Really? Can we find balance? It's not like our cheque book and sometimes these days that isn't balanced either. I have found that when I have too many things on the go and juggling too much I feel overwhelmed.
I feel cranky, out of sorts and not in a good mood. The reason because I used to cram as much as I could in
one day and be completely exhausted at the end. Why? I was putting too much pressure on myself to be the
"do it all!" Who was I trying to please? ME! That's right me. I wanted to hear from others how great of a mom I was, a cook, kept a clean home, a good wife. That was myself esteem wanting to hear that....and over time I did not need to hear it to know that I did well in all of those things without hearing the praise. My life was out of control and screaming for balance. I wanted to feel more in control of my life and what I needed and didn't. My needs had to change and also my perspectives because if I didn't I was on the brink of become sick. And yes I did it I have changed but it has taken time & I still need to watch myself falling in old patterns. I needed to learn "What is important?"" What can wait til' tomorrow?" Go to bed early.
I don't feel guilty for taking the time to take care of me and what my needs are. Can we find balance?
YES we can but you must be willing to make changes....take it from me you must. Take care of YOU!
