Who’s taking Care of Me?
Wow, what a week. Volunteering for the Film Festival, and the PTSA, and doing all of my work, and home stuff too. The question is who’s taking care of me? The answer is ME! So, if I’m not, guess what, no ones else is. I have had such a sense of overwhelm this week and when I finally realized that I can stop this crazy behavior anytime, it was such a relief.
One of the ways we take care of ourselves is to not over-book our schedule to the point of exhaustion. I have a lot of energy so what I tend to do is book myself solid. Some of the problems with this is I get tired, and I don’t allow time to relax and wind down. I really have to pay attention to how much I put on my plate and how much of it’s mine and how much is somebody else’s. This is just a gentle reminder to all of us out there that are on a treadmill running so fast that our legs are getting tripped up.
Slow down, and take a bath, have a cup of tea or just lay flat and do nothing. This is all I have to say, breathe, and relax and realize that all of the stuff you need to get done, doesn’t really need to be done today. So, have a great weekend, relaxing.
