We are in August already. Do you feel like you haven’t done anything this year? Me too – even when I am a busy bee! I do not know about you, but as a woman, and definitely, as a mum, do you have the feeling that everything is in chaos more than ever since COVID-19?
And still, the laundry has to be done, food has to be on the table, kids want to be entertained, and grandparents need to take walks, just like the dog. Are you still smiling?
As I have been used to getting called for emergencies since childhood, I am kind of “used to all that.” Things that other people experience as apocalyptical. So, I am pretty calm, and yet I still feel like “the last woman standing.”
I should probably become a crisis manager or taking care of many kids, as I smile when others cry, I am positive when others are totally down, and I cheer up when others are falling apart to take care of them in bad times.
The last woman standing is a life motto!
As I nearly died four times over, I witnessed terminal care, and I also built others up in the times of crisis I have seen since last year. For many, the world they believed to be real got shaken (not stirred!).
What about you? Did COVID-19 change you? If so, in which direction?
I checked again my core values which are:
Collateral
Passionate
Enabling
I know that my core values give me the strength and security to go on, deeply trusting that everything will work out fine!
As the last woman standing, giving hope to others, both online and offline, I see that talking to strangers or giving a smile can support others, can make them see their world differently than they did before.
Since childhood, I have stood up for my beliefs and felt like a highly sensitive person. I just “knew,” I knew everything would be better one day. I just knew that this small stuff doesn’t count later in life. I just knew that trusting my intuition and vision. I could not only reach the stars but fulfill my dreams. And this attitude has led me to beautiful places and people to this day.
I love being the last woman standing, smiling, and giving kind words to others, not only in times of crisis but right now, to help them see another future than they saw before our encounter!
What are your core values, and how do they help you in times of crisis?
Who are you without your values and the filters you learned from others?
And what if…
You were the last woman standing? Who would you be?
