Accurate representation of me drowning in my to-do list.
.
Feeling very overwhelmed at the moment. Feel upset that I’m constantly saying, ‘I’ll just do this and then I’ll relax/play with Pearl/make a nice dinner’ etc and never doing it. A struggle I’m sure we all feel from time to time. I’m going to re-assess what can be removed from my to-do list but I live in fear that someone will be let down or be disappointed in me. People pleaser problems 😂

felicityfeinman I can relate so hard! I watched an interview with Oprah recently that changed my perspective on people pleasing. Apparently this is something Oprah struggles with too. She said people pleasing is all about wanting everyone to think you're nice. Apparently she was talking to Steadman about it and he told her "Well, you're not really nice and one day people are going to realize that." Haha. So, ever since, instead of focusing on people pleasing, Oprah focuses on her intention. She goes into work with a clear intention, e.g. I want this show to raise awareness about Alzheimer's (I just made up that example). Then, instead of focusing on whether her work made everybody happy, she focuses on whether she delivered on her intention. I found this so helpful because it gives me a focus when those people pleasing thoughts pop up.

rillaliving This is the life of every working woman. Caregiving and responsibilities comes first every time for me. A few years ago I declared Wednesdays as my home alone nothing day. I sleep in, stay in my jammies and veg the fuck out savouring every precious quiet minute till they all get home from school and work. It has saved my sanity. It seems counter productive on face value, but it recharges me and means I am coping better, happier, and not as overwhelmed the rest of the week.

dibdabbob Feeling overwhelmed is something I hear regularly from my fellow thirties compadres! And often how I feel myself. Louise, you’re amazing. Give yourself a break and know that THAT is ok. Breath and rest. People will love you all the more for giving yourself that self love. You’re an excellent human. Here, have a t-Rex emoji... because this is also excellent ? and get removing some things off that list ??

_caitlinbeth_ As a student teacher, the best advice I was given about to-do lists was learning to accept that they’re never going to end, prioritising, and understanding that having things on your list for a long time is fine, as at the very least you’re thinking about it and it’s there, instead of whatever it is being forgotten in an attempt to finish the list completely ? Just some thoughts that helped me ?

ourhappyhome__ Couldn’t of said it better myself, exactly how I’m feeling at the mo ? it’s quite draining isn’t it! Feeling the need to constantly please other people. Us mummas are defo too hard on ourselves most of the time! I just try to remember that as long as I know I’m doing the best I possibly can then that’s all I can do. As you would say.. you’re a good egg ❤️

nvac84 I am currently preparing a presentation of, as well as wrapping up, my lab research project. Got a new job and will finally move to where my husband is! Also, have to accept the idea that I need to start packing ?. More than the major tasks it's the little smaller tasks which are overwhelming me!! They end up culminating into these huge tasks ???
