As women we are under so much pressure to do it all. We have packed schedules, we have never ending to do lists & the pressure of it all is just too much sometimes. Being very deliberate with rest is very different from just lying on the sofa scrolling your phone. To feel rested, often, we need to learn how to get out of our heads and switch off for a little while. We struggle to allow ourselves to feel negative emotions, others around us struggle when we feel sad or upset. This can lead to us eating/ drinking/ consuming to help us deal with negative emotions. There is a constant drive from society to put a smile on our face & get on with it. It’s unhelpful. Take time to rest, take time to feel how you are feeling. We all feel the same from time to time. Eating well & exercise are two of the most important things we can do for our health & wellbeing. Stop putting them to the bottom of the list. 

If you are struggling from prolonged feelings of sadness or mental illness, please get help & speak with your GP. 

Take care.
