#muminoverwhelm

When I’m gone from this beautiful planet what is the legacy I want to leave behind? It’s funny. I didn’t even know I needed or wanted to leave a legacy. I just panicked that I didn’t want to leave my kids. It used to fuel my anxiety terribly. While I’ve done a lot of work, there is always more to do. Life is a bit like that ya know, While I could do a million piles of laundry (or sometimes it feels like it anyway) there is always more to do. The past couple of weeks almost had me back in the cycle of those bad habits. While yes I thought a lump was more than it was, this time instead of being frozen in fear I felt proactive about the legacy I want to leave behind. How do I want to be remembered. What do I want people to think about when they hear my name? Because it’s not the victim of life I want to be known for, I don’t want people to feel sorry that I drowned by #mumlife Or that I was so overwhelmed and burnt out. I want people to be inspired by what I achieved because of my struggles, I want my kids to know how much they are lived, how much Inspiration they gave me. I want family & friends to remember the fun adventures we had. So, do you choose victim or inspiration? The destination is your choice regardless of what is on our path to get there. Don’t sit in the overwhelm take action get clear on your goals and dreams. Have bloody fun and laughs along the way. #dontbeavictim #mumof4 #mumlife #muminoverwhelm #motherhood #mumoftwins #placentapercretasurvivor #adversityisagift #motherhoodjourney https://www.instagram.com/p/Cd7fwsksloF/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

*****🔥 Burnout 🔥 ***** What do you think burnout looks like? For me it was being frozen, too overwhelmed to even load the washer, it was not having the energy to fight, not having the energy to help my kids grow. Not taking care of mine and my children’s basic needs. We sometimes see memes and posts about mums having messy hair, running around overwhelmed sorting the kids, doing chores, working etc. At what point does the overwhelm turn into burnout though? Overwhelm is where we still have the energy to fight but we just don’t know how. Burn out the energy is gone. Overwhelm is where you know there is a way. Burnout is where you have lost all hope of a way out. I’ve been in the later. I’ve been the one who thought the only way out was to no longer be a mum! Imagine that. You waited 5 years, blood, sweat & endless amounts of tears were shed to get pregnant. Then reality hit, your a mum, the mum load creeps in, you have babies to care for, a home to run, and all the other things that press out time. And so all you can see is maybe you have made a terrible mistake, maybe those kids would be better in a different home. Sometimes I’ve felt selfish for saying this. Because I wanted to get back the life I had pre kids. But then when I hit burnout and finally got over the other side I could see those kids, those moments, the rock bottom had been sent to me, those shitey times had been given to me to learn. And. Learn I Did. I learnt how to love, how to be a good mum, how to stop getting overwhelmed with the overwhelm, how to let go of perfect, how to live better, for me and my family. Don’t let that overwhelm turn to burnout there is a way. There is a solution. #overwhelmedmum #muminoverwhelm #mumssupportingmums #mumlife #mumvillage #motherhood #motherhoodunplugged #motherhoodoverwhelm #parentsofinstagram #parentalburnout https://www.instagram.com/p/CT6btjVMiBv/?utm_medium=tumblr

Whatever you do just hang in there. Better times are on there way. Storms don’t last forever. That’s all it is. That moment you are in. Its not going to last forever. That stage of motherhood that feels like you are drowning. That rough patch of behaviour. That transition, that dip in mental health. That messy house that fills you with dread when you get home. Hang in there. I saw this on a card a while back took a photo to share with whoever needs it. Today I was drawn to posting it. So whoever you are that needed to hear this. It’s for you! Hang in there. #hanginthere #mumlife #mumsinoverwhelm #muminoverwhelm #muminchaos #mychaoticlife #overwhelmed #mumload #motherhoodunplugged #mumsofinstagram #mumssupportingmums #mumlifeuk #momentsofmine https://www.instagram.com/p/CTyu-tRsftI/?utm_medium=tumblr
