This week we'd like to re-share the Unspoken Rules that keep working moms stuck in exhaustion and overwhelm. These rules are beliefs that have been ingrained in us by family and society since childhood. Often we aren't even consciously aware of them anymore, but we still follow them and they can have a lot of power over how we feel and how we act.
I've found that all high-achieving working moms have Unspoken Rules that boil down to one ore more of 5 categories.
They all center around what we think we "need" in order to feel good:
In order to feel better, I need...
1 Them to change / This thing to change (Arguing with Reality / Control Enthusiasm)
2 To be perfect/To get it right (Perfectionism)
3 Them to like me / approve of me (People-pleasing)
4 To get more done (Hustle Mindset)
5. People to be logical (Hyper-Rationality)
These Rules aren't all bad; in fact, many of them have helped us succeed in the past. But if you're struggling right now, I guarantee that at least one or more of these rules is at the root of it.
Listen to hear more about how these Rules show up in our lives, how to uncover your Rules by asking "why is this a problem for me?" and more!
This is just a quick overview, so be sure to also grab the free replay & slides from my webinar " How to Feel Better: Stop Following These 5 Unspoken Rules for a deeper dive into this topic.
