to gain clarity in this
area is to fast forward
your life to your
65th birthday, and
if you were to live
your most ideal way,
what would you wish
people would say at
your birthday party if
they were given the
opportunity to offer a
toast in your honor?
Would they say you
were a loving wife?
A present mother?
A change-maker in
society?
Create this picture
of how you want
to be remembered,
and then think about
the actions you need
to do today to make
this reality true.
2. Schedule
everything
If you want to be
remembered as a
good wife, then you
have to do things
today like go on regular
date nights. If you
want to be remembered
as a present
mom, then you have
to have times in your
day where you put
your phone away and
are actually present.
In order for these
types of activities to
actually happen, they
have to be scheduled.
So, schedule
things like a weekly
date night, daily
aimless time with
you children, and
self-care practices
as regular, recurring
appointments, and
hold them sacred like
you would a client
meeting or a parentteacher
interview.
3. Don’t make life
hard in the areas
it does not have
to be
In all areas of life that
do not necessarily
require your unique
attention, find ways
to delegate, automate
or delete. For
example, this could
look like groceries
being ordered online,
and either being
delivered or picked
up with a curbside
service. Outsource
cleaning to a local
entrepreneur. Even
think about ways
to enlist the help
of family. Is there
someone in your life
C
who is handy and
could regularly check
for light bulbs that
Y
have gone out so you
M
CM
MY
don’t have to think
about it?
Whether you
pay for help, del-
CY
egate tasks to family
members, or pair up CMY
with another mom to
K
share the load, ask
for help in the areas
of life that don’t necessarily
require your
unique attention. This
sometimes requires
you to be ruthless
and give up control,
but the tradeoff is
less stress and more
time.
4. Let go of perfection
and other
people’s standards
of success
This is the hardest
one, but often times
the most important.
Stress is often
caused by our own
expectations, and
the reaction we have
when our expectations
to do not match
up with our reality.
If we can adjust
and modify, and
be gentle with ourselves
when things
don’t go according
to plan, this can be
transformative when
it comes to stress
management.
This sometimes
requires us to let
go of other people’s
expectations and
their standards of
success. What works
for them does not
have to work for
you, and vice versa.
So much freedom
and joy can be found
when we can claim
a version of success
for ourselves.
