Cathy, this made me feel wildly seen! I laughed, I winced, I nodded. The Committee lives rent-free in my brain too, by the way. And yes, it has extremely strong opinions about “doing less better”... usually by suggesting I do just one more thing. 😂
Oh yes, I can relate! Are you familiar with Human Design? You may find it interesting and useful. Chances are good that you are a “manifesting generator,” a multi passionate individual with an insatiable appetite to explore a range of ideas, interests and projects. You can’t really fight it, it’s more a matter of harnessing and directing the energy in a way that works for you :-)
Hi Mel, so good to see you here! I am NOT familiar with Human Design! But I LOVE "manifesting generator," especially the manifesting part,😊😊! I know I do a lot of generating! If you have a link, please share!
There is a plethora of information on YouTube about manifesting generators and every other human design, but the first step is to get your chart. Here is a good website for that: https://www.veronicamezzettidraia.com/
I really appreciated reading Oliver Burkeman’s thoughts on this topic in Meditation for Mortals. Appreciating our very human zest for life while accepting our limitations can be a fun paradox to play with, as long as we remind ourselves there’s nothing to “figure out”… nothing’s gone “wrong” when we can’t do it all! 🤪
Four Thousand Weeks is one of my all time favorite books. I love Burkeman! I have not yet read Meditations for Mortals, but you've inspired me to pick it up! Thanks you!
Wow, this is so good, I want to use it as a testimonial!
First of all, THANK YOU for such a lovely shout-out. It thrills me that what I wrote resonated with you because saving multipassionates from ourselves is my entire reason for being. It's a gift and a curse loving everything. I wouldn't have it any other way, but I spent 40 years beating myself up about it.
I read Essentialism and ended up with a list so long it debunked the entire premise. I want those hours of my life back 🤣
I especially love what you added to the conversation--that self-awareness is our most powerful weapon. It really is the key to everything.
Love this, Cathy! So much value here. Thanks for sharing your humour, sense of irony, and wisdom. Your podcast looks wonderful!
You are so welcome, Robin!
lol. I think we have much in common.
