With the character of Wonder Woman making a comeback in a major motion picture, today's women often recall their childhood fascination with the role.
The beautiful Diana Prince was an independent, magical woman with layers.
She had it all: exciting career, home, glamorous clothes, and a secret identity.
What's not to love? At the beginning of the second decade of the 21st century, women are moving into position as top earners, and, like Wonder Woman, still want to have and do it all.
As a result, many women are working themselves into a state of exhaustion and overwhelm termed "Superwoman Syndrome.
" Ironically, the desire to do all and be all creates a situation in which the modern day Cinderella daily defers her own dreams in order to continue to serve others.
Only today, there's no Prince Charming to save the day and no ending in sight.
The road that lies ahead is fraught with problems permeating women's health, relationships, earnings, and more.
That is, unless today's Wonder Woman chooses to write her own happily ever after.
Here are five things women can do to shift their life dynamic starting now.

Place attention on whatever you wish to grow.
Law of Attraction experts know one's focus multiplies outcomes exponentially.

Conversely, if attention is firmly placed on manifestation or abundance and cleaning up our energetic relationships around money, it becomes easier to attract more of the same.
