Love Yourself without burning out
This week and every week, I talk to women about loving themselves and finding their self worth. Many women I see have lost their identity and worth because they are too busy and tired to even think about themselves. So many high achieving women put their jobs, their children, spouses, and others before themselves. Some women wake up thinking, who am I and what happened to all the things I used to love?
Many women are burnt out and don’t even realize it because its not always dramatic. Sometimes it can look like functioning, succeeding, but slowly disappearing. Have you ever seen an old friend and thought to yourself, “They lost their spark?” That is one huge indication that somebody is burnout, depressed, or something is going on in their life that they aren’t ready to talk about.
I want to help women bring back their spark and shine bright!
I want to help women love themselves again.
I want to help women understand that they don’t need somebody to make them happy, they have what it takes.
We need to find out how to love ourselves INSIDE our reality. We can’t usually quick our responsibilities (but if you can find some to cut, great!) and we might not want to quit our job or business. But we can tweak some of the extras that we might not NEED. Self love is treating yourself the way you want others to treat you. Its respecting yourself instead of running yourself ragged.
Women burnout differently than men. They are often holding on to their dreams, being independent, nurturing, social, emotionally available, and we are expected to look good while doing it all! So here is a little reminder of burnout symptoms that women often ignore.
Irritability
Resentment
IBS and stomach issues
Chronic headaches
Rashes
Depression
Fatigue that sleep doesn’t fix
Loss of joy
Burnout isn't a weakness. It’s overload. Some stress is good. Bad days happen. But burnout creeps up and makes you not care anymore.
For Valentine's Day, I want you to remember that the longest relationship you will ever have is with yourself. Romance her, treat her special. But most importantly, stop running her ragged.
