“Sometimes I wish I’d get into a car accident so that I could have some time without anyone bothering me. I wouldn’t want it to be too bad but bad enough that I was in a hospital bed and didn’t have to do anything at home, and I could take a break from work.”
“Oh my gosh, me too. I never wanted to say it out loud because I thought people would judge me, but I’ve totally wished for the same thing.”
That’s a real exchange between real working parents during a real adult education class I attend.
I have to admit, I’ve had the same feeling a few times in my life. I bet you have, too.
If you’re feeling uneasy about these kinds of thoughts, remember: it’s okay. Emotions are complex. Sometimes, they’re a messy blend, hence the invention of waterproof mascara. But I digress…
I’ve been in their shoes, juggling multiple responsibilities. Feeling so overwhelmed you’d do practically anything to get a break. Anything. While I can still get “overwhelmed”, my approach has evolved. I operate with greater intentionality and conscious choice.
And it’s changed my life.
Imagine if you could, too. What if you could reshape your worldview and craft the personal and professional life you envision? What if you could tap into your untapped potential and engage with confidence and motivation?
