Distribute
Day 5 - Letter D
Today we land on the letter D, and this one is a gentle nudge I know many introverts need.
𝗗𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗯𝘂𝘁𝗲. Spread the tasks, the planning, the organising and the emotional labour that you somehow ended up holding like the office Lost Property box.
December has a sneaky way of placing everything in our laps.
The coordinating.
The remembering.
The quietly smoothing over.
And because we are competent and thoughtful, we often just get on with it. But competence is not a life sentence, love. You do not have to carry the full weight of the season simply because you could.
So today, 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗮 𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗸 𝗮𝘁 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗹𝘆 𝘀𝗶𝘁𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀.
- What can be delegated, shared or simply handed back?
- Where can others step in instead of you stepping up yet again?
- Who can take a piece of the puzzle so you are not doing the whole jigsaw alone?
Distributing is not about being demanding. It is about being human.
𝗦𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝗹𝗼𝗮𝗱, 𝘀𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝘀𝗮𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆.
Quietly, and collaboratively yours,
The Original Flourishing Introvert
Before you head off, cast your mind to tomorrow. We move to the letter E. Any guesses what our E word might be, especially one that helps you stay grounded this season?
