Are you up for a No?

Are you up for a No?

 
I get it.  It’s tough to say no.
We’re supposed to be Superwomen and be able to do it all, aren’t we?  And do it all with a big smile, a great job, a clean house, a satisfied partner, well-behaved kids, cleavage and a size 4 ass.
The problem is that we can never really achieve all of what we tell ourselves we should be as women.
Some of us don’t feel like smiling.
Some of us have jobs that don’t challenge us or don’t pay enough.
Some of us don’t find the time to keep a picture-perfect clean house, and some of us just plain hate cleaning.
Some of us have less than perfect marriages, partners that are unhappy, demanding or don’t “get” us.  Sometimes it’s us that are unhappy.
Some of us have kids that might not be considered well-behaved by the TV Nanny that goes into your house and puts your kids in their place.  Some of us have toddlers that bite us, or 15 year olds that simply hate us.
And some of us have larges asses and don’t like showing our cleavages to ourselves, let alone anyone else.
So start a revolution…a “I get to say no” revolution.  But warning…it’s an inside job.
Say NO to believing the stories about what you need to be that don’t work for you, it’s not serving you.
Say NO to not trusting yourself enough to stop striving to be that story even when you know it’s impossible to achieve, ignoring the reality doesn’t make it go away.
Say NO to comparing yourself to women who look like they are doing it all, guaranteed they aren’t.
Say NO to the feelings of emptiness you get when you aren’t as good as a movie star that does it all, fulfillment isn’t about what you do.
Say NO to the people in your life who are just fine with you being that movie star for them, and make you question yourself by suggesting something is wrong with you when you can’t, judge yourself by someone’s else’s standards and you’ll never get it right.
This isn’t about who is currently pissing you off and who needs to have a strip ripped off of them (jeez that’s a violent term but you get my drift).  This is about you and who you are being to yourself as the world plays itself out all around you.
If you are going to stand up for yourself, stand up to yourself first.  Tweet it!
It will make the rest that much sweeter.
Decide today where you need to say NO to yourself.  Let me know in the comments below, and get the hell on it!
