Lifted Ladies

Hi ladies! Have you ever found yourself overwhelmed by work, reaching a point where you feel completely stuck and unsure how to navigate the situation? I can relate. It seems to happen to me about twice a year, where the stress gradually builds up until it becomes unbearable. During these moments, all my bad habits resurface out of nowhere: I feel depressed, neglect self-care, become easily distracted and irritated with my children, and experience sleepless nights. It's as if my entire being short-circuits, making it even harder to tackle the work-related challenges at hand. This past week was one of those weeks where the work hours, evenings, and even weekends were insufficient to keep up with the mounting tasks. Feeling on the verge of tears, I contemplated giving up, it was a complete mess... Work overload is an all-too-common challenge faced by many professionals. The pressure to meet deadlines, the constant influx of tasks, and the expectations from higher-ups can easily lead ...

Hello Ladies, Many of us spend a lot of our time doing professional writing as part of our jobs, all work-related and company-focused. For me it’s satisfying in its own way, since I love writing, but it doesn't do much for my own well-being. Lately, I've stumbled upon something that's been a game-changer for me: writing for myself.  I started journaling a year ago, noting down all my worries, stress, and burdens.  It really helps to release some of that stress, although it’s not my second nature yet. Recently, I took it a step further by writing blog articles about the challenges I face in my daily life and how I'm trying to overcome them. Turns out, that's a real rewarding activity for me! It's like hitting three birds with one stone: stress relief, personal growth, and helping others. Those three things? They're key in finding happiness in life. Journaling: Letting It All Out Journaling is a stress releaser. You grab a pen and paper (or your laptop), a...

  Being a mother is the best thing in the world! It's an incredible feeling to be together with my own tribe, embarking on our adventure in a new country far away from home. This beautiful and rewarding experience also comes with its fair share of challenges. Living abroad for a full-time job without a partner adds an extra layer of pressure, making it overwhelming to juggle multiple responsibilities. The guilt that arises from not meeting expectations of motherhood can weigh heavily on my shoulders. Balancing work, motherhood, and personal well-being sometimes feel impossible. In this blog, I aim trying to change my perspective and explore ways to manage guilt, finding a healthy balance between our various roles. 🚀Change Your Perspective: Recognize that being a working mother is a courageous thing to do, especially when managing the household single-handedly. I am grateful for the opportunity to provide for my family financially and to show my children that a mother can be as...

Hello Ladies,  In any job, encountering disappointment at work is almost inevitable. But when it happens, it can be heartbreaking... Despite your best efforts, your boss is not satisfied with your work.  It happened to me recently. And it broke my heart...  I decided to share my story and try to reflect on the situation and come up with solutions. To help myself, but also to help any of you that have faced a similar situation.  Here is the story of what happened to me:  " Months had passed since I had taken on extra responsibilities to help my boss out, working tirelessly and sacrificing my personal time. But now, the workload had grown into a huge mountain, and even weekends were no longer enough to clear the backlog. I had poured my heart and soul into my work, pushing myself beyond my limits.
