I was determined to have it all
That was just not good enough for me. Even though my life looked great from the outside, I wanted more and I was sick of running around all day, cleaning up after the kids, making dinner and, if I’m lucky, not passing out right after finally getting the kids to bed.
Then something started to shift. The more I focused on having peace in the home, creating schedules and routines, the happier and freer I felt. The more I let go of things, the lighter I felt. The more I worked to be intentional about what was in my space the more I enjoyed my family.
After feeling more aligned with my home I started working on my relationships and habits. I saw firsthand what a difference being ahead of the to-do list looked like. I started to work with my partner and kids and I stopped feeling that I had to hold all the cards by myself. Whatever my excuse was before, slowly, over time, I started to mentally and physically surround myself with things I loved and habits I wanted.
That’s when I felt that I was able to start focusing on myself, my dreams and my aspirations. I wasn’t burnt out any more and I wasn’t feeling “lost.” Most of all, I started to feel like myself again and that’s more than I can say for a lot of people in this world. I now get to choose how I create my life and you can bet that I’m creating it the way I want it to be.
