5 Little Weeks To Sanity! Are You Extroverted Or Introverted?

Are you introverted—you get fueled by alone time—or extroverted—you can fueled by time with people? I'm extremely introverted. I love people. I just get tired after a lot of time with a lot of people. So, I schedule very few meetings or lunches and when I do I cluster them so they are all in one day. I find that I can handle a day of extroversion if the next day is more balanced with some time alone. And at least once a month, I take an extended day of prayer to be alone with my Lord usually out in the woods somewhere. This fills me up. I'm a complete introvert. I've learned to lean into that tendency. Have you?
So many mistakenly think that they don't like their career or life calling when in fact, they just need to manage their extrovert/introvert tendency more carefully. If you're a new mom, for example, you'll enjoy it far more as an extrovert if you pack up that diaper bag and head out most days for play groups and lunches in the park. If you're an introvert, you may need to schedule an hour of dad duty each night so you can hide in a bubble bath to get alone.
Schedule the next seven days of your life based on your tendency to be introverted or extroverted. Try this little change before you make any huge changes in your life and you will find a great little power source within yourself.
