Imagine going out to your garden and all the weeds have taken over and are strangling your beautiful flowers...all you see are weeds, the flowers are hiddenโฆ
This hasnโt happened over night; itโs happened over months and maybe years of neglect.
And when you look more closely, what flowers you do see are wilting, the colours are faded, the leaves brown and dry, being eaten away by small animalsโฆ
And thatโs your lifeโฆ
Suddenly you wake up one morning feeling youโre on this never-ending hamster wheel of life.You realise how complicated and busy your life is.
What is the purpose?
You keep going for those who need you. But you feel:
ย Exhausted
ย Unhappy
ย Overwhelmed
ย Unfulfilled
And life seems to be passing you by...
The first thing you do is drop the things that you enjoy doing, that benefit you emotionally and health wise, hoping thisโll make things better. You basically ๐๐ข๐กย ๐ฆ๐๐ข๐๐ ๐๐๐ย ๐๐ย ๐กโ๐ย ๐๐๐๐๐๐ข๐๐๐๐, until things settle down.
But things never settle down, they just get more and more complicated. And now youโre feelingโฆ
ย Resentful
ย Impatient, snapping at loved ones
ย Youโre suffering with tiredness, headaches and gut issues.
ย You may start to have the odd drink
ย You start to feel as if youโre losing control.
You know this canโt go on, that things need to change, but you have no idea where to start, you havenโt got the energy or the time, and it all seems so difficultโฆ.
Why? Becauseโฆ
ย You feel guilty putting time aside for self-care or for yourself.
ย You canโt see the weeds from the flowers.
And yet, you know things canโt continue like this, because life is passing you by, and you donโt want to look back with regret.
Self-care is not a luxury, it's a necessity
By doing the weedingโฆ.
ย You do the things that are important to you.
ย You have more time, feel more fulfilled and feel happier and more energised.
ย You spend quality time with those who need you.
