Episode 4: masterclass on quitting

Overdoing is toxic.

Which is difficult to admit, coming  from the generation that was specifically told to "go above and beyond".

To overdo is to engage in excessive or unnecessary behavior beyond what is appropriate or reasonable for a given situation. 

It often involves taking things to an extreme.

For example- overworking, overspending, or overindulging. Which leads to negative consequences and diminishing returns.

Signs of overdoing:

• physical exhaustion
• neglect of personal responsibilities
• declining mental or physical health,
• diminished enjoyment or satisfaction from the activity 

Instead of overdoing, 

I challenge you,

Do only what is asked

Take breaks

Recalibrate your intentions

Ask for help 

If you've done all these, yet continually find yourself in a cycle of overdoing, consider quitting.

It may not be a popular opinion. & that's okay. 

Hear me out because context is everything. 

Quitting must be thoughtful 

It's no spontaneous act

Perhaps you mediated. Prayed over it. Chat with your therapist about it. Given it ample time. Considered the necessary aspects. 

Still-  it doesn't sit well with your soul. 

Quit.
