hello there welcome to my YouTube
0:03
channel and I'm definitely not yet to
0:05
waste your time so let's get right to it
0:08
today we are talking about something
0:10
that we are all way too familiar with
0:12
mhm the never- ending pressure to do it
0:15
all I'm talking about being the woman
0:18
who is somehow slaying a 9 to5 running a
0:22
Flawless home raising well maned
0:24
children who love vegetables and having
0:27
a relationship that's so perfect and
0:30
still making time for yourself like
0:32
attending your yoga class making
0:35
yourself some
0:37
goon um some green smoothies attending
0:41
your book clubs and at least getting
0:44
eight hours of sleep a day like
0:46
seriously who came up with this insane
0:49
script who came up with this insane
0:53
script let's stop it right there okay
0:55
because here's the secret this idea of
0:58
having it all doing it all is nothing
1:01
but an illusion designed to keep us
1:05
feeling like we are never quite good
1:07
enough and we we're not doing that we
1:10
are not doing that to ourselves anymore
1:13
right right so today we're breaking down
1:17
exactly why this mentality is harmful
1:20
how it messes up our mental health and
1:23
most importantly how are we going to
1:25
redefine what balance and success looks
1:27
like for ourselves spoiler
1:30
it's not about ticking every box on that
1:35
NeverEnding to-do list okay so stay
1:39
tuned stay tuned with me so
1:42
[Music]
1:43
um the do it all mentality is
1:49
toxic the do it all mentality is toxic
1:53
first of all where did this myth even
1:55
come from somewhere along the way
1:58
Society decided that women should be
2:01
superheroes effortlessly managing a
2:04
career family friendships personal
2:07
growth and of course a Flawless
2:09
Instagram worthy appearance because
2:12
nothing says I've got it together like a
2:15
perfectly filtered Branch
2:19
Pho but let me ask you something when
2:22
was the last time you met anyone who was
2:25
truly doing it all and not at some level
2:29
Crump in Down Under the pressure I'll
2:32
wait I'll
2:34
wait no one exactly because this is a
2:38
standard scam it's exhausting it's
2:41
unrealistic and frankly it's dangerous
2:45
and deadly we are constantly being fed
2:48
that this
2:49
idea of us not succeeding is our fault
2:55
at some level like what we have we we
2:58
are being told We are failing at life
3:01
but here's the thing that's not how
3:03
success works and it's high time we call
3:06
BS on the notion like let's call it what
3:09
it is let's call it what it is you know
3:12
who benefits from this from this me from
3:15
this mentality this
3:16
mindset it's definitely not women it's
3:20
definitely not women it's the industries
3:23
selling us products to
3:26
improve
3:27
ourselves the diet culture telling women
3:31
and convincing them that they need to be
3:33
thinner and the self-help Guru is
3:36
pushing us to be more productive more
3:39
polished more perfect but you know what
3:42
Perfection is boring and striving for it
3:45
will only only leave you feeling
3:47
inadequate because it's a goalpost that
3:50
keeps on moving you can do it all but
3:53
not all at once and certainly not
3:57
without breaking down not without
3:59
breaking down
4:00
so now let's let's get into what real
4:04
balance actually means because balance
4:07
is not about doing everything at
4:10
once it's it's about doing what matters
4:14
to you this is where we flip the script
4:17
this is where we flip the script instead
4:18
of feeling like you have to juggle
4:21
everything on your plate perfectly let's
4:24
redefine balance as the freedom to focus
4:26
on what really matters to you in that
4:29
moment
4:31
I mean that's fair that's so fair that's
4:33
so fair imagine balance
4:36
being fluid and not static some days you
4:41
are you are going to rock your career
4:43
like a boss other days you'll be lucky
4:46
if you manage to put on pens and make it
4:49
through the day without losing your mind
4:51
guess what both of those days are
4:54
perfectly valid you don't have to be
4:56
hard on yourself you can still get
4:59
things done you don't just have to be in
5:01
a rush as if like if you don't do this
5:03
the world is going to stop it's okay if
5:06
your vision of balance looks like
5:08
focusing on your career while the the
5:11
the laundry PS up or spending time with
5:14
your family while the emails God
5:16
unanswered the key is understanding that
5:19
you get to choose what's important to
5:21
you not what Society tells you should be
5:25
important you cannot keep letting people
5:27
run your life and
5:30
okay it's okay if your priorities change
5:34
from day to day life is messy and so is
5:38
balance you just need to work with
5:40
yourself not against yourself and just
5:43
never be hard on yourself so here's a
5:45
radical thought um stop trying to please
5:49
everyone instead ask yourself what do I
5:53
want to focus on today what do I want to
5:56
focus on today you don't have to be
5:58
everything to everyone take a breath and
6:01
give yourself permission to prioritize
6:04
your well-being your happiness and what
6:07
really matters in your life to you I
6:10
mean that's that's the best thing you
6:12
can do for yourself and your loved ones
6:15
that's the best thing that you can do
6:16
for yourself and your loved ones so
6:19
let's talk about um boundaries because
6:22
honey boundaries are everything
6:25
boundaries are everything if you want to
6:27
maintain your sanity and reclaim your
6:30
life you need to get comfortable with
6:33
the word
6:35
no not in a maybe later way but in a
6:41
strong confident
6:43
no no thanks I'm good kind of a way you
6:47
know it's about knowing when to say no
6:50
to the things that don't serve you so
6:53
you can say yes to what actually lights
6:55
you up to what actually is going to get
6:58
you excited is going to benefit you so
7:01
much we've been controlled to think that
7:04
saying no is rude or selfish but let me
7:07
flip that script for you okay it's self
7:11
care it's self care it's self love it's
7:14
self
7:15
respect it's self care so protecting
7:19
your energy your time and your peace is
7:22
essential if you don't do that for
7:24
yourself no one is going to do that for
7:26
you no one is going to do that for you
7:28
so if you're running yourself wagged
7:30
trying to meet everyone else's
7:32
expectations you are going to burn out
7:35
you're going to burn out and even find
7:38
yourself unable to reach your your goals
7:42
that you you you you you are hoping
7:44
they'll get you some way and when you
7:47
burn out guess what you are not serving
7:50
anyone especially not yourself so
7:53
boundaries can look like not taking on
7:57
extra work when you already drunk in you
7:59
know saying no to social events that
8:02
you're not interested in or just telling
8:05
people to take a seat when they try to
8:08
criticize your choices it's about
8:11
choosing you and doing it guilt free mhm
8:17
and doing it guilt free baby because
8:18
you're doing it for yourself if you
8:20
don't do this for yourself who's going
8:21
to do it for you who's going to do it
8:24
for you Perfection is so overrated
8:27
embrace the messy middle
8:30
sometimes just embrace it let me just
8:33
drop a a true a truth bomb okay
8:37
Perfection is a lie that's right I said
8:41
it the obsession with having it all
8:44
together all the time it's it's not only
8:47
unrealistic it's
8:49
boring it's borring real life is messy
8:53
it's y it's too much it's unpredictable
8:57
and you know what that's why what makes
8:59
it
9:00
beautiful that's what makes it beautiful
9:03
no one is
9:04
perfect that's why everyone is so unique
9:07
that's why everyone is so beautiful in
9:09
their own way cuz they are not perfect
9:12
embracing imperfection means accepting
9:15
that someday you are going to
9:19
be somehow because people change and
9:23
accepting that some days are going to be
9:26
hard you are going to make mistakes
9:29
things are going to go wrong but always
9:32
keep an optimistic mind but that doesn't
9:35
mean you are failing that doesn't mean
9:38
you are falling apart it means you are
9:41
simply human and the sooner you let go
9:44
of this need to be perfect the sooner we
9:47
can start living a life that actually
9:50
feels good and let's stop striving for
9:54
Perfection okay let's stop doing that to
9:56
ourselves and start celebrating progress
10:00
because every small step you take
10:02
towards your goals every moment every
10:04
minute you prioritize your happiness
10:07
over societal pressure that's a win oh
10:10
my God that's a flx that's a win so if
10:13
you don't check every box on your to-do
10:17
list today who cares who cares celebrate
10:21
what you did celebrate what is it that
10:24
that you were able to do trust me you're
10:27
doing great you are doing doing great so
10:32
don't be hurting yourself self
10:34
self-compassion oh my God oh my God is
10:37
your biggest cheerleader it's your
10:40
biggest cheerleader so ladies we need to
10:45
talk about self-compassion more in this
10:47
channel if there's one thing we need to
10:50
do more it's it's being kind to
10:54
ourselves
10:56
so let's just be kind let's let's
11:00
indulge more in this in this
11:02
self-compassion journey let's do it
11:05
together we are so quick to show love
11:08
and support to everyone else but when it
11:10
comes to ourselves
11:13
crickets no why is that why it's time we
11:20
we we choose ourself it's time we we
11:23
become our biggest cheerleaders treat
11:27
ourselves with the same kindness love
11:30
and patience with what we offer to a
11:34
friend you know stop being so hard on
11:36
yourself you're navigating a world
11:39
that's constantly trying to put you in a
11:42
box tells you who to be and you are
11:45
still here fighting for your own
11:47
happiness oh that's
11:50
powerful that's
11:52
powerful that's
11:54
powerful so next time you start feeling
11:57
like you are falling out you are falling
12:00
Short

Stop breathe and remind yourself that
12:07
you are doing the best that you can with
12:09
what you have and that my love is
12:13
enough that is enough I mean in this
12:15
world in this world the way it is
12:19
self-compassion is the best thing that
12:20
you can ever do for yourself that you
12:23
can ever do to yourself so now let's get
12:26
one thing
12:27

12:29
great no matter how much pain life is
12:32
going to throw at
12:38

12:41
key to thriving isn't having a perfect
