It is hard knowing when to give up. Giving
up too soon can seem defeatist but clinging on to a relationship/ job/ habit can
be damaging. Wasting energy on things that no longer serve us can ultimately
lead to illness and in extreme cases death. Sometimes becoming seriously ill is
a shortcut to making the changes we don’t have the courage to make or being
given the sack can then free us to do something else without us actively having
to make a choice.
Where the choice isn’t ‘our fault’ no blame can be taken for making a poor choice, or wondering if the grass is greener on the other side of the fence. If suddenly we don’t have grass on our side of the fence, alternative options are always more welcome.

Giving something a go and deciding it is
actually not for us can then help us to put the lid back on the box and file it
away or tick it off the to do list. But how long should we give it before
giving up.
If you’ve got a sick feeling at the thought of doing it then you
need to rethink. Fill your life with fabulous things and experiences that make
your heart sing. Do those things you love. Not just as a treat but as part of
everyday life.
Make a point of prioritizing these things. Get people to help
you do things around the house (or employ a cleaner)
Write your urgent priority list down and
delegate where you can. Then only do the urgent things unless you obviously
have a non-urgent but very useful job that would free you up later to do something
more worthwhile.
Close any energy gaps in your life. If
you’re constantly thinking about it, deal with it , either take action, find a
solution or deactivate it by writing a list to be dealt with at a set later
time. Or find a friend who has expertise or experience to deal with it.
