Feeling overwhelmed by all thats surrounds you? Do you think you took a bite too big than you could chew off? It is only wise to build what one can manage, only create as much as you can keep up!
In other words learn to say No. By saying Yes to all things coming your way, you end up doing more harm than good to yourself. Drowning in the self-invited pressure of keeping up with the various commitments you made. By being discernful, you respect your time, guard your space and can eventually have a more efficient headspace.

Another way to look at this is that guarding your calm requires doing things at your own terms. If you are not chasing conventional goals then why keep conventional ways. It is essential that you build systems and processes that can help manage your path to success. Orthodox ways equals othrodox results, perfect formula unless that’s not what you were hoping for.
Anything you build requires maintainance. Anything created requires sustenance. Hence use your energies wisely and be picky. Prioritise relentlessly and ask yourself is this for the long haul? Would I be able to commit to it for a lifetime? Does it add or subtract value from my being? Only then should you expand your horizons. For example a pet is cute to see, but behind all that cuteness is tons of upkeep. Buying the latest fad is easy but piling it up is quite unwise. Aspire to adopt a certain lifestyle, great and do pause to double check your priorities. The thumb rule is if your can’t maintain, don’t get. Leave alone hoard time or resources in that direction.
