I can preach it all day long, and, in fact, I do.
"You can't do everything! You're not Super Woman."
I have this discussion with my clients ALL the time.
And I thought I was practicing what I preached. I have learned to be ok with crumbs on the floor and dishes in the sink. I have learned to be ok with having a little higher body fat percentage than before I was a mommy. I have come to terms with the fact that I may only get a shower every other day.
I THOUGHT I was a good example to others.
And YET:
I am a stay at home mom
I am a wife
I run an early morning fitness program, called Sunrise Shred
I have a successful USANA business selling supplements and low glycemic & gluten free shakes and bars.
I am the CEO and instructor for Risquerobics Sexy Chair Dance Fitness
I am developing a NEW fitness program called Twerkolate - Twerk Fitness
Each of these has a laundry list of tasks that must be completed daily. And each and every day I FAIL to do them all well.
This causes guilt. No, this causes GUILT. More GUILT than I care to admit.
And guilt is a horrid, ugly thing.
So I also struggle with the 'Super Woman Syndrome."
I have been painfully aware that I have not been on the right path. I knew this because I was not feeling successful or happy in all the things I do. Yet I still argued with myself that I HAD to keep juggling ALL the balls that I had in the air. I couldn't let anything go.
I have been praying about this a lot.
Today I sought out guidance from some people I respect and I have spent the larger part of today in a meditative state to try to quiet my mind and hear what God is whispering.
I feel that I have come up with a solution.
I can let things go (well not the kid and the husband parts - I'm keeping them). I don't have to have separate projects. I can have just one. I need to make ME happy. I need to take care of my family. I will no longer try to please all the people. I will please ME - and THAT will result in my being able to help more people to live a healthier and happier life.
And, if you are reading this I am asking you to hold me accountable for my statements. If you see me slipping into my old 'people pleasing' ways - please call me out on it.
Here's to wrapping up an amazing 2013 with great clarity and focus and going forth to prosper in 2014 with joy and love in my heart and my SELF and my FAMILY in my center.
My business goal - my ONLY business goal = to help women feel sexy by encouraging health, happiness, confidence and joy.
