TheDataNerdI would like to remind everyone we are not all the same. You may see someone who looks like they are doing everything and making it look so easy, but you can’t. Guess what that’s ok. I would love to write a blog and do more public speaking, but I know my limits and I just can’t. I would love to volunteer for charities on a regular schedule but I just don’t have the time.
What can I do? I am a great leader at work and champion my direct reports, I’m excelling in my manager role. I spend every other month traveling out of state to take care of my elderly Grandmother as a primary caregiver. I’m a caregiver for my husband who has MS and help run things at home from afar when taking care of granny. I’ve currently added training for the MS150. That’s all I can handle right now.
And there were time I had depression so bad I could barely get out of bed, go to work and come back home and sleep. And even when I didn’t have as much going on as I do now, I just don’t have the capacity to do several activities. I never have. And that’s ok! We’re not all built the same and we can’t all do the same things. Don’t beat yourself up if you can’t keep up.
