It’s Time for Women to STOP Worrying About Being “Too Much” We are living in a time when women are rising to new heights which means they are regularly being confronted with the fear of being "too much". For women in business this is pervasive and costly. A few ways women can be perceived as "too much" re: speaking up about their successes and achievements. "Sharing one too many photos of their cute kids." "Telling one too many people about that date night." "Looking a little too good in that swimsuit." These can lead to being publicly attacked on social media or privately slandered which in turn leads to women dimming their light and walking on egg shells in hopes of avoiding conflict and judgement. The minute a woman feels it's unsafe to shine she will begin to overthink, worry, and fear how she shows up in the world. Women are afraid of being criticized, ostracized, and abandoned by other women for simply being who they are. Five ways to release the fear of being "too much": 1. Approve of yourself. 2. Connect deeply to those you serve. 3. Remember the legacy you wish to leave. 4. Forgive those who have been unsupportive in the past. 5. Be part a community of bright, successful women. 6. Accept you can have it all. 7. Celebrate everything! May you be a woman who chooses to shine so that others may be reminded of all they can be and do. ~ Adriana Monique Alvarez #2020thoughts #timetostop #dontdullmyshine #liveyourbestlife #yournottoomuch #celebrateeverything https://www.instagram.com/p/B7yYJ92l1rbn1WGrQVwFC57LbbE21XxRD6V6E40/?igshid=1j5v59qp82s9i
