I'm happy with doing things at my own pace, I'm with you, I'm afraid of stretching myself too thin and creating unnecessary stress for myself.

I think it's so important to remember that your life isn't based off people's reaction to your social media image, such as this #girlbosses put forward. Like you said, it'll lead to burnout, when in reality, people should be focusing on balance! I've literally just posted a similar blog today, about taking a step backwards in life, and me not allowing it to damage my ego!<br />Bekki / www.filler-chapters.com Bekki Ramsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18338410361634772689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4462939883317828931.post-17187762159994326922017-10-28T14:51:40.202+01:002017-10-28T14:51:40.202+01:00I totally relate to this.

This...Oh gosh I feel like this a lot at the moment! This is a great post. Being at my day job and getting home at 8pm and then feeling too tired to do all the ideas I had in my head all day, and instead collapsing on the sofa with Netflix and chocolate... it makes me feel like a failure. But really it's just not realistic and sometimes you have to let some things go. <br /><br />I've shuffled a few things round like getting my work outs done in the morning (hello 5:30am wake up!) and not really doing much socially during the weekdays, but I'm learning to let myself know it's ok just to stay at home and catch up on sleep from time to time. <br /><br />http://pollyrowan.com/Polly Rowanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18212448723794943213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4462939883317828931.post-57846613730737179562017-10-11T12:09:17.957+01:002017-10-11T12:09:17.957+01:00Girl I LOVED this post; I've been feeling exac...Girl I LOVED this post; I've been feeling exactly the same lately and absolutely can't agree with you anymore!

Hahaha I love writing like this but trying to find a title that summarises all of that "rambling" in a very witty, interesting line is borderline impossible. <br />The "Girl Boss" thing you mentioned is actually very true; hell, even I aspire to be that all the time! It's always been one of my goals to be able to, as you said it, "boss life", but your words here really resonated with me. This is one of the most well-written and relatable posts I've read in a while. I've been jumping around several different activities myself, so I kind of needed this reminder to just step back and make sure that I'm actually ENJOYING life as it is, not just constantly trying to get to the next level of "girl boss" criteria, if that makes sense. Another quote I can think of is "Do less with more focus", and I think it's a good motto to live by. :)<br />Thank you so much for writing this! I've just stumbled upon your blog and you make such wonderful content. I'd love if we can follow each other on Bloglovin maybe? Do let me know <3 happy weekend.<br /><br />Joanne | <a href="http://lifeinblueskies.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Life in Blue Skies</a>Joanne Amarisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03780364708261219022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4462939883317828931.post-60311728862271117782017-10-06T16:32:13.435+01:002017-10-06T16:32:13.435+01:00I love this post so much.

I think that it's true, we are on the brink of a burnout crisis many times, and it's also true that some girls seem to have a perfect house and life, but what's perfect? What it means for them, may not mean the same for others. And do they really have all that or is it just to pose for social media? I now try to lead life as practical as it can be. I really loved your post and pictures!<br />DenisesPlanet.comAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15401424790499509388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4462939883317828931.post-79646527483780128052017-10-05T19:09:14.305+01:002017-10-05T19:09:14.305+01:00I definitely need to prioritise down time a bit mo...I definitely need to prioritise down time a bit more, sometimes I feel like I never stop! xxCall Me Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14004291410985059850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4462939883317828931.post-78260116836390968742017-10-05T18:13:01.830+01:002017-10-05T18:13:01.830+01:00Yes to this!

You've made so many good points - in particular that we may not work in the same way as past generations, but that we still work *very* hard. The final sentence of your post really hit home; sometimes we can be so wrapped up with how we're 'doing' that we forget life isn't all about that!
