Slay Her
Our greatest gift as women, our ability to connect with others, can, if not balanced with self-care, become also our worst liability. We are nurturers, but sometimes we over-nurture. We reach out when we should sometimes hold back a while longer. We go out of our way to make sure everyone else is happy when we should have let the chips fall where they may and let everyone clean up their own mess.
Referring to the internal female voice that keeps a woman enslaved to duty and forever putting herself at risk in order to rescue others, Virginia Woolf, the English novelist, describes the syndrome and prescribes a drastic remedy. She recommends slaying the woman within who perches herself at your ear chattering incessantly about duty, role, obligation, responsibility and sacrifice. Listen to her and the folks around you will never change. Listen to her and you'll always be wondering what your life might have been like, if only...
"She was intensely sympathetic. She was immensely charming. She was utterly unselfish. She excelled in the difficult arts of family life. She sacrificed herself daily. If there was chicken, she took the leg: if there was a draft she sat in it-- in short she was so constituted that she never had a mind or wish of her own, but preferred to sympathize always with the minds and wishes of others...I did my best to kill her. My excuse, if I were to be handed up in a court of law, would be that I acted in self-defense. Had I not killed her, she would have killed me."
