Are you struggling to find joy and patience? Then beating yourself up over it?
What if you weren’t at fault? What if it’s because you just have too many things to do and you can’t keep up?
Maybe there are just too many things to do in one day, maybe stop giving yourself a hard time and think about one thing that you might be able to let go of.
For me that one thing was the kids bedrooms - I no longer spend any time worrying about their untidy rooms, I just shut the door on them. If they want to live in mess let them (as Mel Robbins would say) and that took a load off my mind. But a lot of people don’t take the time to think about what they could let go of, they just keep pushing through and then feel guilt and shame over not being able to keep up.
So how about today, take a breather, let go of one thing and try not to be so hard on yourself.
