Princess

You don't need saving!  Perhaps from yourself every now and then.  You may need a hand to take care of the kids, to manage your life, a bit of help would be great, but you don't need SAVING.

Women are much stronger than they think they are.  Psychologically and physically.

When I ask women to grab some weights in my fitness classes I am always amazed at the puny 2 lb or 5 lb weights they pick up.   When I tell them that they have lifted much, much heavier than that they shake their heads adamantly 'NO.'  

So I ask them, "Have you lifted your kids? Have you lifted grocery bags? Have you lifted the couch to vacuum under it?" And of course they nod their heads.  Well then.  

When you connect the dots you realize that lifting these weights is not about an isolated event called ‘things you do at the gym.’ Rather, lifting weights and getting strong is about your whole life that includes lifting 40 lb kids, lifting 25 lb grocery bags and lifting an 80 lb couch so you can vacuum under it.

So feel free to feel like a Princess and dress up and look in the mirror and be the fairest of them all, but PLEASE, do not be a Princess who thinks she needs saving.  It’s a myth, it’s a crock, it’s a lie that you disprove every single day.
