My not so good day.
So yesterday I was having a reasonably good day but I found I was struggling for some reason. It was so quick the thoughts of negativity that filled my head that it was a fight to reclaim them.
It makes me think about how I need to constantly be checking my perspective. Even when my day has started off well. I realise for me the struggle has come with the multiple different roles I play and transitioning between each which can be within seconds at any given time…….one moment I’m a Mum the next I’m a business person, the next I’m a wife but the biggest challenge isn’t doing each of those things it is doing it simultaneously and keeping the right headspace and be present in the moment with what is going on!!
My kids certainly know when I’m not fully present. I’d love other people’s input on suggestions. Writing my blog was supposed to be my outlet but I’m struggling to get the time/ make time. AGGH!!!
I wish there were some magic formula to be able to deal with it all. I know it just takes intentionality and I need to just suck it up and get on with it but I have to confess it’s overwhelming.

So true baby. You do an amazing job and we love how you serve us so selflessly. Maybe it’s our time to help make that time for you. 😍

Found you! so glad you’ve done this. It’s the right thing but getting the time is the killer. Grace for the day has been a whisper for me. But also timing. You”ll get it – just maybe not yet. Or you wait for those golden moments when the words are in your heart and you just have to let them out. You’re amazing xx

I have no words of wisdom on the topic. I am totally relating to you though.
I recently read a terrible article by some doctors proving that ‘Multi tasking’ does not exist and we just do more things poorly. Unfortunately as I read that article I knew that I had always known that to be true but listened too much to the world telling me I can be all things to all people because I am WOMAN.
I know I’m strong and capable but I also know that by trying to do everything at the same time. I am the one missing out.
I am starting to simplify things into categories of what needs to be done, wants to happen and will never happen.
My family deserves me to turn up fully,
My husband deserves me fully,
My business and friends deserve me fully and then I deserve to connect with myself and have alone time!
All of this means that they have to take turns. Here’s to working on a better default diary and knowing it’s ok to cancel and re arrange things. Xxx
