As a woman who constantly strives for success, many of us feel obligated to keep going, and going, and going.

A big burden has been placed on the independent, modern woman. You’re required to be a super mom who can take your children to soccer practice, and violin lessons, while having a career so you’re “not just a mom”, while being an amazing wife who must keep fit and attractive for your husband, while maintaining a home that must be clean, and ever so slightly elegant, and cozy.

Whew! That’s a lot!

As a mom, you know everyone’s schedule, allergies, food preferences, clothing size, extracurricular activities, and other information.


You’re the one who knows how long the milk will last, how much bread to buy, and when to buy it, where the extra trash bags are stored, and when your mother-in-law wants to visit, when the PTA is, and whose your child’s best friends, their parents, and their contact information. And, most everyone in your family, even your (ex) husband, just took it for granted.

Like many women, you didn’t even notice, or you were convinced that you didn’t mind because no matter how tired those burdens have made you, you believed that that was what was required of you.

Day in and day out, for years, for decades…

Sure, there were days when everyone just let you stay in the tub with a glass of wine or something stronger, some jazz, and the scent of your favorite candles… And you felt recharged after but how long did that last?

The sad truth is, you may not have realized how tired you were or how tired you are still - emotionally and mentally, and even physically.


Because you gave, and gave some more, and gave a bit more… Without asking to be appreciated, rewarded, or granted some real rest.

But another, even sadder, truth is… Many women think that acknowledging or giving in to the different levels of fatigue is a sin, that it’s a bad thing. Are you that woman?

Acknowledging that you’re tired should not be in any way detrimental to what you are or who are. We are all entitled to our ups and downs. Being a superwoman does not mean that you have to be on or up and about all the time.

Taking time to replenish yourself should always be a top priority because you can’t give what you don’t have… And when you push, and push, and push, you will end up resenting yourself, and even your life.

Ladies, getting the rest that you need - whether it’s physical, mental, or emotional is important to be who you are. You don’t have to take everything on to be a good person, or to be a great mother, or a lover. Knowing what you need and giving that to yourself will mean that you become filled and then you have more to give.

But in giving what you need to feel rejuvenated and healed, no one can decide for you, and no one can do it for you.
