You Cannot Be Serious

Elizabeth Lyons

Elizabeth Lyons had a great life raising 5 beautiful kids (who tended to lie down on the floor of Target when things weren't going their way). She was blessed with great friends (who she had little time to see). She had a well-paying job (that she enjoyed just enough to make it palatable). And then one day, while driving down the highway, "Happy" by Leona Lewis came on the radio. While she hadn't ever fully paid attention to the lyrics, one line in particular forced her to pull over: I could stand by the side. Watch this life pass me by. So unhappy. But safe as could be. In that moment, getting honest with herself and developing customized rules to ensure that she began living her best life in order to show her kids by example how to live theirs became non-negotiable. Do you ever feel like... - You need an extra hour in the day. Possibly four. - You fall into bed exhausted most nights yet unsure what you actually did all day (because it definitely wasn't any of the 367 things on your to-do list). - You miss yourself (even though you're with yourself all day long)! If so, this book was written just for you. You Cannot Be Serious: and 32 Other Rules That Sustain a (Mostly) Balanced Mom is a roadmap to shift your perspective and put you back in the driver's seat in order to bring consistent joy back into your amazing life. Reading YOU CANNOT BE SERIOUS will: —Untie your "nots" so that you can begin taking intentional steps toward the life of your dreams —Eliminate the two words that are unconsciously sabotaging your growth —Reframe your focus each time you begin comparing yourself to other moms who seem to "have it all" —Grant you permission to take care of yourself in a way that ensures you have full control over your own happiness at all times. Duration - 3h 58m. Author - Elizabeth Lyons. Narrator - Elizabeth Lyons. Published Date - Sunday, 22 January 2023.
