Which is it?

The never ending cycle,

Breakfast,

School drop off,

Tidy house,

Clean the kitchen x30

Lunch,

Prepare dinner,

Bedtime

Tidy up again

Do it all over the next day, and the next..

And the next.

It’s up to you to decide whether this bores you, drains you, depletes you. Some days it will, but most days it feels like the greatest blessing. To be able to cook a home made meal for your spouse and children, give them a tidy space to create, explore and develop. A lot of people would kill to be able to do this, people who are poor, those without children, those living in fear everyday. So take it day by day, take a moment to yourself when you need to calm down, when the mundane tasks feel too much, take a break. Then start again, start with love and positivity, because your children pick up on your energy.

Body and brain

Your brain is the most powerful thing you have, more intricate, and more adaptable than the phone or laptop you are reading from right now. Nurture it, fuel it with good thoughts. Be mindful of negativity, stop it in its tracks.

Your body is the only one you will get. All the money and resources in the world cannot get you another body. Nourish it, fuel it with good food, move it, be grateful for it.

Look after them and they will look after you.
