This morning I have woken to one fo those days which mother’s seem to have – with too many worries about family members.
When stresses arise I somehow always bring the blame back to me – I think if my house was tidier, if I was more organised, if I insisted we ate at the table more … it seems I can bring everyone’s stresses together and feel responsible.
I am aware of this today and I understand that I cannot take ownership of every bit of hardship which enters my family’s life. I can make sure that I look after myself so that I am there to support others during their times of worries.
I can look after my physical health, my mental health, my finances and anything else which keeps me prepared for the stresses life throws at us.
