HOW OFTEN DO YOU ASK YOURSELF THIS QUESTION?
SEEMS LIKE YOUR TASK LIST IS NEVER ENDING WHILE EVERYBODY WATCHES YOU OVERWORK?
IS THIS OKAY?
No it is not!
This piece is for those of you who are overworked and at times under appreciated!
Do not feel bad for needing a break!
You are a human being with limitations. I remember that feeling all to well. Go to work, work 9 hours come home be a mom, cook, clean, shower or fall asleep fully dressed because I was exhausted I felt terrible at times almost unloved. Can I get a thank you or a hand please?!!
The mistake we make often is that we cater and nurture by nature, say that fast 5 times lol!
We don't forget what we deserve but we stop expecting it! We help build our loved ones up so much that they forget we were there in the gym shooting that ball and fetching it for them!
We ignored limitation because they need us too but sometimes we want our damn feet rubbed with lotion, we want a no cooking day, we want breakfast and coffee in bed sometimes and if miracles do happen write me a letter saying thank you!
BREATHES IN AND OUT…..
Yes we wish at times we were super human so our families only need us and we can reciprocate our love through our daily to do list, but we needn't ignore our emotional necessity to be appreciated! It becomes very stressful and although we are motivated by pure love that love can also be draining! As mothers we adore our children but we would be lying if we didn't say that sometimes we want a full out break, phone off, off duty, on a deserted island, y'all get the picture!
Do not feel guilty about that at all! As a matter of fact, take a moment after reading this and plan your trip, leave the date open! Plan the entire trip, full out research, close your eyes and imagine yourself there! Set a goal, once my family is straight, once my duties are done……. No wait there I go putting everything before me.. Shame on me…
Back to scheduled programming..
Mommies don't worry, I'm not saying leave your kids. Im simply saying that it is normal and perfectly okay to need and take breaks. How good are we if we break down or wear out?
In a household everyone including children old enough to understand yes and no, good and bad, should have chores and responsibilities! Mommies explain to them how busy you are how much you love them and how much you need them! The team only functions if all members play there part!
Do not argue this fact with your spouse simply create a new method, explain your ideas and move forward! They say in a relationship you give 50/50 but I disagree! It should be 100/100 but usually it is more like 60/40. Real talk!
If you need help voice it! DO NOT FEEL GUILTY OR INSECURE FOR BEING HUMAN!
THERE IS NO I IN TEAM THEREFORE DO NOT TAKE ON THE FULL LOAD!
YOU ARE A STRONG AMAZING PERSON BUT SOMETIMES THE ARMOR MUST COME OFF FEET COME UP AND RELAXATION IS DESERVED! SO GO RELAX!
YOURS LITERALLY AND INTELLECTUALLY,
NHM
