A few months ago, I drove to San
Diego, CA on a Wednesday morning for my Global Leadership Program quarterly
weekend meeting with Lisa Nichols and drove back home to Pasadena, CA on
Sunday. I spent two quality time days on the deck with my son
creating memories. Then on Wednesday morning I flew to Dallas, Texas for a
five-day business networking conference.
Do you feel like holding on to
yourself as you juggle work, profession, life, family is getting harder? Do you find yourself some days just
whispering, “I wish I could just have
a little time for myself?”
First, I honor and acknowledge each
of you. Whether you’re a entrepreneur, wife, mompreneur, CEO… you rock! I honor the powerful choice
that you’ve made. I recognize that it is what fuels, inspires, and
fulfills you.
How is it going for you? Do
you get that feeling in the pit of your stomach when you know you’ll miss the
family gathering, parent conference or a planned event with your spouse/partner
or a birthday because of work? How do you quell the voices in your head
and the chatter of self-doubt and selfishness?
Let me offer 5 tips that can
soothe and honor the all aspects of you.
· Understand
your worth & significance: At the
core of all you do is your feminine energy.
This energy nourishes, creates, sustains, and ultimately is the fuel for
everything you do. When you honor you,
you honor and replenish all the aspects of you. Your desires, dreams, and goals
matter and are a significant part of your worth and value. Know your worth is innate and nothing changes
the value of what you bring to the table.
·
Expectations:
Mine or Yours: Too often we hear the
voice of our mothers, friends and siblings whispering in our ears and allow
that to determine what we do. Whether
it’s when you clean your house, how you parent your children, how many hours
your work, take the time to get laser clarity on what your expectations are for
yourself.
·
Create
a “Me” Ritual: What nourishes your soul
and spirit? Commit to your “me” ritual a
minimum of once a week or at least twice a month. Take a bubble bath. Walk through a
museum. Turn the music up loud and sing
off key. Read a chapter in your favorite
novel. Claim it as your ritual, put it
on your schedule and then let others know.
·
Daily
Spiritual Practice: Tapping Within: The energy you need to sustain your efforts
and your spirit is something Bigger than yourself. Tap into this daily just like plugging a light
cord into a socket, plug into your Source, however you define it. Meditate, pray, inspirational reading or
music are just a few options but make it “your” go to practice. Lastly,
·
Stay
Connected: Other like-minded heart
centered women offer you support, resources, validation and laughter. Making connections is the equivalent of a
lifeline to sustain your success and goals. Networking, women’s groups, Meet
Ups all prevent you from feeling alone as you achieve your goals. Commit to twice a month staying connected as
part of how you hold on to “you” in the midst of living your life.
In the end,
holding on to you requires setting priorities, boundaries and recognizing your
value demonstrated by making time to refuel and replenish. When we define our
success as wholistic, we understand that we must honor all aspects of
ourselves: finance, relationships, spiritual and health as necessary to hold on
to ourselves.
