Trusting yourself + receiving support more easily

As women and moms, we often think it's our job to take care of everything else while our partners are the ones making the money. This dynamic is great if it works for you, but if you're like a lot of moms out there, you feel that this can work differently.

I'm here to tell you that it most certainly can!

This morning I was feeling a little stressed while getting our house ready for a showing. I have my non-negotiables which is usually my workout + walk first thing.

My husband noticed my feelings of overwhelm bubbling up and came in and said, "Do your workout. I'll finish the house. I've got you." So, I did my workout and then went for a long walk. 

While walking, I felt so at peace, knowing everything would be taken care of. I had ZERO guilt which is getting more and more familiar because I used to feel bad for leaving them to do the work and now when they offer, I let them handle it. 

 It made me realize how important it is to let go of perfectionism and trust others to help. I used to be the worst at micromanaging OR I'd do the job again because I didn't love how it was done. (insert eye roll emoji here)

I mean, that must have made them feel worse watching me redo the job I just asked them to do. They would always say, "what's the point, you're just going to do it again anyways?" 

It's never easy trusting others to do a job we have certain expectations around at first, but it does get easier as your nervous system relaxes into believing that it gets to be this good and it doesn't have to be perfect. 

 We get to trust that as adults, they are in their power when they offer + if it feels good, then we get to be fully in ours when saying yes and receiving it with so much gratitude!

Life gets to be this easy and it gets to feel this good!
