I have mornings when I don’t feel like getting out of bed, putting on my “cape” and being a responsible adult. Those mornings I would rather put aside my superwoman tendencies in order to be a vulnerable woman.

Work is work! So is school and interacting with other people. There can be strain and pressure from all areas of life. Sometimes we don’t want to be “the strong one”
or “the brave one”. Sometimes we want to be “the comforted” one and the “pampered one.”

In times like these, it can be helpful to remember these few things:

1. Stay Focused: Remember why you are doing what you are doing. Remember the goals that you have set for yourself and your family. This will help to motivate you to do the hard things that you don’t feel like doing but things that still need to get done.
2. Take it in Strides: Instead of psyching yourself out, by thinking of the millions of  things you have to do and what is required to get these things done, take it one task at a time. First task, get out of bed. Second task, get ready. Then start with a small and simple task. You can build up to the more tedious ones. In no time you would have reached the peak of your seemingly insurmountable hill.
3. Push On: When you feel as though you can’t go on any further, take some time to look how far you’ve come. After seeing your progress, use that feeling to propel you forward into the next stage of achieving your goals.

Takeaway

Remember, you CAN do anything you set your mind to. When you set aside feelings of doubt, fear and unwillingness, you will realize that you matter. You matter and life is as fun as we make it and as creative as we make it.
