Getting Real

I have a confession to make.  I am a procrastinator.  I’ll come through for others, but not myself.  And in January, I realized it was time for that to change.   I’m sick of being tired and using that as an excuse to prevent me from moving forward, I’m sick of distracting myself (with facebook and TV) because I’m afraid of failing, and I’m sick of letting myself off the hook and holding myself back.

Evelyn was sick of sweating in the boardroom, feeling like she didn’t belong in the “Boys Club”.

Susan was sick of feeling ashamed when she stepped on the scale in the bathroom.  

Tracy was sick of feigning a headache every time her husband approached her for sex.

What do these ladies, and myself, have in common?  We got real!  

Getting real is the first step to creating change, whether it’s in, the boardroom, the bathroom, or the bedroom.  When I finally admitted these things to myself, everything began to change.  I began to trust myself, and believe that I would do what I said I would do.  I encourage you to make a list of what you’re sick of, and notice how just that small step begins to create change.
