BURN OUT! It’s a scary phrase. To burn out and have nothing left. To burn out and not achieve what you want. To burn out and not have the energy to be the mum, partner, friend you desire….BUT it is such a prominent occurrence in busy mums these days. I feel there just isn’t enough education about how it can affect your body, mind and soul long term. And I’m telling you I am definitely a huge part of this epidemic of working women feeling like they have to be “super mums” too!
What does the word BURNT OUT actually mean?
A state in which you are mentally unable to handle any more stress. A state in which your energy and mental resources are depleted.3 SIGNS YOU ARE BURNT OUT AS A MUM:
1. You’re constantly tired
2. You are always snapping at the kids and your partner
3. You are forgetting everything and letting “things slip”
SO WHERE TO NOW?
Try these tools to get your mojo back and stop that mummy guilt for good!
Lower Your Expectations: If you’re anything like me you expect 200 percent of yourself all the time. This is not realistic and is adding huge amounts of stress in your life! It’s time to go easier on yourself. Celebrate your achievements and learn from your mistakes
