Book Cover & Preview Text
Should I answer my boss’s text right now or wait until I’m in the office? Do I have everything I need—keys, phone, workout bag, water bottle? Did I remember to floss? Is my hair a mess? Did I wear this same outfit last week? What should I eat for lunch today? I had so much to think about before I rushed off to the office. I’d scramble through my morning with these questions wildly running through my head. I felt run-down. I was anxious and downright tired too. Thinking it was my duty to cram everything into one day, I pushed myself harder. I thought I could zip through all my emails and the dozens of items on my to-do list for work and still come home with enough energy to cook a meal from scratch and prep for another long day. My mantra was “I think I can” from one of my favorite childhood books, The Little Engine That Could. I kept moving and pushing to do everything I wanted. My can-do attitude got me more responsibility at work. I had not one role, not two, but three different roles at the same time without a raise. I aimed to please, so I just took on more work when my bosses asked me to. Sometimes I was triplebooked for meetings in three different countries. After a long workday, no matter how exhausted I was, I would rush off to see my friends or race to the gym or go out. Resting wasn’t on my agenda. By pounding it out in the gym, however, I was just stressing my already stressed-out body. Even though exercise is usually health, it wasn’t what my body needed at the time. I was only adding to my stress. I got more and more exhausted. All day long and even in the middle of the night, I anxiously thought about the things I needed to do to make everything work. I was scared I’d make a mistake that would cost me dearly—like losing my job. I didn’t want to look like a loser. I’d beat myself up over how I could have said things better in a meeting or how I could have done better.

“I have already started implementing some of the ideas from this book into my daily life and have noticed a difference. I even had a co-worker point out that in the past 2 weeks I seem really ‘upbeat.’ I took time to figure out my priorities and working on them, and cutting out the things that I don’t want to.”
