“I really need to get my shit together.”

While we all say it, chances are the ambiguity of that phrase can lead us to feel overwhelm, shame, and judgment.

At the heart of what it means to have our shit together are the expectations that have us judging ourselves using measuring sticks that don’t align with our values like planning efficiency, appearances, and productivity.

When that happens, it’s time to get more specific about what “our shit” is and define what it means to have it together.

Unfortunately, there’s no worksheet or decision tree out there that works for all of us. And because the different aspects of our lives are interconnected, when one area is out of whack it can begin to feel overwhelming and spill into our other domains.

If we can pause and discern what’s really happening, we may be able to address what’s hurting or “feeling off”.

Your inside job for the week is to pause and begin to notice what the tipping point is:

• Where you are feeling like you don’t have your shit together?

• What area of life feels the most acute? AND

• What is one action you can take in your own service to shift it so you can breathe just a bit easier?

In Our Conversation Today, We’re Exploring:

• The role of shame, perfectionism, and expectations in that feeling of not having it all together

• How comparison can reinforce our self-critical feelings of not having our shit together

• The questions we can ask to reframe the way we measure ourselves and our progress

• The power of redefining what it means to have our shit together and how one small step can get us started.
