OVERDRIVE — How To Downshift Your Approach Do

OVERDRIVE — How To Downshift Your Approach

Do you live in overdrive? — Rushing, cramming, scrambling, being late, pushing, pressuring, overscheduling, overcontrolling?

Here’s the thing about overdrive — it’s an effective strength, but like any strength if you do it “too much” you can hurt yourself and others.

The MINDSET SHIFT that helped me balance my overdrive was to think of yourself as a sports car.

The thing about sports cars is that they’re special and they can do a lot of things.

BUT, sports cars are NOT built for “everyday city life” because in everyday life the speed limit is 50 km/hr and most people are driving Toyotas.

I’ve learned the hard way (getting sick and hurting relationships) to stop doing everything in sports car mode — just because you can go 150 kilometers an hour doesn’t mean you should!

You can save your sports car mode for when you really need it (creative projects, deadlines, etc) and have the confidence that when you do need it, you’ll be able to pull that skill out of the garage and slam it into overdrive.

But, the rest of the time take the Toyota and do your thing!

Now that I understand myself as a sport car, I use it when I need to, but I have a lot more peach, joy and health, by just cursing along at a regular pace, knowing I can go into sports car mode anytime I want or need to.

So, that’s my hot take on being in overdrive, now I want to know your hot take. Let me know in the comments.

PS Toyotas are awesome — they’re reliable, high quality, good value,” — nothing wrong with being in Toyota mode! lol (also, this is not a sponsored post, haha!)
