02 | You Are More Than Your Schedule

Send us a Text Message.In this episode, I share three reasons why we get caught thinking that our schedule and identity are intertwined. Our society praises overworking and over-committing. Our culture emphasizes productivity, and as a result, we connect our busyness with our worth. I argue that you matter just by being you. How busy your schedule is or your ability to meet a million commitments is irrelevant to your worth. Overvaluing a packed schedule leaves no room for spontaneity or fun. Instead, we lose our identity in an endless stream of activities and never allow ourselves to rest.Remember, work is work. Whether your schedule is filled with commitments for a paid job or unpaid labor like housework, childcare, and volunteering, being busy is not a marker of your self-worth. You are inherently valuable. Constantly working and always giving your time to others is a cycle we all fall victim to. I challenge you to acknowledge your role and your relationship to your schedule. Everything you do is a choice. Prioritize boundaries for your wellness because you matter whether you meet the commitments on your schedule or not.  RESOURCE:Interested in self-coaching?
