Recently, we attended the Texas Women’s Conference and heard a speaker talk about women being more unhappy today than in the past. And, just this week, there was a story on our local news about this topic. They reported that women’s happiness has dropped over the past three decades.
When asked, women said that they were too busy.They take on so much responsibility. Many are looking for instant gratification and when they don’t get it, they are dissatisfied. Others, feel that there are too many expectations of them.
Janice Polack, LCSW of the Menninger Clinic in Houston had these five tips to offer:
- Be in the here and now – stop worrying about things that you have no control over
- Stop comparing yourself to others
- Keep a positive outlook
- Be realistic – it may be difficult to be both the CEO of a company and the President of the PTO
- Enjoy the journey
We’ve heard from a lot of women that they have so much going on that they don’t have time for what makes them happy. What do you think?
To your success!
