Livet er ikke en øvelse, gør dit bedste for bare at "leve" det.

Min første tanke, da jeg blev præsenteret for temaet om at deltage i dette meget interessante portræt for “power kvinde”, var ‘hvorfor mig, er jeg virkelig en power kvinde; Hvad betyder det egentlig«. Efter at have reflekteret lidt mere, indså jeg, at vi alle er power kvinder på en eller anden måde – vi anstrenger os alle og kæmper for et eller andet aspekt i vores liv og er de bedre versioner af os selv i disse aspekter, uanset om vi er opmærksomme på det eller måske ikke altid.

Med årene gået er jeg kommet til virkelig at sætte pris på min familie, partner, nære venner / bekendte, gode arbejdskolleger, karriere, lille virksomhed, interesser, mere og mere. Selvom jeg også indser behovet for at prioritere, hvor der er mest brug for mig, kan det være af værdi, men også ‘passe på’ mig selv bare en lille smule. At sprede mig for tyndt gør mig mindre for andre – det var lidt en øjenåbner – behovet for egenomsorg. Jeg prøver at minde mig selv om, at jeg bare er et menneske med mange stærke sider, men også nogle svage sider, nogle hårde overflader, men også følsomme punkter. Man er nødt til at acceptere sig selv eller i det mindste prøve, og prøve endnu en gang, og ikke være for hård ved sig selv for meget, hvis der er en dag eller periode, hvor tingene bare virker skæve, eller føler sig misforstået. Ligesom vi er mennesker, er andre det også. Ved at være positiv over for verden kan udfordringer mødes med en positiv energi – dette er en del af at være en power kvinde (eller person) – der accepterer, at vi kan begå fejl, men ønsker at forbedre tingene næste gang. I min hverdag forsøger jeg at bringe denne lille go-to holdning til min karriere, forretning, personlige forhold. Så tilbage til mit inspirerende citat, ” life is not a rehearsal, try your best to just ‘live’ it “.

Life is not a rehearsal, try your best to just ‘live’ it.

My first thought when I was presented with the theme of participating in this very interesting portrait for “power kvinde”, was ‘why me, am I really a power kvinde; what does that really mean’. Upon reflecting some more, I realized we are all power kvinder, in one way or another – we all exert ourselves and champion for one aspect or another in our lives, and are the better versions of ourselves in those aspects whether we are aware of it or maybe not always.

With years gone, I have come to really appreciate my family, partner, close friends/acquaintances, good work colleagues, career, small business, interests, more and more. Though also realizing the need to prioritize where I am needed most, can be of value, but also ‘take care’ of myself just a little bit. Spreading myself too thin makes me less for others – this was somewhat an eye-opener – the need for self-care. I try to remind myself that I am just a human being, with many strong sides, and yet also some weak sides, some tough surfaces, but also sensitive points. One has to accept one self or at least try, and try yet again, and not be too hard to one self too much, if there is a day or period of time, when things just seem off, or feel misunderstood. Just as we are human, so are others. In being positive towards the world, challenges can be met with a positive energy – this is part of being a power woman (or person) – accepting that we can make mistakes, but want to better things next time. In my every day, I try to bring this little go-to attitude to my career, business, personal relationships. So back to my inspirational quote, “life is not a rehearsal, try your best to just ‘live’ it “
