Are you tired of all the mental baggage you carry every day?

This weighs us down and makes life a big drag.

YOU, WE deserve better!

I’m going to give you some tips that have been game-changers. Read more here.

You might be wondering why being prepared to embrace something newer or better in a willing and enthusiastic way is important.

Well, as you might remember from biology class, as humans, we are in a life cycle which takes us through a series of changes (not all better since puberty and menopause will happen as part of those changes).

Preparation gets you through to the other side!

I guess your holidays were much calmer than the ones I had growing up!

You had to know where you could or couldn’t sit (the kid table or the grown-up table).

When crazy cousin Cheryl starts dancing with music, you needed to decide if you gotta get out of there quick or if you put up with it because you feel like you can’t leave?

How do you decide your boundaries?

How many times are you frustrated and just go buy something new rather than search through the crowded, junky spaces for it?

Guilty here!

So, clean your small spaces and make them more useful. This non-clutter makes it easier for you to find what you need and your stress level will be lots lower when you open the closet and nothing falls out.

I’m not sure if it’s just the point in my life right now or if it was 2020...but either way, I’ve been fighting burnout for a bit.

What about you? Are you sitting there in your PJs for the third day in a row, wishing you bought two gallons of milk for all the cereal you have been eating? I mean, cereal is the breakfast of champs, so why not have it for all three meals?

If this sounds familiar, then you are probably experiencing some burnout or overwhelm.

When you stuff your feelings, it’s like waiting for an explosion until you finally reach the amount you can stuff. I visualize it as an older suitcase that you put in all things you had. Then you get more stuff to shove it...it barely closes then but before you know it you are opening it to shove something else in and finally it won’t shut. So you put the suitcase on the floor, hop up and down on it trying to get the clasp to reach and finally….

Women tend to put others and their happiness ahead of their own. This has been taught to us as children by our parents, who were taught that by their parents, and their parents’ parents. Just because that is how it has been done in the past does not mean we have to perpetuate the cycle of self-abuse.

So how do we break the cycle and start loving ourselves in the way that we will reap the benefits?

What is self-judgment? This is when you have thoughts about yourself or your actions that cause emotions that negatively affect you. Typically you will start feeling anxious, depressed, or even get angry at yourself for thinking or doing something. Many times negative self-talk accompanies these thoughts as they are like two peas in a pod.

We have SOOOO many distractions today and so many commitments that we take on as we feel obligated to in order to achieve success. Living this way creates a constant state of excitement that doesn’t allow for downtime without guilt. Staying busy all the time creates mental burnout.
