If your home just turned into a full-time office for two, a school for reluctant and messy kids who miss their friends, and a live-in chef and cleaner wasn’t part of the deal, then something has to give, no?<\/p>\n
And what if you were struggling with anxiety or fighting off depression before this? Even if you weren\u2019t, this is a big deal and you deserve to create some space to process your emotions around it. Just a break.<\/p>\n
Here\u2019s how to truly let go and find some peace during a time of \u201csurvival only.\u201d<\/p>\n
Within each of us, we have a bunch of rules in our heads about how we would prefer to live and what daily success means, our partner has another version, our parents had theirs, and society has a bunch of \u201cshoulds\u201d sprinkled on top just for fun.<\/p>\n
Here\u2019s the thing though my Love, this is your life. You can do whatever you want. For real.<\/p>\n
We all experience \u201csurvival only\u201d times of our lives, and this is for sure one of them.<\/p>\n
You know you are in one when your heart hurts, your brain is melting and you want to crawl under the covers for a while or move dimensions.<\/p>\n
This too shall pass, and when it does you can ramp up again and live your best life according to that circumstance.<\/p>\n
For now though, be kind to yourself and cross some things off that to-do list, and have fun doing it \u2013 no guilt!<\/p>\n
There are no rules here, this is a truly personal thing.<\/p>\n
For the next week I will:<\/p>\n
Tips:<\/p>\n
So consider giving yourself a break AND allow yourself to feel good about it. Getting intentional relieves guilt.<\/p>\n
You are divinely supported and loved. You are enough regardless of how you handle this challenging time, so what do you want and need this next week to look like?<\/p>\n
You deserve to make whatever that is happen for yourself.<\/p>\n
