The Morning Spill
Picture this: It’s 8 AM, and you’ve just poured yourself the perfect cup of tea (or coffee, if that’s your thing). You’re feeling optimistic, ready to conquer the day.
But before you’ve even taken a sip, your phone buzzes—a work email, a text about soccer practice, and a reminder about that subscription you’ve been meaning to cancel.
By 8:15, your tea is cold, your mind is spinning, and your optimism? Spilled all over the metaphorical floor.
Life is messy, no doubt about it. And for many of us—especially ambitious women with a lot on our plates—our T.E.A. (Time, Energy, and Attention) gets scattered across tasks, demands, and obligations.
But here’s the truth: you don’t have to keep spilling your tea.
What Is T.E.A.?
T.E.A. stands for your Time, Energy, and Attention—the most valuable resources you have. While we often think of power as something grand or external, it actually lives in the everyday choices you make about where you pour your T.E.A.
Every time you:
☕ Say yes to a meeting you didn’t need to attend, you’re giving your T.E.A. to obligation.
☕ Spend hours scrolling social media, you’re giving your T.E.A. to distraction.
☕ Overthink a decision, you’re giving your T.E.A. to doubt.
The good news? You can reclaim your T.E.A. starting today.
Why Your T.E.A. Feels Scattered
I work with incredible women who are masters at doing it all—but often at the cost of themselves. They feel:
- Pulled in a million directions: “There’s too much on my plate!”
- Trapped by ‘shoulds’: “I should work harder, be more available, achieve more.”
- Disconnected from their true desires: “I’ve been so focused on others—I don’t even know what I want anymore.”
Sound familiar?
The issue isn’t a lack of ambition or ability. The issue is this: their T.E.A. is being poured into everything except what truly matters to them.
You Are Always at Choice
The first step in reclaiming your power isn’t about overhauling your life or saying no to everything. It starts small: recognizing that you are always at choice.
Even when life feels overwhelming, you can decide where your T.E.A. goes.
For example:
💡 Time: Can you carve out 15 minutes today to reflect on what truly matters to you?
💡 Energy: What’s one thing draining your energy that you can delegate or let go of?
💡 Attention: What are you focusing on that doesn’t align with your values?
These small, intentional choices can create profound shifts.
Your Innate Genius and T.E.A.
Here’s the truth: You already have the wisdom and gifts you need to create a life you love. Inside you is your innate genius—a unique blend of talents, experiences, and intuition.
The challenge isn’t that you’re missing something. It’s that your T.E.A. has been directed toward the noise instead of your genius.
Reclaiming your power begins with small, consistent choices to honor what’s already inside you:
- Say yes to what excites you.
- Say no to what drains you.
- Ask, “Does this align with what I value most?”
A Fun Exercise: What’s in Your Cup?
Let’s get practical! Here’s a simple exercise to reflect on your T.E.A.
- Think about the past week. Where did most of your T.E.A. go?
- Write down the top 3 things that consumed your Time, Energy, and Attention.
- Ask yourself: Did these things fuel you, drain you, or distract you?
- Decide on one intentional shift for the week ahead.
Examples:
- If your T.E.A. went to overcommitting at work, say no to one task this week.
- If your T.E.A. went to mindless scrolling, set a 10-minute timer for social media.
Each small shift adds up—and they’re the foundation of living boldly and authentically.
