Are you a Superwoman?

Another song reference..."Superwoman" by Alicia Keys. If you haven't heard this song yet, you owe it to yourself to give it a listen.

I hear this song and it gets me thinking, moving, ready to take on the world! There have been times I've felt like Superwoman in the past, but nothing like I do these days. I'm busy from the time I get up until I lay my head down at night (just like many other Superwomen I know).

I check out my clothes before I walk out the door to make sure I'm spit-up free, I have calluses on my hands from carrying the car seat, and my body's not quite the same as it was before baby (but I'm working hard to change that!).

Still when I’m a mess
I still put on a vest
With an S on my chest
Oh yes
I’m a Superwoman

I'm a wife, mother, sister, daughter, granddaughter, friend, health coach as well as many, many more titles. I feel like Superwoman, but do I really want that hefty title too?!? There's so much to do in a day and I am trying to give up the feeling that I have to do it all. I will remember what they tell us before take off and to put on my oxygen mask first because I have to take care of me before I can take care of everyone else.

I don't have the gold cuffs to deflect bullets, so I have to stay strong in other ways. I will do the things that will keep me strong and healthy and give me the energy to take care of my precious family (eating healthy, exercise, and getting my rest).

Oh yes, I am a Superwoman!
And I gladly accept that title, too :)
