There seems to be an epidemic of overwhelm and exhaustion among many women today.
Can you relate?
I think it’s about overdoing – for ourselves and our loved ones. While in the whirlwind of overdoing, it’s easy to lose touch with yourself and what matters most in our lives. It’s far from grounded and joyful. Eventually, we’ll get sick or something will stop us in our tracks.
Overdoing stems from thoughts like: “No one else can do this” or “I can’t ask for help.” Or, “I can’t say No”. Or, it’s about wanting to feel needed or important. Whatever your reason, it happens when you hand over the reigns to your masculine side and let it run rampant and neglect your intuitive, nurturing feminine side.
Most of you know, I have a new puppy that’s 12 weeks old, Pie. She’s adorable AND a hand full!
For the past month, I’ve been sleep deprived, stressed, and been on overdrive. I don’t know about you, the more stress I have, the more I do. Ten days ago, my body broke down. I hurt my lower back and the pain I’ve felt has been debilitating – beyond crazy. All you mothers: I have even more understanding and compassion for all that you do!
I realized this: Sometimes You Have to Break Down to #BreakFree.
We’ve Got to Take Care of Ourselves the Same Way We Take Care of Others.
We’ve Got to Understand Our Limits and Know Our Boundaries.
We’ve Got to Learn to Ask for Help.
We’ve Got to Nurture Ourselves from the Inside Out.
Make sure the choices you make – every single day – what you eat and drink, what you do, the music you listen to, your thoughts, what you read, who you spend your time with – Nurtures YOU.
