As a mum and supporting families and children on the autism spectrum like my own I know first-hand the challenges of carrying the extra load associated with caring for children with additional needs. The extra mental load can start to take a toll on your confidence, self-esteem and health.
I now understand the importance of rest and making sure my cup is full to be able to continue to hold space for my family.
But it wasn’t always this way…
I was addicted to busyness and the adrenaline from ticking off my to-do list.
Maybe you can relate??
I validated my worthiness from how busy I was.
I still get stuck in busyness at times but it’s usually, to move through emotions like sadness or anger faster.
Being a wellness & organisational coach, Yin & Nidra instructor with a Physical Education teacher background of over twenty years I know the importance of staying healthy both mentally and physically. But I still need to remind myself daily of how being BUSY impacts my health.
