Here’s my story.
Hi Ladies!
I have been where you are, in fact I lived there for the first part of my adult life. I was overwhelmed, anxious and distracted.
After marrying the man of my dreams and having two beautiful children, I found myself lonely, depressed, unhealthy and overwhelmed. My life was lived in pure exhaustion. I was working to meet the demands of marriage, parenting, finances and homemaking. I heard voices from the internet, my inner circle and my own head on all the "shoulds" I should be doing. I had very unrealistic expectations ravaging my mind, body & soul.
“I can’t do this anymore”…
One night, I found myself on the living room floor telling my husband I couldn't do "this" anymore. “This” meant all of it. I was depressed, anxious and could not see a way out or a way forward. I just wanted to flee all the frustrating parts of life. I wanted to live happier, feel better and have more energy.
I quickly learned the kids and my husband were not the problem.
I had let opinions, isolation and flat out lies clutter my mind. I felt hopeless. I had allowed the confusion of outside expectations to rule my life. After that famed night on the living room floor, I started charting a new course for my life. I knew if I wanted to feel joy, I needed to do something different. I needed a new way of living - healthier and happier.
It was time to clean up my mind, body & soul.
We only have control over ourselves. So, I decided to start learning what God said about me, what He wanted for my life, not what everyone else said or expected. I started saying "no". I started creating boundaries in my chaotic life. I started paying attention to what I was putting in my body and mind. I started to #cutthecrap from my mind, body and soul. One step at a time, I learned how to change my life.
