Lately I'm not sure if it's hormones or what but I'm feeling all out of balance! Not just physically but mentally, emotionally, spiritually! I read about how as individuals we need to find that space and time for ourselves and make sure we do for ourselves - okay-I get that. But, where is the balance? Where do you still do enough for the family, friends, work, and those around you and still carve out time for yourself without being riddled with guilt or frustration? Where is the line where you are simply expecting too much from others? Or maybe, just maybe you are selfish and frankly your expectations of others are just too high and you need to be knocked down a peg or two?
I'm struggling with this all. I thought I was working so hard and diligently on myself and what I needed but maybe what I really need is a reality check and a kick in the pants to say that I'm the selfish one, I'm the one that actually needs to do more for others. Maybe I'm simply not doing enough? How do you know?
Maybe yet some better questions I need to ask are around communicating what you need - how do you communicate your needs and not have the person reciprocating this message put up defensive walls and feel like a animal backed into a corner? I guess more than anything I'm just feeling a little lost lately - maybe it's the 22 hours I spend in this house each day - the walls are closing in on me :) I'm just not sure where or how to find myself or my own voice without feeling like a cold hearted witch!
If anyone has any tips, tricks or ideas - trust me they are welcome!!
