The Power of being "Superwoman"

     Many of us woman consider ourselves to be the modern day version of superwoman.  We work hard from the moment our eyes open to the moment we go to sleep.  We manage to get the kids feed, dog walked, lunches pack, garbage out to the road and the kids to school before its even 9 o’clock in the morning.  We go to work, bust our asses till 5 o’clock, come home to cook our families’ dinner, clean up after dinner, work on laundry, help little ones with their homework, maybe sneak in a few kisses from our man, get the kids bathed and ready for bed and by this time is 9 o’clock at night.  Sound familiar?  Probably, because that is the normal “routine” that many of us find ourselves doing on a daily basis. 

       Now, don’t get me wrong there is nothing I love more than being a mother but there is something missing from the routine I spoke of above and that missing piece leaves a rather negative tone to our daily lives.  Any idea of what the missing piece is?  It’s you.  You are missing from your daily routine and without your presence your days are incomplete.  As mothers, lovers and providers we tend to focus so much energy on taking care of everyone else in our lives that we neglect to take care of ourselves.  There is a catastrophic problem with this however, our love is what holds our family together and when we do not take time to love and appreciate ourselves we often do not feel that others are appreciating us either.  Do you follow where I’m going with this?  Other’s appreciate us as much as we appreciate ourselves.  Need some TLC from your one and only?  Ditch the sweats, put on something sexy and remind him of how much he wants you.

       We've all seen Superwoman, she’s sexy as hell so to truly consider ourselves “Superwoman” we must take care of ourselves.  This is what I imagine Superwoman’s daily routine looking like.  Wake up, look in the mirror and tell yourself you’re beautiful and nothing can stand in your way.  Kiss your man good morning and remind him of why there’s nothing better than waking up next to you.  Have breakfast with the kids, walk the dog while the kids take the garbage to the road before school.  Take the kids to school and go to work knowing that your hard work supports your household.  Come home after work, have dinner with your family, contemplate folding the laundry and decide it can wait until tomorrow.  Give the kids a bath and have some play time before bed.  Cuddle on the couch with your one and only and unwind from your busy day.  Shower, maybe get a little frisky and go to bed feeling productive, appreciated and more than anything loved.  Do you see what I did just there?  I took the same daily routine that you were doing before and I added you to it.  Sound’s a lot more appealing doesn't it?  It should, you work hard to give your family a good life and you deserve to cash in on the fun as well.  Take some time to appreciate your mind, body and spirit and carry your new found confidence throughout your daily life.
