Hey Sabrina, I've definitely improved over the years. I still have problems but it's not as severe as it used to be. For instance, I don't desperately engage with people on social media or Medium (or Substack). I just do it when I feel like it, and feel more comfortable not engaging at all, and trusting that most people won't be mad. So when I DO engage, I still have energy and enthusiasm to do so. I'm not running on fumes anymore.
Ah dear Donna thanks for sharing your insights and challenges with this issue.
It's frustrating when you realise things take longer in the end! I still get caught out!
I switch between both patterns depending on what I'm doing or my environment. Day job has been full on for a while so I need to be really mindful during those periods.
I bet you can't wait to get that VA going to help with what you're doing.
I had resisted getting a VA, but now I know that the perfect VA is in the process of discovering me. Even though I was reluctant to write down "perfect," why manifest any but the best fit?!
Ah you made my chilly morning Donna! Appreciate your never-ending support and inspiration from across the pond too!! You're one of the best storytellers - so evocative!

This is such good progress. Important to reflect on what’s changed for the better and realise you’ve done it naturally over time.
Not running on fumes and intentional action - brilliant!
Once again, Sabs, you speak my language. So which am I? From time to time, a check mark in every area.
Well I stopped being the fixer in 2019 when I fired a high-paying coaching client, who kept thinking I was supposed to fix him 😁
This has been my resistance to delegating:
I take it on yourself because "it's quicker."
Even going through the steps of what I expect to accomplish has taken longer than "just doing it." Geez
When we had a real restate brokerage firm, we wrote a pre-employment manual that would shame any large corporation's. 😂
It was detailed but simple. Exactly what I desire putting together to hire a part time virtual assistant.

That's a handy flip of the issue.
You get discovered vs a big tricky search.
I like that.
Sabs, I love coming back to an off-the-cuff comment I wrote, and think, "dang, I wrote that!?"
It's wonderful connecting with you across the pond, and I LOVE your publication! Its name. What you write about. The science behind it.
You are at the top of my must-reads

I'm grinning ear to ear, Sabs!
"You're one of the best storytellers - so evocative!"
You got me there! Me, evocative? Please tell me more.
I'm not begging for compliments, I'm in the process of clarifying what I do better and doing more of that.
