This was shared with me by another individual but I completely agree with this. It is childrenβs mental health awareness week so why not highlight it in a different way.
This is gunna sound strange, but stick with it!!
How often do your let your phone battery get down to just 2%? I'm gunna guess not very...
What is your phone good for when it gets down to just 2%? Not very much!
So why do we let ourselves and our children get down to 2%? We give and we plod on and we get things done and expect our kids to do the same... then wonder why we or they get frustrated, angry, snappy, tearful... they are all the things our phone would be if it could tell us when it's at 2% and we are still asking it to play music, give directions, and allow us to make calls.
So what do we do? We recharge our phones dont we... so why do we so rarely recharge ourselves??
It is so important to take time to recharge, do something mindless, sleep, have a movie day, take a bath, read, take a walk, have a cuppa, have a conversation with someone... do something that helps you recharge every day!!
Feel like you dont have time... can I tell you a secret, the more charged you are the more you will get done quicker and more effectively so if you take the time you will still get everything done you want to that day
Look after you ππ
