Boy did we have a rich conversation in my recent workshop!

We're different, yet so similar!

Here's what I mean:

Some of us attending the workshop were young mothers and others were actively working toward retirement.

We lived in different states (countries, even).

And we worked in varied industries, like education, healthcare and finance.

Yet... we have one thing in common....

We are tired of being tired!

Maybe you're tired of being tired, too!?!

So, I'm going to tell you what I told them....

It's NOT your fault.

We live in a fast paced, hustle culture... and we've been taught to:

~Notice and Fix the issue

~ Do what it takes- “If it’s worth doing, it’s worth doing right."

And none of that is bad. It's just very one sided.

Our approach has been heavily tipped toward others. (Think about sitting on a teeter totter and you're doing all the work.)

Highly capable, confident women are slowly losing their health, their relationships and their happiness because of unconscious self abandonment.

As fixers, and doers, and keepers of the peace…

We’re bleeding out!

So, what do we do about it?

The way I see it...

It’s going to take a major shift in how you show up;

so that you show up for yourself as much as you show up for others.

That might look like:

~ Keeping that appointment with yourself and actually going to the gym (even IF your friend asked you to pick up her kid from school)

~ Keeping your commitment to yourself and going to bed by 9:30 pm (even IF your teenagers aren't home yet)

~ Keeping your word to yourself and taking a full hour for lunch (even IF you're not done with the morning project)

You stop the bleeding by shifting from self abandonment to self choosing.

I encourage you to give it a try this week.

How will you choose yourself this week?

I'd love to hear! Reply and let me know.

Cheering you on, as you say YES TO YOURSELF!

Hugs,

Lisa

P.S. If you've already tried to fix your low energy and exhaustion...you're probably realizing that creating a life that sustains and supports you takes more than just setting boundaries and learning to say NO.

P.S.S. When you're ready for a system and the level of support that will stop the bleeding and end your burnout cycle, schedule a consultation with me and we can fix this before summer's here!
