ARE YOU
SHOULDING ON YOURSELF
?
"Do you ever find yourself saying 'I should do this, I should do that, I shouldn't be doing that?'"
Why do we as a women should on ourselves all the time? We don't always have to be doing things yet we feel like we do. And if we aren't doing something and being productive, we feel like a failure. Do you ever take the time to take a nap? Do you find yourself going back to bed when the babysitter arrives? And when you wake up, you feel guilty because you feel like you should have been working or creating something?
I went back to bed the other day when our sitter arrived because my little one was awake for 2 hours in the night and...
"I woke up feeling guilty."
We all need to stop shoulding on ourselves and allow ourselves to take time for us. We are no good to anyone else if we do, do, do, and don't take time to be. How amazing would it be if we lived in the life where we worked really hard doing and then we took care of ourselves too? Imagine how much better we would be for our family, friends, and co-workers. Imagine how much more productive we would be if we just took time for ourselves. If you are a shoulder, stop today and make sure to just be!
