When given a task to complete, do you:

Assume no one else will do the work, and it’s up to you to get it done

Talk to your team to see who has the right gifts to do the job well

Feel overwhelmed and avoid eye contact until someone else starts the work

When it comes to your position or reputation:

You often feel like you need to fight and prove yourself by doing more

You trust that God has you here for a reason and rest knowing He will fight for you

You do the bare minimum required and then are surprised when others receive recognition or rewards instead of you

Around the dinner table, your family:

Asks you why you’re so stressed/upset all the time

Appreciates the boundaries you’ve put on your work so you can join them

Feels stress because they’ve been working hard while you’ve been relaxing - again

You have a goal in mind and:

Will do what it takes to get there, even if it means taking a break from hobbies, friendships, or time with family

Work toward it as time/resources allow but remain intentional about resting

Do nothing, assuming you’ll probably fail anyway

When your plans for the day don’t go the way you hoped:

You rush around trying to make it work anyway, feeling annoyed

You’re flexible, not frustrated

You shrug and let someone else deal with it

When you look at your to-do list at the end of the day, you feel:

Like you need to do more to prove your worth

Peaceful about the amount of work you’ve done at the end of the day

Realize you were so overwhelmed by all that needed done that you did nothing

After a day of rest you feel:

Stressed

Refreshed

Tired and worn out

Your home, work, and personal life are in disarray, so you:

Work tirelessly to fix it all on your own

Prioritize the work and spend time in prayer, asking God to heal and fix the things that are out of your control

Choose to binge watch a show to avoid the emotional work required to deal with it all
