This topic is exactly what has been on the forefront of my mind these past days as the kids have gone back to school and my nonprofit work is kicking in high gear. I get lost in my advocacy work and I'm shocked when the clock reads 3:00. Shoot! The kids are coming home and I haven't done a lick of house work, thought about dinner, but I have gone for a run. I have people in my life who believe there self worth (and other's) is based on domestic chores. I just had a good talk to myself so that I don't forget that my self worth is strongly tied to how I serve others and do good in this world....not how often I vacuum and dust. I can so relate to the fantasy of "I am going to be super mom" on some days, and "I am going to be super advocate" on others. Reminding myself of the importance of balance (and setting a timer so I don't get lost in my advocacy work) seem to lift me out of those crazy "gotta do it all" episodes. Thank you!!!!!Teresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06786921680040766270noreply@blogger.com
