The High Cost of Overproducing

Suzanne discusses ‘over-producing’ – doing more than is actually needed at any given time. Hence the reason so many of us have no time for self-care.   Today, I begin the show by blowing the trumpet and giving you a wake-up call. This essay, inspired by the post of a dying member of our Facebook Group, Self-Care for Extremely Busy Women, instantly stops all of our protests to self-care.   Then I follow that up with this question… are you doing too much? Are you actually over-producing? You know this is you if you’re the last one out the door at work, if everyone comes to you to solve their problems, if you find yourself unable to say ‘No’.   Take a listen if you truly believe you don’t have time for self-care … or if you just want permission to be … good enough! Because honey – you most definitely do! This one’s for you.   You’ll find more about this idea of ‘overproduction’ in the book that started this podcast, The Extremely Busy Woman’s Guide to Self-Care   May today’s show get you to stop, think about how you’re using your time, and make choices that help you get back to YOU.   You can do it. I promise.   Love, Suzanne     RESOURCES Suzanne’s Blog: Wake Up Call- How Will You Look Back on  Your Life?   The Self-Care Group for Extremely Busy Women on Facebook   The Extremely Busy Woman’s Guide to Self-Care  book   ABOUT SUZANNE   Suzanne Falter is the author of a memoir about her daughter Teal’s death Free Spirited; How My Daughter Healed Me from the Afterlife.
