I used to run myself down like a 747 commercial aircraft hitting the ground in flames. When I'm running running running and pushing pushing pushing to my badass limits, scheduling time to recover and rest is what keeps me healthy and able a bigger badass each week.
Ladies: Before you were Bad Ass Business Women, did you play down you strengths? and then find yourself in the cycle of having to OVER PROVE yourself?
Several years ago, I undersold the 8 million AMAZING ASSETS that I would bring to the table. This put me at a severe DISADVANTAGE. I was "AFRAID" of what "THEY" would think... She is conceited; she thinks she is better than everyone else; she thinks that she knows everything; she is a BITCH! So, I would play down those assets and then have to work twice as hard to prove that I owned the assets that I already had.
Those days are long gone... I bring it all; mentor many others to bring it; and leave the nay-sayers behind. I spend less time at work because I don't spend the extra time proving that I have the SKILLZ.
This means that I have that coveted WEEKEND OF REST.
Being a badass is a state of mind. We are a movement of women who are proud of our talent and our ambition. As Badass Business Women, we are a force to be reckoned with.
Jessica,
ReplyDeleteMaybe God gave us the 4th commandment for the exact reason we all need to rest on Saturday... I'm glad you are rested...
Peace,
Joe, the badass guy
A woman after my own heart! I did the same thing. Tell Bamboo that Chester sends a 'whassup' and we'll chat next week. Enjoy =)
