My Life in Words |
|
A little over 6 years ago I found myself in a really sad, lonely, unhappy existence. I was desperate to find some additional support for my then 14 year old son who is diagnosed with Autism, had multiple environmental allergies, food sensitivities and intolerances too. Six years ago he was miserable. I was miserable. I was the hot mess express. Our whole household was chaotic in every way. My home was filled with a lot of tension, stress, strife and negativity.
I was unhappy, unhealthy, emotionally wounded, scarred and hurting. Depressed. Anxious.
You name it, I was it. It is HARD to be a good mom when you feel that way!
Daily life was chaotic, messy, unorganized, etc... a real train wreck that I couldn't stop from happening over and over again on the daily even though I could SEE it. I felt really powerless and hopeless. My kids were sick a lot. They had some trouble focusing and going to sleep sometimes. Motherhood was NOT like I had envisioned. Heck, my life wasn't even what I had envisioned.
I wanted peace so badly. At the time, I didn't realize I held the key to that happening. I had the power to create that in my home. I just needed some tools and some knowledge.
My desperation turned to determination and I started looking and researching for ways to turn this all around and stop the madness and chaos. I made changes. My family sort of complained a bit (we can get comfortable in our discomfort because it's familiar!) I pressed on! I just KNEW it could be better, that it was meant to be better! I implemented things over time and some changes worked beautifully others fell to the wayside. But I did find what I needed to support our health and wellness in ways I didn't realize were possible!! I found some amazing tools, I made changes to my mindset, to our home environment, the foods we ate and our lifestyle in general. My only regret is not starting sooner!
I found ways to calm my frazzled nerves so I could think!! They helped me relax so I could sleep! I was able to focus again and look forward to facing each day. ALL of this made ME a better mom, wife, person, friend... it was the new and improved version of ME! I had more energy and vitality!
Yes, all of the above and more!! I haven't even touched the surface of how much my life has changed and how much the environment in my home has changed. It's not perfect, but it is BETTER. I would love to tell you more but I'd be writing for days......
Instead, stick around -- follow my blog and my IG and see what it's all about.
My life's purpose is to help you go from chaos to calm and from desperate to determined.
