You're a Snappy Sheila
You are on the verge of total burnout. You are on edge and it is no secret. You used to be able to handle day to day up and downs, but now it’s like your patience has left the building. You find yourself constantly irritable and wanting a break. You lack patience with your kids and are snappy with your partner even when you are making an effort not to be. You also find that your energy is volatile lately and by mid afternoon you are wishing you could have a nap. You are counting on coffee to help get you to bedtime, then because you just want some alone time, you often end up staying up late missing out on the sleep your mind and body is so desperately craving! You want to get back to the person you used to be before life pushed you almost over the edge.3 Quick Tips to Help You Feel More Like Yourself Today1) Get Outside DailyA daily dose of fresh air can do wonders to help reduce your stress level and improve your mood. Even better yet is if you can get out for a brisk walk, sans kids, and listen to your favorite music or podcast.2) Put Down The WineThe occasional glass here and there is fine (1-4/week) but anything more than that can really help to increase your irritability.3) Try An Earlier BedtimeI know it cuts into your me time, but the benefits of the sleep will make you feel better and help you to get some me time during the day.Before We Go Any Further – Let Me Introduce MyselfHi there, I am Dr Alexis Reid, a naturopathic doctor, chemical engineer, toxicologist and mom to a very busy one year old boy. We had a rough first year with my son. He had severe eczema and food allergies. At one point in time when I was breastfeeding him I was only able to eat 4 foods for 16 weeks! All of this, plus seeing my patients and running my skincare line Eco Chic Movement, left me feeling very tired, stressed, out of control and pretty much like I was failing every day. I pulled together everything I had learned working with burned out moms in my practice for the last 7 years and am happy to report that I am feeling much better! I am glad you are also taking the first step to getting back to feeling like yourself!
