Life has always been a challenge for us humans. In addition to the aspects
of life that we have little control over, say, the illness that has
invaded your family's life or the fender bender you were in and just
found out your spouse forgot to pay the insurance, we seem to create
more misery for ourselves by adding feelings of guilt to the picture.
Life is difficult
enough without extra misery caused by our silly insecurities. Needless
to say unnecessary guilt is not helpful. It only adds that much more
pressure to our already overburdened lives. When we are feeling bad,
guilty or unhappy, we tend to withdraw and have little to give back
to our families and especially our mates.
We can't keep the fire burning if we're over-occupied with bashing
ourselves for not being perfect wonder women.
We can do wonders
for our families and ourselves by reminding ourselves that we needn't
be perfect. Take the pressure off. Stop volunteering for everybody
that needs your help. Choose one charity instead of six to be involved
in and give some nurturing time to you and yours. Your family will
notice and enjoy a happier healthier woman!
So be kind to
yourself. Tell the guilt to take a hike and concentrate on a slow
and steady climb of improvement, rather than making 64 Instant New
Years Resolutions that would be almost impossible to live up to.
