I often wonder if I take on too much at any one time. I go through phases in which I am so motivated, and come up with many ideas (or find them online) of ways to change - to change my unhealthy habits to healthy ones, to improve the many different home routines, to find more ME time or whatever the issue that's at the forefront of my mind at a particular time. And then when I can't keep up with it all, I feel like I have failed.
I need to slow down. I mean, I have only been working full time for a month, and given that Hubland is on the final leg of his thesis (the current due date being about 6 weeks away), the last thing I want is for him to have to pick me up after a crash that I have caused. There are some things that need to continue. I am not giving up on my health and fitness journey - it is much too important, and I have already come so far (4kg's down in the last 4 weeks - woohoo!!!). Obviously, the housework still needs to be attended to - not that I'm expecting perfection. In fact, I feel as though I have been relying on Hubland to do more than he should be around the house, and I'm sorry for that. I also don't want to give up on this blog - I love writing it, and I really do feel like it is beneficial to me (even if I only get one or two posts up each month).
Aside from these things though, I need to take a step back. As much as I love taking on new challenges, I am finding it too difficult to keep up with them all, and it is starting to take its toll. The feeling of failure is beginning to appear, and that is the last thing I want nor need to stay a healthy and happy Mummy.
What do you do to ensure you are the healthiest and happiest Mummy for your family?
Take care,
