Have you ever thought you were bad with interior design, you couldn’t paint or imagine a new colour on your walls? You know exactly how you want a room to look and feel but you can’t quite achieve it on your own, despite all the interior magazines you’ve poured over for months. You feel unable to make that important decision or worse still get the same agreement from your partner. It’s Eggzhauusting!!
If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone. The time you spend on this indecision and looking at another option is all-consuming and wastes another hour or w/e, one that could have been spending more time playing with the children or relaxing and admiring your beautiful new ‘room’.
When the thought stays in the back of your mind, you’re left wishing and hoping. You continue your day and push the usual thoughts to the back of your mind, it’s hard to stay calm as your child screams out the words, ‘Mummy’ for the umpteenth time today.
The push and pull of parenting and the desire to be YOU is often at odds. One usually gives way to the other, unfortunately, as a mum, you tend to be fourth or fifth on the list. When you are not focusing on yourself, is it any wonder why you feel life is slipping away and energy is being leached out of you?
It’s not your fault, you’re only human after all. You know that you can’t be jack of all trades and do it all well. You can be a happy mummy /mom if you give yourself some slack.
Take some time for you today, give yourself a break and if you find that hard, consider why you’re being so hard on yourself?
