Just When You Think It’s All Too Hard….
I know you have all had days or weeks when it feels like there’s just too much. Too much to do, too much to organize, too much to clean, too much to think about, too much to handle. The breaking point often comes at a moment fueled by lack of sleep and/or hormonal imbalance. For some it’s tears. For other, irrational yelling. Some stomp out and go running, and others retreat to a hot bath and bed. As women, mothers, business women…we have all been there. (For men reading this post…I know you have your overwhelmed experiences as well..this post is about women…so read it for the one you love).
Usually, once you reach that breaking point, you can wake up the next morning and start to get a handle on things. Sometimes it takes more than the emotional bottom to turn things around. Sometimes the tears or the anger are the signal that we need to make a change–that in fact it all is too much and something has to give. As women, our intelligent bodies give us information that will help us maintain balance but often we are too busy or bull-headed to listen. As women, it’s important in business to do it in a way that is synchronistic with our beings. That means that we may not do it as the men do.
Today I cried on the phone when talking with my very old school masculine mentor. I didnt’ mean to cry. I hadn’t planned on crying. But the old guy came out of the blue and complimented my commitment, dedication and leadership abilities on the same day that I was questioning whether I had what it takes to succeed in this business. Here he was telling me that I was unique in this business and that the level of success that I’ve achieved so far is just the beginning. An hour before, after a night of no sleep and 52 hot flashes and a snuggle from my daughter who was concerned that mommy woke up crying–I was wondering if it was all worth it.
