OH HEY! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What do you do to recharge? As a creative, entrepreneur, nonstop moving mama/wife/human... sometimes I feel burnt out. I’ll admit, I am terrible at saying NO. Until I get to the point where I feel like cracking and then I say NO to EVERYONE AND EVERYTHING! It’s unhealthy. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Over the years, I’ve learned that this wandering heart needs adventures with like minded creative souls (read: not my family). Sometimes they are far away in magical lands, other times they are a bus ride away for a few hours of walking way too much in the big apple. No matter which type, I feel renewed and refreshed after. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So what is your favorite way to reset your mind and restore your mental health? Adventures with friends? Solitary confinement 🤣? Let me know! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Yes, I’m obsessed with this little bottle of magic oil. Sorry, not sorry! I’m going to shout it from the rooftops that it’s on sale until TONIGHT ONLY because everyone needs it, haha. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A perfect blend of essential oils and zero crap (silicones, parabens and other toxic junk that is in most oils), so it soaks right in to hair and skin and does it’s job! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

It’s 90% off until midnight. Don’t be like Cinderella and wait too long, lol. Also, don’t wait past about 10pm if you need my help. Because this gal turns into a sleepy pumpkin waaaaay sooner than midnight. Old lady problems. 👵🏻

Let’s talk chores. I posted some stories earlier of my kids doing chores. Saturday mornings (after cartoons and breakfast) is chore time. For the whole family. Adults included. We’ve been doing family chores since they were little. We also do age appropriate tasks. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I love chores for kids! They teach life skills, respect for the home, and a good work ethic! And when parents and kids do chores side by side, it becomes a family activity and the parents model the behaviors they want the kids to learn! Plus, a clean, organized home just FEELS BETTER! Even my kids agree (although in true kid fashion, they still grumble about chores). ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So tell me, are you pro-chores? What things do you have your littles do around the house? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Today is world mental health day. And up until a few years ago, a day like today wouldn’t have even registered on my radar. Sure I had stresses, but I did what everybody was supposed to do... pretend it didn’t get to me, smile, and work it out like a big girl. I was a strong, confident, and capable woman. Things like anxiety, depression, and self-doubt were taboo words and signs of weakness. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Well no longer. I AM a strong woman. I AM a confident woman. I AM a capable woman. But I’ve also have moments of anxiety. I have days of depression. And I doubt myself too many times to even count. Does this make me less of a person? Heck no. what I’ve come to realize, is that we all go through this.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Everyone has days, months, even years, where they struggle with mental health. Where the demons seem to be winning and battles seem endless. But when we face our truths, we become stronger. We become more confident. We become more capable because we recognize, acknowledge, and persevere. And most importantly we realize we’re not alone.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Entrepreneurs and Creatives tend to succumb to these issues more readily. Why? Because we are naturally in a lonely business. It’s important to surround yourself with people who lift you up, support you, and are there for you. And it’s equally as important to do the same for others. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
One of my life’s motto’s is... helping others helps yourself. I strongly believe that we were meant to go through life helping each other, loving each other, and lifting each other up whenever needed.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So today, recognize that we’re all in this together. Love a little more, judge a little less, and choose happy.
