The mental math of people pleasing

from You're Working Too Hard

Send us Fan MailWe don't think about this a lot, but people pleasing often comes with a lot of mental math. We try to figure out the exact right "threshold" at which it's OK to say "no" to a new request. At what number of overtime hours can we legitimately say we're too busy to turn down a project? At what level of stress? That fear of just saying you are at capacity without having an ironclad proof that you deserve it leads to a lot of overworking, stress, and burnout. During the "Too Perfect, Too Nice, Too Tired" webinar on June 25th, I will teach you how to step away from that mental math and start feeling more confident in your instincts of when there is too much on your plate.  To register, go to restovergrind.com/webinar.Book a free consult call with me: restovergrind.com/work-with-meEmail me: [email protected] my free videos on the 3Ps of Exhaustion (People Pleasing, Perfectionism, and Procrastination): restovegrind.com/free-videosInstagram and TikTok: @maria_stoyadinova
