Jasmine Roth Instagram – Early in my career I got caught up in the “boss babe” “hustle hard” and really any other catchy phrases that encouraged a lifestyle of reckless burnout and un-attainable goals mentality. I said yes to pretty much anything I was asked to do and didn’t feel happy unless I was “being productive” which translated to constant movement and fatigue.
I’ve been in “detox” since I had my first daughter Hazel and it’s a constant struggle between wanting to “do it all” and just sitting still and enjoying the moment. And I fail. Regularly.
Now as a mother of two little girls, at 40 years old, it occurred to me that I really don’t want to pass this “gene” on to them. After all, it’s exhausting! So here’s a few things I’ve been focusing on in an effort to break the cycle:
* Intentionality around what projects I say “yes” to and really making sure I’m aligning my work time with what makes me happy.
* Prioritizing sleep over pretty much everything else.
* Making sure I’m setting realistic goals – especially when it comes to my body. I’m a breastfeeding mom that had a baby 6 months ago…I’m trying to give myself lots of grace.
* Letting go of the “it has to be done right now” mentality has been huge for me. I’m still organized and I still push hard, but nothing like I used to.
And I know I’m not alone! Anybody else wanna share? What are you doing to get over this mentality, but still be super successful? ✨✨
