My friends who are new moms, have toddlers running around, talk about busy in a completely different light. Busy today means something different than it meant two years ago, and yet it still persists. Sound familiar to anyone? Today, I’m no longer working the 9-midnight corporate job, but I am running my own business which puts busy into a whole new light. Two years ago I was working a full-time 9-5 corporate job which was really more like 9-midnight, working my side hustle, taking clients, cultivating my new live-in romantic relationship, healing my heart, studying more healing, trying to eat healthy, be healthy, have a social life, spend enough time with my family, and the list goes on. When we’re able to feel into this statement and connect with balance from the inside out, that’s when we create balance while on the hamster wheel of life. It’s not attainable as in something for us to check off our to-do lists.
What I mean by this is, balance is not something we achieve. I don’t think balance is a myth, but I do think our vision of what having a balanced life looks like might be a bit skewed.
Maybe it’s time for you to recognize the SUPER-ness about you, to acknowledge who you are in this moment, and maybe at the same time, there’s also an opportunity to connect with the daily cultivation of balance. Yet, with everything we have on our plate, with all that we are tackling, the business’ we’re launching, the friendships and relationships we’re cultivating, with just exactly who you are today in this moment, you actually are a SUPER woman. She’s right! We’re not superwomen so it’s time we cut ourselves a little slack.
“I had to remind myself I’m not superwoman”, a wonderful client of mine said. When we’re running between meetings, chasing after promotions, RSVPing to weddings, baby showers, and birthdays, and jumping between texts, trains, and roads, finding balance can almost feel like a myth. When this question was asked in a session the other day I was reminded of how many of us can feel like we’re all alone on our journey’s to working with balance.
