126: How To Overcome Your Resistance To Work Less

Playing Full Out™ with Rita Hyland

Do you have a deep desire to work less but find it difficult to slow down despite how much you want to? Many of those in midlife with good careers and successful businesses are finding themselves exhausted today. They’ve hit their threshold where they know the pace is no longer sustainable. Working hard is coming at a cost to our kids and relationships, and more often than not – our health.

I understand. I’ve been there.

We can do all of the things we’re supposed to do: delegate more, hire more people, get better technology or a smarter time management system. Any of these ideas can work temporarily.

But what happens when you get the additional resources, or you finish the project, and you still find that you are missing other priorities because you are working too much? What’s really preventing us from slowing down?

The reason we can’t slow down has everything to do with understanding our motivations and the overused coping mechanisms we use when we are stressed.

It's not our fault we’ve gotten here, but it is our responsibility to change it.

It’s 100% possible to work less and worry less while you do. This episode will walk you through the steps you need to take to work less—without worrying the other shoe will drop when you do.
