I had a strivers moment I thought you’d appreciate. I woke up today tired and grumpy, pushing through to get to work and through the day. Somewhere around mid day while having a conversation with a friend about my terrible mood it occurred to me that I had done this entirely to myself. I spent the whole previous day in turbo mode- when my daughter spent 3 hours doing LEGO on her own l, did I take the chance to recharge my own batteries?! No! I did 3 hours of lawn work!! Shocking that I left myself exhausted with nothing left in my tank and yet seemed surprised by my own internal feedback :)
I’m so humbled you thought of my work and to share - I had the same experience recently after a hard day, when I told myself I would sit down, and instead found myself doing everything but (see organizing Halloween costumes 🤦🏻♀️). It’s about noticing, and starting to make more deliberate choices when we do. Be gentle!! It’s all just practice, and I’m so glad you’re doing it with me Sarah 🩷
