Day 57 - Taking the time when I can to rest

Rest is eluding me a bit over the last few days. This week is feeling incredibly 💫 heavy 💫.

Playground meltdowns. Being in the process of saying goodbye to our old dog. Being up every couple of hours with a newborn. Feeling like I am in perpetual bear mode. Not having the mental capacity to entertain a toddler. Waking up for the day from 2.30am-3am because that feels like the only time I can catch my breath, whilst knowing this is adding to my exhaustion.

It's all just a bit heavy.

I adore not overloading myself with tasks. I adore postponing things or pushing something to the next day if I have no energy. So, I will continue to ask myself today as I do most days, what do I feel like doing today and what can wait.

Then this afternoon I am giving Mr F screen time when Miss E is asleep and I am doing nothing because yes, rest is effing magical isn’t it Juliet! (Thank you for these words!😍😍😍).

Boom.

Sending love to you if today feels hard for you as well. I hope you can find some space for you, I hope you can lay the f&*% down.

This image I will call Flower Let Down and is actually breastmilk falling from red flowers 😂. I love it lol.
