Bitch, You’re Doing a Good Job

We are our own worst critics, right?!

I feel like I need to remind myself to stop and think about all I have accomplished and stop thinking about all the things I haven’t done yet. Sometimes I stay in bed for a long time in the morning on the weekends. I beat myself up about that sometimes because I know there are so many productive things I could be doing with that time. Lately, however, I have been reflecting on all the things I completed the week before and allow myself to rest.

I work really hard during the week to make sure my team is taken care of and the individuals that we support can continue coming into our buildings to have opportunities to better themselves. I work hard to meet my goals every week so it is ok to take time and just rest. I could get up early on the weekends and keep grinding but what would I have left for myself or others if all I did was push push push every single day.

As I am getting older I am trying to focus on how I can shift how I can put more energy into others in other ways to better my community and the environment around me. Trying to figure out how to align my passions with work is always an interesting internal dialogue. I know it takes time and I need to slow down sometimes. To do this, I need to keep telling myself, “Bitch, you’re doing a good job”.
