Redefining Success and Self-Care

This is highly important, critical, and urgent. 

You are more than a resource.

You cannot be expected to be indefatigable and constantly productive. Yet, this is the pressure that society puts on us—especially on women, who are more often expected to excel in multiple roles simultaneously (career, family, community, and more).

This mindset is deeply flawed. Every person is a complex ecosystem with unique needs for rest, nourishment, and connection.

This is the myth of the Superwoman

The first step towards a lighter, more peaceful life is recognizing that not being able to keep up with the unrealistic standards expected of us is not a personal failure. 

To challenge this cultural paradigm, we must start by redefining success.

Success should not be about juggling countless responsibilities flawlessly, but about finding impact and fulfillment in what truly matters to us. This involves setting boundaries, prioritizing our needs, and seeking support from our communities.

Redefining Success

I know many people reading this feel too busy for self-care. You might feel that there simply isn’t a moment in the day that you could take for yourself. I understand.

To begin with, you must acknowledge that you have needs that you’re not taking care of. I’m not talking about manicures and massages type self-care. I’m talking… did you drink enough water today? Did you get enough sleep? Paying attention to your fundamental needs is a revolutionary act that will vastly improve the lives of most women.
