Modern life drains you.
The relentless nature of it. One crisis after another. Nonstop stress. No time to rest until you crash at night in front of a streaming service just to zone out for a while before you have to do it all again.
You’ve got to envy kids. As hard as it is growing up, they don’t have to pay rent or buy groceries or worry about their aging parents.
But instead of applauding you for keeping everything afloat, the world just says:
“Why aren’t you exercising? Why are you eating that? Why do you look like that? Take better care of yourself!”
Uh… you WOULD, if you had time?
Here’s the truth:
You look great when you FEEL great.
And it’s darned hard to feel “great” when you’re stressed, exhausted, and burning the candle at both ends.
It’s not our personal choices that are making us struggle to stay healthy. It’s our lives.
So you know what the single best investment you can make in your health is?
Get support.
Don’t do it all on your own.
Tell your girlfriends what you’re struggling with and see if there’s a way you could pool your resources.
Tell your family what you’re struggling with and how it’s affecting your ability to show up for them. See if there’s a way they could support you in being “happy, fun Mum” rather than “exhausted, stressed-out Mum.”
Tell your partner you’re struggling and you want to show up for him and feel closer to him, but you’re too frazzled to be the kind of girlfriend/wife you want to be for him.
When you have the support you need, you worry less. Problems seem smaller. You can trust that everything will turn out okay in the end.
Life isn’t something to do on your own. It’s something you do best with support.
And when you finally have time to breathe…
When you have time to go for a walk or a jog or a class without worrying about what’s happening at home…
When you have a free hour after work to think about dinner and let the stress melt away before cooking…
You begin to feel different.
Stronger. Healthier. More centered. Less snappy. More rested.
You’ll feel like you can show up as the person you want to be, rather than just trying to survive each day.
If you feel like you’re on your own in your relationship…
Or if you feel like you have no idea what to do…
Then don’t go at it alone. Get support.
I’m here to offer that support to you if you need it.
