Overwhelmed and Time-Starved? Here’s the Real Question You Should Be Asking

Are you asking this wrong question?

When life feels uncomfortably full and you’re searching for a way to cram even more shit into your 24 hours (yet again), consider…

…Instead of, “How do I do more?”

…Try, “How do I do less?”

What can you hire done?

What can you delegate to other household members?

What can you just stop freaking doing?

What can you say no to (that you don’t want to do anyway)?

 Systems help, and I rely on lots of systems. I have a growing business, two growing boys, a traveling husband and a FULL life. Systems help, but girl, 𝗢𝗩𝗘𝗥𝗘𝗫𝗧𝗘𝗡𝗗𝗘𝗗 𝗜𝗦 𝗢𝗩𝗘𝗥𝗘𝗫𝗧𝗘𝗡𝗗𝗘𝗗.

 I learned the long, slow, painful, 𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗱-𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗱🤨 𝘄𝗮𝘆 that life doesn’t have to 𝘶𝘴𝘶𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 feel: 

EXHAUSTING

IMPOSSIBLE

OVERWHELMING

DAUNTING

LIKE DROWNING

SUCKKKKY 

It’s not supposed to suck. The ambitious career mom life IS full, but it’s not the “painful” path. It took me so long to learn that! I had to give myself permission to stop suffering, and acknowledge that there is another option. 

If it feels like too much, it’s not Life’s fault. It’s time to change your thinking. 

—Decide what you’re 𝘯𝘰𝘵 doing that you want to be doing. 

—Decide what you 𝘢𝘳𝘦 doing that you don’t want to be doing. 

—Work from there. “How can I do less of what I don’t want, more of what I do want, and leave time to rest, think, and BE?” 

—Release everything you’ve been insisting is mandatory, and start painting a new picture of how things get to be for you.

Hear this: it doesn’t have to suck. If life feels impossible, you CAN choose another way. I’m living proof. 🙋‍♀️ My circumstances didn’t change, I did. 

You have options.

You have power.

You get to decide.

You get to choose how you experience life. 

So choose again. 💗
