This morning I woke up to sadness. My heart felt exquisitely painful.
About 0.12 seconds later my head instantly filled with the 17-things-that-need-to-be-done-like-yesterday.
I had two options:
#1 Let the adrenaline kick in, jump out of bed & start working hard making me/my life perfect.
#2 Take a big breath, rest back & illuminate why my heart was feeling sad.
You know what I did?
I’m actually a little ashamed to say.
Because I should “know better than this.”
I choose option #1.
Like most women do every morning…
Working hard is a drug.
It’s incredibly f*cking addictive.
Because it makes us feel like we are IN CONTROL.
Like we are the SOURCE of all things in our life…. And by being busy & working hard, we are creating the perfect life.
Now I don’t mind working hard. It’s a virtue that represents our commitment, at times.
But when hard work becomes our HABIT & we use it to:
- Constantly be busy
- Be our marker of success
- Distract ourselves from what our heart is truly feeling and
- Avoid telling ourselves the deeper truth
When working hard becomes our habit, then shit gets messy.
We fall into cycles of:
- Believing that what’s on our plate (right now) is the most important thing in the world. Being busy stops us dreaming.
- Numbing out our emotions & feelings through hard work. Being busy shuts us down emotionally.
- Working hard to fix ourselves, constantly striving for the next breakthrough or healing we believe we so desperately need.
- Believing that we have to create everything in our lives.
Being busy stops us resting back into the divine soulful force that wants to move through us, & let us live as pleasure-filled purpose.
If you are a woman who feels:
… exhausted
… confused
… direction-less
… unsure
… like hard work is the path to success
… purpose-less
… unsure how to NOT-be-busy
… emotionally disconnected
… lacking pleasure and sensuality
I know it’s hard.
I know you’ve got work/family/life/1 million other things to take care of.
But I also know,
YOU are more important that your to-do-list.
YOU have so much more to contribute to the world than your effectiveness & hard work.
YOU deserve More.
YOU are allowed to ask for it.
