Don't be a superhero!
Written by Ana Louise Bonasera
We all know that running a household, looking after our partners, children, pets, maybe extended family too PLUS building a business on top can be totally exhausting! But do we realise that if we aren't taking time for ourselves, then our home and business life can become toxic? Most days we feel the enormity of carrying the weight of the world on our shoulders, but ladies I want to remind you that it is okay to not always be the superhero!
I know this feeling, I'm a solo parent of three boys, NJ is 5 and my autistic twins, Jude and Luca, are 4 in January. Trying to run a business along side my life has sometimes felt completely overwhelming and at times I've let it all get on top of me. We've all had those moments where we feel like it's spiralling out of control. I felt lost, who am I? What is it actually want from life? It wasn't until I took time to find what set my soul on fire that my business picked up and my home life become less stressed! YES! Less stressed - every mums goal, right?
Here is what I suggest, wake up 10 minutes earlier than anyone else in the house. Devote quiet time to you, spend time meditating, visualising, journalling, exercising, being thankful, doing affirmations and eating a healthy breakfast that start your day strong.
Find something that ignites your fire and sets you ready for whatever life has to through at you, only then can we find a balance between being a mother and a business woman. If you would like guidance on a morning ritual we have our 'FIRE Starter', and we would love to have you! Join our group at www.bootycampltd.com find us on social media @bootycampltd
