Today, I want to talk to you about my story.
Have you ever felt stuck in the muck and the yuck of life? So overwhelmed! Head in the clouds and stuck in a daze.
That’s how I felt when my kids are younger.
I really love my kids. They are wonderful human beings. The problem wasn’t them… it was me.
I was putting that daze on myself, and I didn’t realize it. I didn’t even know it was possible. I thought it was all the external influences in my life that was causing that overwhelm.
But it wasn’t. It was me.
I got to a point where I lost it. I believe it was a mental breakdown. I was screaming, yelling, and even cussing at my kids all because I couldn’t deal with, what I thought at the time, was coming at me.
What it actually was, was my own dissatisfaction with my life.I felt a lack of purpose, a lack of meaning. I was serving everybody else BUT ME! I wasn’t valuing myself.
Because I was not valuing me, no one else around me was valuing me. You have to realize your value as a mom. As a woman. Walk in your value.
What makes you feel valued? What makes you feel like you have a purpose?
I did not realize that what I had been given was such a huge gift. To be able to stay home with my kids and to homeschool them, and love on them day in and day out was a huge blessing.
Because I didn’t value myself, I didn’t value the time I was giving to other people. You are so valued. You are so important to every person around you. If you were not here, there would be a hole. The world needs you! It needs your gifting and talents.
They ARE THERE!
I remember when I felt like I didn’t have any gifts. All I was good for was laundry and dishes. Even doing those tasks requires skills. Valuable skills. Your children need them. Your family needs you to do them. Do them to your best and then find what actually fills you up.
What lights you? What brings you joy? You don’t want to be where I was. Screaming, cussing, ranting at your kids.
They didn’t deserve that. It was not their fault. It was mine. I needed to make a change.
Do yourself a favour and watch this video. I’m going to talk about a few ways I learned to get out of that funk. Things you can easily do to get you back on track. I WISH I had learned about them sooner!
What I want for you is balance and joy! I want to help you fix it!
