintain balance in their life so that they can remain strong and reliable for the long term. So lose the fear of thinking that asking for help is a weakness. Lose the fear that people may see you in a different light. By asking for help, delegating chores or lightening your workload you are actually showing boundaries, self-love and control of your life.

If you don’t start letting go of a few things in your life, you will head for a complete burn out. You thrive on being busy and being everyone’s rock but there is always a switch off button when things become too much. If you ignore that switch off button you are heading for more exhaustion both physically and mentally. In your enthusiasm you have taken on too much. This could be caring and running around for others, taking on far too high a work load or putting yourself under too much pressure on a personal goal. You have to take a breather and start to lose some responsibilities that aren’t a priority. Start saying no to the needier around you and perhaps start delegating more in a work environment. You are not a machine so give yourself a break and start to declutter so that you don’t veer towards a burn out. Show yourself some self-love and honour the fact that you have a life too!
