When a new opportunity comes up...

Your adrenaline is high and you find a way to make this work.

You don't think twice and turn it down, although it might be beneficial and the right opportunity for you.

You painfully turn it down because you are exhausted.

You take the time to evaluate your current commitments and whether the opportunity is aligned with your goals.

When you are asked to commit to something new, your self talk sounds like:

You don't really have the time! But you can probably squeeze it in!

While that sounds great, it's not really the time or aligned with my goals right now.

Nope! Can't even go there and commit to anything new!

Flattered they thought of me, but I'm probably going to say no.

When your plate gets full, you attempt to regain balance of your commitments and obligations by:

Reevaluating your obligations and re-assessing which ones are of the highest priority.

Halting most communication with the outside world and going silent for a while.

Pacing your energy and not accepting any new opportunities just yet.

Making a list of new opportunities, prioritizing them and planning to check them all off. No matter what.

When you are bored, you:

Evaluate your current opportunities and figure out which ones needs more attention.

Distract yourself with non-productive activities (surfing social media, Netflix binge, etc.).

Look for new opportunities and commit quickly.

Sit back and analyze your current obligations without committing to anything new.

When the stars are aligned and all seems manageable, it's usually because:

You planned it that way.

Mostly luck.

You're good at pulling it off.

You made it work even though you didn't think you had it in you.

When you find yourself over-committed, you:

Step back and take time to re-evaluate your commitments and are ready to resign from one if needed.

Go into hibernation and distract yourself with anything and everything but your actual commitments.

Become so overwhelmed you find yourself scattered, and inefficient and in burnt out state.

Overindulge in sensual pleasure (i.e. Netflix marathons, social media binges, video gaming until the wee hours, excessive snacking and caffeine consumption etc).

When you're on top of your game, you:

Feel like a super hero, so you take on new commitments.

Feel proud of how you've respected your capacity in order to achieve this positive rhythm at work and at home.

Are cautious as this rhythm can be interrupted at any point.

Rarely feel this way because you're typically overwhelmed with everything that needs to be done.

When procrastination creeps in, you:

Immediately pivot and set goals to ensure you’re aware of what you need to achieve.

Become distracted by short sighted instant gratification opportunities and ignore your long term goals.

Become overly dependent on others and place unrealistic demands on those around you.

Entertain it because you can and have the capacity.

When you are feeling like you need to back out of a commitment, it mainly sounds like this:

I hate disappointing people! So I'll just push through even though it might kill me!

I don't typically find the need to back out commitments.

I will need to discuss this as soon as possible in order to manage expectations.

I can’t do it all. I just can’t get it all done! I will have to break this commitment unfortunately.

Which statement best represents your high capacity nature:

My high capacity nature is a curse more than a blessing!

So proud of what I've been able to pull off! Not sure how I did it, but I did!

People encourage me to get involved and share my talents more.

I approach my capacity with intention and focus so I don't waste it away.

Capacity Assessment

Indulgent Capacity Profile

Are you over-committed? Is overwhelm starting to creep in? I bet it is! This state has us addicted to adrenaline. It may activate our people-pleasing tendencies and has us saying 'yes' too much. Those who spend time in this state may start operating from a 'FOMO' (fear of missing out) mindset, leading to chronic over-commitment. What have you said yes to lately? What could you have said no to? What did you want to say no to and caved at the last minute? Check out this quick personalized video! https://youtu.be/zPbX8D87IBM 1) "I’m sorry, I just don’t have the capacity for this right now." 2) “I can see how important this is. Can we take a few minutes to discuss further? There is a lot on the go right now and I want to honour my commitments and to be completed successfully. I may have to put a hold on another project in order to take this one on.” 3) “Thank you for thinking of me for ________________. While I’m not able to ___________________, I would be able to ________________." Click here for more resources and tips! https://www.melaniesodka.com/courses/

Fatigued Capacity Profile

When you say YES, you are saying NO to something else. Sounds like you haven't said NO often enough. You are tired from having too many obligations and commitments. You are not able to keep up with the indulgent capacity tendencies and ended up missing deadlines and/or disappointing others and/or yourself. Your possible people-pleasing tendencies may be taking over and influencing you to say yes too often and to everyone!

Reserved Capacity Profile

You are cautious, sometimes too cautious, before committing or seeking new opportunities. You may be hesitant to commit for different reasons. It may also be that you have so much to share with the world, however you are reserved in giving up your time and energy. 'Analysis Paralysis' is common when in a state of Reserved Capacity. It could mean that you are spending a lot of time analyzing new opportunities before making a decision, which may ultimately leave you behind or missing out. Finally, boredom may have infiltrated your mindset leaving you unmotivated and disengaged. Check out this quick personalized video: https://youtu.be/vHAsrsNf2Os So much more to share!

Maximized Capacity Profile

When you spend time in this profile, you are discerning and realize what your capacity is all about. You have strategically and soundly selected and agreed to the commitments that align with your energy and value systems. You can play to your tipping point while still being in control of your capacity. You are not over-committal and your confidence is soaring high because you've been successful in creating space for your capacity to thrive and serve those around you. Here is your personalized video on Maximized Capacity: https://youtu.be/jTKPUEpFrec This is a great place to be. However, common trajectories for this type of profile are the following: 1) You may start to feel over-confident in the handling of your commitments and start taking on a few more which may tip you into over-commitment. 2) You may also find yourself over-managing your capacity and turning down opportunities that are aligned with your values and that can serve you well.
