BURNT, to the core. 😰

Have you ever mom'd so hard, you felt like you couldn't mom anymore?

Been there, done that... and it's not a good feeling AT ALL.

Control..... one thing that moms have a hard time letting go of. Its a constant struggle that I am striving to get better at every single day.

The first step is acceptance, the second step is attempting and the third is taking action.

Here are my top recommendations to avoid "mom burnout":

*Take breaks

*Communicate your needs to your spouse *Join a group of mom friends, communicate with them weekly

*Step away from anything that triggers you

*Take deep breaths (hold in for 10 seconds) blow out for 10 seconds *Join a support group

*Some days, you jut have to say f*** the chores, they will get done when they get done

*Lean on your spouse, delegate tasks that you can' do, you are a team *It takes a village, communicate your needs to them as well so they can tap into your current load and assist.

Stop trying to do everything, especially when you can seek help. As hard as it is to ask for help, its ok to... if not, we as moms can spiral out of control and end up in the deep dark place of depression.

You owe it to yourself and kids to be the mom that they want and most importantly need.
