Let’s Talk about the L Word.
Lazy. I hate that word. News alert: there are only 24 hours in each day. I see so many people (especially women), put an enormous amount of pressure on themselves to do it ALL. “I feel so lazy/bad/embarrassed” is a very common statement. What I have realized by working with countless busy adults and families, is that we are stretched entirely too thin. And when that elusive down time does present itself, we berate ourselves for not wanting to do tedious home projects. But times are a changin’. It’s so refreshing to see self-care take a more central role in society.
To my clients and potential clients: you are doing a great job. Knowing our limits and respecting our individual capacities is a sign of incredible strength. It is okay to pay for a service that gives us back precious hours and piece of mind. Time is truly are most valuable resource. It takes a village.
