Good morning! We are not Super Woman... she had a cape. Most super-heros even have sidekicks, Batman has Robin, SuperMan can count on Lois Lane, Luke Skywalker has Yoda and Obi-One. I don't know why so many women feel the need to be SuperWoman or "do it all on their own." While it might seem that makes us more "independent," or "strong," it doesn't make a lot of sense if you step back a minute and think about it.
How many people in this world operate completely independently, capable of doing it all themselves? I can't think of a successful CEO who isn't backed by talented executives. I am unaware of a politician that isn't helped by aides or campaign managers. School and churches have boards for guidance. So why do we think that we can, or should, "do it all?"
Instead of striving to "do it all" or "beating yourself up" when you can't do it all--switch to a "team spirit" mentality. Find supportive players to be a part of your team and ask for help when you need it. Doing everything ourselves doesn't makes us "stronger," it makes us more lonely and needlessly stressed.
Your Turn
How have you tried to "do it all" in your life? What were the results? Who can be a part of your support team? Who can you ask for help?
Your Daily Affirmation:
Today I let go of trying to "do it all" and focus on building a network of support and encouragement.
