Let’s get back to slowing down.

How many things do you hold in your head in a day?

How many things do you try to juggle ALL at once?

How many times do you get distracted in a day?

I get it- it’s countless, and I’m not here to give you a quick tip to make it all disappear.

I am here to tell you, what would it look like if you slowed down?

And I mean reallllly slowed down? What would it look like to be bored? What I have found is that most women tell me that they are SO BUSY and SO TIRED. When we discuss ways to slow down, they become less stressed and less anxious. However, then they try to tell me everything they SHOULD be doing in their downtime. Why do we do this? Why do we try to push ourselves and never allow ourselves to have space?

We always believe (consciously or subconsciously) that as moms, we must be BUSY ALL THE TIME. I don’t know about you, but when I was single and working, I had NO problem relaxing on the couch after work, while now it seems like a different universe if I did that.

But what truly changed? I DID. That’s the point. We change as our circumstances change, and that means we can ALSO change now towards giving ourselves some grace and boredom. That doesn’t mean you just skip town and go to a hotel room for the weekend, either. All it means is…

1-      Be conscious of what’s actually happening in your day.

2-      Pick one simple habit you want to do MORE of to relax.

3-      Pick a routine that this habit can easily fit into without having to rewire your whole day.

4-      Don’t overthink it. Don’t contemplate if this is “worth it.” YES, it’s worth it!

5-      Reward yourself for doing it. Reward yourself for doing it every month.

Simple small steps are all we need at any point in our lives. So no matter where you are right now, chances are- you can use a little more relaxation in your week.

If you aren’t sure exactly where to start, drop me a message, I’d love to be in your corner cheering you on.
