Yesterday around 4:30pm my legs started to ache. I knew I was about to go down HARD.
After my incredibly long shower, I found myself crawling into bed by 6pm.
Today I woke pretty good. BUT I can tell I needed to rest. To not force myself to keep going because…
“I need your help, but I won’t let you help me, because I should be able to do it all” 🤭
So, when hubby said he’d drop tiny human off to school and pick him up and also take him to his dentist appointment this arvo, I LET MYSELF RECEIVE THIS.
I let hubby be a parent and do something I’ve felt was my sole responsibility for 6.5 years 😅
⬆️ this is a very welcome shift I’ve been experiencing lately.
My pattern in life has been to push support away. That life needs to be hard.
This pattern has caused Glandular fever in my early 20’s, adrenal fatigue in my mid 20’s and high then low thyroid postpartum (in my early 30’s).
Exhausted. Burn out. Forced rest.
So, even though I feel waaaaaaay better than last night I’m showing myself I can truly rest. Clearly I’m working through something that requires me to slow down and show myself some compassion.
So here we are 🥰 Gene keys, a new book, Off Campus and lots of fluids.
I’ll see you on the other side ✌🏽

Ps - to my fellow over-achiever, people-pleaser who puts lots of pressure on themselves: let this be evidence that can change the pattern 🌱
