Let’s be honest: nobody sleeps perfectly every single night. I’ll admit I have my off nights too! Thankfully, most of the time I sleep great (perks of knowing the tricks of the trade!).
But a couple of years ago? I was dragging myself through every single day. Exhausted didn’t even begin to cover it. I was ready to book a GP appointment until it hit me: I never actually let myself rest. I was always on the go.
I felt this constant pressure to be productive. As a single mum co-parenting two neurodiverse girls riding the hormone wave (while I’m riding my own wave at the other end of the spectrum! 🤦🏼♀️), running my business solo, and managing the house alone... I was doing too much. Long workdays when the girls were with their dad, working late evenings when they were with me, and weekends spent in a flurry of “to-do list ticking.”
I was shattered. I wasn’t being fair to myself or my kids. It felt like I was trying to prove a point... but to who?
So, I changed the rules. No more evening work when the girls are home. I block out daily time for walks or exercise. And that perpetual to-do list? I don’t beat myself up if I only cross off one or two things a week.
These days, Easy Sleep HQ is all about boundaries and priorities. I might be a super human, but I am not Superhuman. I need to rest to be my best.
If you’re currently stuck in that exhaustion cycle, I see you.
Can you relate to this? What’s one boundary you need to put in place for your own rest this week? Let me know in the comments.
