Not thriving… just surviving right now.
The past few months have been a lot. I have not posted here for a long time, but I have not disappeared. In fact, I'm learning that I have felt so overwhelmed with life, that Ive been quite stuck. Not staying connected to what's important to me.
Being unwell, Freya being unwell, me unwell again, starting a new part-time job, mothering, and now supporting my Mum through a sudden health issue.
As a solo Mum, the responsibility never switches off. Lately, I've been feeling more tired and depleted than I ever have.
But I keep reminding myself - this is a phase. It will pass.
Right now, I’m trying to find small moments for myself - even taking the time to do this post. Just ten minutes in the morning to sit, breathe, and feel the sun on my face. It helps.
I’m also learning that asking for help can make all the difference. It’s hard, but it’s necessary.
If you’re in a “just surviving” phase too, you’re not alone ❤️.
