Ever feel like this? You’re so busy holding everything together that you forget about yourself…
I’m feeling this one today too!
Being a single mum, juggling the children’s activities, secondary school open days, making decisions, organising everything, running a business and carrying the emotional and physical load of everyday life has caught up with me.
It’s not necessarily one big thing. It’s the constant thinking, planning, doing, worrying, remembering and making sure everyone else is okay.
And sometimes, even when you’re used to just getting on with it, your body and mind eventually say enough.
Today I’m feeling completely knocked out. Exhausted, overwhelmed and been in need of some proper downtime.
When we’re stressed out and constantly in go-mode, it’s easy to lose sight of how much we’re carrying. We can struggle to switch off, find ourselves feeling stressed out then forget to give ourselves the time and space we need for self-regulation and resetting.
It’s then recognising what we’re experiencing physically to be able to find ways to support ourselves when life feels too much.
Sometimes that might be quiet, a little breathing space, prayer time, a walk, a cuppa or simply giving yourself permission to do absolutely nothing for a while like I have today
Sometimes we need a little help to pause and feel supported.
This is one of the reasons I care so much about Reflex Wellness. Creating a space where you can feel comfortable, take time out, relax and have a little breathing room from the demands of everyday life. I do wish sometimes I had a reflexologist and masseur in my pocket for times like this 😉
Because supporting the whole you includes the days when you’re not feeling your best, too.
And if you’re feeling a bit like me today, I hope you can give yourself a little grace. 💚
