There is power in knowing your personal limits -- your willingness to accept these limits can give you the means to flourish. Every human life is defined, to some extent, by limits. No one
person is capable of fulfilling every possibility. We are all born with
unique aptitudes and sensitivities, and it is these qualities that largely
determine the paths we will travel in life. What invigorates, excites, and
inspires one individual may exhaust or overwhelm another. When we understand
what we as individuals are capable of reasonably handling, we gradually learn
to accept that we have control over our wellbeing. Yet determining where our
limits lie can be difficult, as it is likely we have been told time and again
that the discomfort, fatigue, and stress we felt while engaging in activities
outside the range of our comfort zones was all in our heads. If you have never
before given thought to the notion of personal limits, creating a list of
those tasks and situations that leave you feeling drained can give you
insight into your own. |
