Productivity Isn’t Success.

I’m in this place of burn out that I haven’t been in in a long time. The kind where I snap a lot and I’m not very kind and I’m rushing all the time. It’s like an anxious roller coaster and I need to get the hell off.

And what I realized is this. Most of my anxiety lies with trying to please people and that’s where I am at. I am doing so much right now for every one and I need to take a few steps back and get back into the life of peace I had been living. The space where I could breathe for a minute and no one was breathing down my back and calling me lazy for taking a day to stay in bed or no little voices were sad because momma didn’t have the energy to play or swim or answer all of their thousands of questions.

So you. If you find yourself running around every single day with no peace left inside, take some time to reflect on why. Stop trying to please every one and just live your life. Yes. People will be disappointed that you are being restful (not lazy) and yes, this isn’t the norm and you will feel the pressure from other people’s productivity but remember. Productivity isn’t success. Peace is.

I’m moving onward from this now. I can’t be everything to every one. I can only be me. And the me right now needs to be quiet and restful. Grace, peace and love, babes. 💋

And rest so your kids get the best version of you!
