I think this is a struggle for all women, those who work outside and
inside the home. I know my life is out of balance. There are several of times I take on too
many things and cause more stress in my life than happiness. I need to learn to say NO..I feel
like someone will be mad or I am not doing my best if I say no. Or people will judge me and I need to let go of what people think of me and be happy for me and not others... I want to be aware of
my limitations...what can I really handle in my schedule and not be
overwhelmed? I have also been dealing with Thyroid issues and I think if I learn to balance my life this will really help because a big deal is stress really causes it to be all crazy.. I need to take care of my self so I can be the best Mommy to Lily Jane!!!
These are musts:
1. An un-rushed daily time of prayer and study with my heavenly father.
2. Real, you have all my attention time with my family.
3. Exercise EVERY day. Very hard with a 1 year old.. BUT i am going to find time!!!
Restoring balance. Spiritual growth, family time, health, and career. A commitment I have to make...
I battled with hyperthyroidism for a few years, it seems to have normalized now but it was a difficult time.
ReplyDeleteTaking care of ourselves as mothers really does take a back seat. Here's to putting our health as a priority in 2015!
I am so sorry you had to go through that I am glad that it is normalized now.. It is very hard to deal with and try to be a wife and a mommy. I am working on this year to put my health first!! Thanks for sharing
ReplyDeleteGood for you - exercising every day! Try not to beat yourself up if you cannot find the time, but I think that it's an AWESOME goal!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you!! I know that at times I wont get to do it everyday but I am going to try for a little walk at least :)
Deletegreat goals!! i want to continue working out too! xo jillian - stop by! I'm hosting a giveaway on cornflake dreams
ReplyDeleteI can totally relate to your post. One of my biggest challenges is saying no to others. My plate is always over flowing with too many things. And then when I take something off it seems like there is always someone/something waiting to be added. I take comfort in knowing that I'm not the only one out there that experiences the challenge of finding balance. Thanks for sharing this :)
