Just had wine with 2 other G.I. Joe exes. Awkward-no. Delicious and validating as to why I dumped his ass- yes!

Oops I Did It Again!

Image
A coaching colleague of mine just called me out yesterday! I was filling her in on what was going on in the last few months.  I shared that I worked myself into the energy point of no return.  I was burning out.   She quickly pointed out that at the same time last year, I was telling her a similar story about how I hustled so hard I needed to take a break.  She highlighted that it appears that August is the season for slowing down.  But I shouldn't be working so hard until I'm at the brink of burn out AGAIN.   Oops! I did it again.  I got lost in the game.     What's interesting is that we focus on bad habits like smoking, over eating, negative self talk but I think we forget that how we work can also be a habit that needs close attention.   My name is Joyel Crawford and I'm a workaholic. I hustle until I can't flow no mo.   Building your own business is not easy or cheap.  I learned that for 18 yea...

Working while sick? Cut that crap out, go home and rest!

For years I would struggle and go to work sick and contagious because I needed to get the work done.  My team needed me.  The business needed me.  They can't function without me.  What I didn't realize is that when I'm not at my best, I can't be my best. Yeah, I got the work done or the webinar completed or the folks trained but they didn't get 100% Joyel, they got 50-65% at best.  That's no bueno.  Showing up while sick doesn't make you a hero.  It fosters a lack of self care which (as I slowly learned) can lead to other deeper issues along the way.  I developed larger health issues along the years that accumulated into some pretty scary stuff.  It was my body's way of signaling me to slow the hell down!  But I didn't listen until I was 4 meds in, 2 fibroid removal surgeries down and had a stress related cough that gave me a hernia to realize that working while ill is not the answer to a more productive life. I'm writing this note t...

My Funny Valentines

Praise God!  Harvey really made a great impression. He was handsome, polished, well spoken, educated and sane.  I'd like to repeat the word "Sane."  We had a fabulous lunch date and it lasted for about 4+ hours.  We were talking so much that the server came back several times and started to believe that we weren't going to order.  We were able to sit outside in the sun. We had so much to talk about and didn't run out of topics.  The comfort level was well...sorry to be redundant...comfortable.  We took a walk on Sullivan's island after lunch and it was just nice.  We made plans to see each other later in the week- Tomorrow-Thursday.  Both of us reached out to the other the next day to share thanks and happy anticipation to seeing each other on Date number 2.  (Cue dramatic music). And we talked on Valentine's Day, wished each other a happy one and agreed that every day should be the day you acknowledge you care about someone. Con...
