RUMI

Cada árbol y cada planta del prado
parece estar danzando;
aquéllos con ojos comunes
sólo los verán fijos e inmóviles.

Alpha Women

YOU KNOW YOU’RE AN ALPHA WOMAN IF….Alpha Woman

  • when you see it, you have to assume responsibility for it
  • you have lost your on/off switch so your ON DUTY light is permanently on
  • when you wake up at 3am, you use the time to plan, schedule, and manage the world
  • no matter where you are, you always feel like the Designated Adult
  • you realize other people could actually be capable, but they’ll never do it as well or as fast as you will so why not just do it yourself….as usual
  • the clock is always ticking…loudly
  • the only time you put your feet up during the day is when you’re in the dentist chair
  • even with a severed artery, you consider it indulgent to stop to attend to it if you have a To Do list waiting
  • you have 2 speeds: overdrive and out of gas
  • you’d like more free time and rest but when you get it, you feel a little panicky and usually end up cleaning something
  • you keep falling on the grenade….even when there is no one there to save
Oh you bet we can get things done but at what cost to our health, relationships, and sanity?
Alpha-Woman-Relaxing
It is possible to transition from Alpha Woman (driven, restless, having lost sight of herself, operating like a machine) to Wise Woman (centered, discerning, focused but at ease, and using resources exquisitely well) so we can rise to the occasion and live to talk about it.
If you’d like to explore what life might be like beyond Alpha Woman, contact Victoria for a free consultation. You’ll be talking to someone who spent decades on the Alpha treadmill before finding how to live a life of high effectiveness with way way way less effort and stress. Pleasure even.
You can have a significant impact in the world without it costing you everything – really!
