Do you resonate with any of these?
All of these?
All of these at sometime all at once?
As women and mothers, we were so many different hats… 🧢 👒
We are women we are individuals , wives, partners, mothers employed, self-employed, full-time mother, grocery shopper, cleaner, landscaper, lawnmower, renovator, teacher, educator,
Peacekeeper, Homemaker …
We are the catalyst for all that goes on in and around our world and the people in it
We have the ability to shift, alter and change moods, behaviors, attitudes, reactions and responses for the positive
But it all starts with us
Being the glue that holds everything together
we quite often stuff everything down and continue on and push on..
We have the ability to be able to multitask and push through difficult situations and get to the other side
But it’s not always unscathed ..
It’s time to turn this around and start putting ourselves first, it’s undertanding that is is selfless, not selfish
It’s a gift to ourselves and everybody around us
Taking some time out for ourselves to stop download, decompress, de-stress
And it can be a simple piece of time
Like taking five minutes to have an enjoy a cup of tea in peace by yourself, staring at space, clearing your head
Then it can be bigger things like taking some time out to go for a walk, to move your body
To perhaps meet with friends and be social and have that time
To have quality time with your partner without your children
To have quality time with your children individually
To know that it’s OK that the washing didn’t get folded andput away
and it’s ok that we’re getting dressed from the spare room, from a pile of clothes
That’s OK because you got to spend quality time with the people that you love which is far more important than rushing around getting the jobs done
And missing out on the very things that matter the most to us..
The consequence is stuffing our emotions down inside ourselves, and building ourselves up into the state of overwhelm, and tearing ourselves apart with resentment and regret and bitterness.. and just sheer exhaustion.
As part of being a strength trainer, and Womens Health and performance coach
I like to teach you and give you the tools to set yourself up to find these areas in your life and carve out time for you
To put a priority on quality time with the people who mean the most to you , to build connection, build love, build relationships , to be able to support the people around you to be their best selves too,
without it becoming a drain and a resentment
It should be a gift to give back
We need to carve out the time to have the time and energy to be able to provide all of these things because we are fulfilled.
It takes a little bit of education to make this happen and shift the balance
And most importantly, building love and relationships and connection with yourself
That you’re happy, connected, supported, love, nurtured, cherished, and everything that you deserve to be and more first and foremost..
ONLY THEN do you have the ability to lift, carry, support and nurture everyone else!
