How Do You Get What You Want (when you don't always know what that is?)

8/30/2017

It used to be so easy. In those BC (before children) days, when you had the luxury of time to do the things that you wanted to do. Now, time is a precious commodity. 

A recent study showed that moms who work outside the home end up working an average of 98 hours per week between their career and home responsibilities.

Stay-at-home moms work almost 97 hours per week, according to a Salary.com study. 

According to research, this leaves moms with one hour and seven minutes a day to themselves, on average.

That's one hour and seven minutes.

If your day is anything like mine, I bet that this precious personal time is divided into five- maybe 10-minute increments throughout your very long day - just enough time to scroll through Instagram while finishing your cup of reheated chai tea from this morning. 

If you somehow bundle your time so you can spend a chunk of it on doing something special, how do you decide what to do? Experts talk about the importance of building in time for "self-care" but it can be hard to know what feels good anymore or what's worth the investment. 

Is it worth spending your precious time on a massage when you'll probably spend the entire time on the table thinking about everything you need to do?

The biggest question is: How do you get what you want when you don't know what you want anymore?

I'm hosting a mini-retreat for moms to help you figure out what you want so you can start building a life you love. 

Come to a mini-retreat just for moms.
Tuesday, September 19th
7:00 to 9:30 p.m.
In San Mateo

You'll learn easy-to-implement self-coaching techniques in a small group of like-minded moms. We'll spend time talking (you only have to share if you want to), learning from each other, and playing by creating a simple craft project that will help you integrate your new ideas into your day-to-day routine. 

Space is limited to eight moms. 

For more information, visit the Mini Retreats page or send me an email.

    "I wanted to say that I've been reading your blog for a year now and your words and advice have helped me through difficult times with my kids. I've changed from a constantly stressed mom to someone who cherishes every moment spent with the kids (and with a lot less yelling) and has learned to take on less but appreciate more. So thank you."
