    Dear BPW Colleagues,
 
barb Every day I hear many women complain, including myself, that there just isn't enough time to get everything done. I understand the metaphysical reasons for this phenomenon but in this physical world is isn't always easy to handle. It is difficult to get the family up and going, do the eight plus hours of work, do the dinner, keep the home clean, volunteer in the community, pay the bills, grocery shop, do the laundry, blah, blah, blah..

I teach many classes, I coach many clients, and I try to be a good support to friends and family. One true thread that runs through all of this talking and sharing is, you can only do your best. That's right folks, you can only do a reasonable amount of things in a set period, you can only complete so many tasks or so many meetings in a 24 hour period. Makes a lot of common sense. But, how many times are you judging yourself for falling short? How many times do you "should" on yourself? I should do this or I should have completed that?

We can't be everything to everybody. As much as many of us would like to believe we are super human, and we need little to no down time, we need to slow down and give ourselves some slack. As you can read I am speaking about myself also.

One thing I am sure of and you can quote this, all you can do is, (drum roll please) is your best! Yes, that is right, your best. Some days will be better than others and some days you will know you could have done better. But you can't do more than that, YOUR best. So, the next time your are running around, judging yourself, "shoulding" on yourself, or wishing your day away with tasks that make no difference in the long run, take a breather and give yourself a break. You are a multitalented, dynamic, intelligent person who cares for others, gives of the heart and understands the human experience enough to know: that a healthy person is not self destructive, a self confident person lives by example rather than lecturing, a human in balance knows that when they take care of themselves they are actually able to achieve more and care for others from a place of love and desires rather than expectation and demands.
All you need to ever ask of others or yourself is YOUR BEST.

With great sincerity,
Barb Tremlett
BPW of Nashua
President 2010-2011
