Are we talking about our Insecurities

Do You feel a pinch for spending less time with your family?

Do you feel inept for choosing your work over family?

You are not alone. This is something each one of us juggling work and home goes through every morning when we wake up. We are as we say are a superwoman, the perfect boss, colleague, team mate, mother, wife, daughter and you name it. Yes, we are all of this put together minus the perfect; let’s admit being human we cannot be right and perfect at so many roles of our lives. And we do not need to stress ourselves over this.

Let’s try to know more about this constant state of war and how we are harming ourselves…

A state when a woman neglects herself because she is seeking to “do it all” to perfection and stretching herself too thin is known as “A SuperWoman Syndrome”

And it is exactly what it says, that you’re TRYING to be a Superwoman. The term “Superwomen Syndrome” is basically a Multiple-Role engagement a woman strives to accomplish by balancing many roles simultaneously without dropping the ball. We are familiar with our power to multi task, we can do a lot as a woman. So much. But we can’t do everything.

Society has made huge strides in letting women have choices. And because of the ability to make these choices, women have followed numerous different paths. Women have the need to do everything and that has to be done perfectly, have an impressive career, impeccable home, kids activities, be a great wife and the list is never ending. But Why? Is it because we train girls in a very young age to appease everyone? We expect them to be perfect in all the aspects, we nitpick on everything they are expected to do. But the consequences are threatening.

Time has come that:

We celebrate their flaws

Encourage them to say no

Praise the ability to save boundaries.

Let’s talk about the mental load that women put on themselves each day. And it is not a one-sided war. We as women also tend to let others take us for granted, we forget to ask for help, and we forget that we can let a few things pass. Most of the times we are scared that when we falter or leave something undone, all the fingers would be pointed on us and going into a self-blame phase.

Asking for help is not a sign of weakness. It’s a sign of intelligence. Smart ladies are team players. I know you’re strong and you can handle it but are you coping or are you thriving? As your life phases change, so will your health needs. Aspiring to a level of perfectionism that is not attainable and sacrificing your well-being consistently will inevitably lead to self-doubt and unhappiness, which will ultimately affect your mental well-being.

So Please .. SIT BACK, RELAX and make sure to carve some space in life for yourself. And honestly, the frazzled look doesn’t really go with you, because the secret to keeping the right balance of work, family, friends and other’s happy is being happy yourself.
