Releasing the Illusion of Control...

Let's face it, life can tired a person out!  Add in jobs, romance, lack of romance, friendship, parenting, being someone's adult child yourself, self-care, sleep, eating, and being "tired out" can just grow and grow.  

For many of us, as we feel more and more tired and thus more and more out of control or busy, we just try to do more in attempt to give the illusion (to ourselves and others) that we totally "have it all together."  However, maybe we should just release that illusion of control and instead, step back, take a deep breath, and decide what REALLY needs to happen right now? Don't put more on the to-do list, put more into deciding what to put on the to-do list and how to do those things in ways that keep us happy but don't drain us completely.  

Parenting means we have to care for ourselves and for our children.  We only have so much energy, so let's stop using that energy to give the illusion of control and rather use that energy to love on ourselves, our families, our passions, our joys, our learning.  

All Good Things,
