🤩When you feel good…. Life just hits different-do it with no shame

🫣Coming out of a 6 week full on flare up and I just feel good. Finally!

😕If you struggle with any form of chronic illness; you understand.

🤷‍♀️We can do everything right:
👍Healthy lifestyle
👍Healthy eating habits
👍Good sleep habits
🤔The list goes on

😩And it will still hit you like a freight train

😡It’s frustrating…. Infuriating at times and just down right awful. You feel defeated and sometimes you worry you’ll never feel “ok” again.

🤗Hang tight-the other side comes, eventually.

💪Stay strong warriors

🙌Definitely embrace those good days!

🏡Home is your safe place🫂

🥰Home is where you get to be flawed and not judged
🥰It’s where you get to unload your day as you wish-without judgement
🥰You get to look worn down and comfy
🥰You get to carry your big emotions without hesitation and learn how to navigate big emotions together
🥰Where you get to learn through your mistakes, safely
🥰Where you should feel and give the most love
❣️Home is a place where get to learn to be the best version of yourself

🥰Home is not a place to fear anything you say or do.

🤓Wherever “Home” is for you; make it the best, through it all.

🥰ALWAYS be KIND, but love YOURSELF enough to have LIMITS.

👚Giving the shirt off your back…
⚠️

🤷‍♀️I probably won’t be the person described as “she would give the shirt off her back for anyone”

🤫I used to be this person very much

🤯☕️As time has gone on; I’ve realized that being that person, contributed to my cup being extremely overfilled and eventually I cracked.

🚧Setting boundaries is the key to success in being a kind person within your limitations

🤔Will I still be the person known for kindness? Most likely; however, finding the boundaries I needed has allowed me to give to others and myself in a HEALTHY manner.

🥰ALWAYS be KIND, but love YOURSELF enough to have LIMITS.

‼️”Everything happens for a reason”

❣️”Trust the process”

🫣Not getting what you want is usually setting you up for something you did not realize you wanted/needed/deserved, more.

Hang in there 🫶

🤷‍♀️No-one tells you-

😬that you’ll watch it all fall into place for so many others before it falls into place for yourself; some are incredibly deserving and simply reached the goals before you-clap for them 👏 🥰

🙄and some lack any effort at all and you’ll watch it get handed to them…

🫵Meanwhile, you’re working incredibly hard for it to come together for yourself.

🫣Maybe your patience needs tested…

💪Keep striving for greatness
💭Keep manifesting your dreams

✍️Your story is still being written

💥 Prioritizing the household, health and children; atleast, for me….
Can you relate?
Pictured: two days of not managing the kitchen because all of us have been busy-2 days is all it takes to get behind. Yes, chores are shared

🫣Looks like:

💜Home cooked meals(not frozen or from a box)
🙈Endless cleaning and organizing
🙄Meal planning and prepping
😬Small and large home projects-because everything needs tended to inside and out constantly
🫨Not missing a day of work to afford it all
🫠Laundry ♾️
💜Practices, tournaments-lots of car time
🫂Missing time with friends
🤷‍♀️Missing events
🤷‍♀️Not planning a ton of trips or long trips with or without the children because, well, one income household…
♾️Countless Denied invites outside the house (but keep inviting me)
💜Planned game nights with the kids
💜Sitting at the dinner table together MOST nights
🤞Endless phone calls and texts to make sure we all have everything we need.
🤞Keeping up with coparenting communication
🤦‍♀️Did I mention work, work and work?!
🤷‍♀️Not dating for “fun”; not even dating for purpose….
🫣Soooo much problem solving in general
🤮Attending/managing doc appointments for everyone including the animals

🫶Yes, my children are old enough to be at home without me-but I’m teaching them that keeping a maintained household, work and family-is priority.
🫶I’m teaching them that they are important in the house; that it takes all of us to accomplish these things but most of all-that they have someone to always rely on.

🫶🤟I’m teaching them responsibility, reliability and LOVE.

🥰Yes, they will move out and move on but they will need someone to call when it’s hard and they need to know I’m there; for anything.
At the end of the day-I’m also establishing that I NEED them, too.

😘So forgive me when my social life is small. I’m still learning to balance without falling so far behind with the priorities of life. I am one person choosing to do it alone and it’s a lot as one adult in the household.

😊Managing my time in a healthy way and not over extending myself also keeps me healthier with all my health issues.

😘🥰If you can relate-I got you!
We got this!

Functional depression looks like this 👇

If you know, you know…

Keep pushing through, fill your cup when you can, rest when you can’t.

This too shall pass 💜

Chronic illness across the board-looks like a long list of issues like below 👇that bearer a lot of control on our lives.

If you struggle with any form of chronic illness-I hear you!

I am chronic illness
annnnnnndddddd, it sucks!

‼️Find routines that work for you without shame!

Many won’t understand and will leave-it stinks but it’s ok.
many won’t understand and still love you and some will fully understand you.

I lost a lot along my journey with it. Friends, businesses, relationships, money etc.

I have a found a routine that helps keep me at bay; unfortunately, it comes with a lot of “isolation” because in order to keep up with work, managing a home and staying healthy-I have to allow myself to recharge way more than I’d like to. On the flip side-if I do not stay to the routine, I cannot perform my job and eventually become sick enough and long enough that it affects the ability to keep up financially and physically at home.

Stay strong and find YOUR balance to maintain YOU.
