What stresses you out?
For me, it is the daily grind, the feeling that I am biting off more than I can chew often getting this sense of failure when I don’t accomplish all 1,005 things on my to-do list.
Why do we do it? Why do we feel like we are indestructible until we have that first breakdown? I feel that as parents stress and tension has become so entrenched in our day-to-day lives that we often don’t recognize it anymore. Often blaming the stress and tension on everything around us instead of taking a look at what is going on within us.
I can honestly say, since having my son almost a year ago, I have felt stress and tension like never before. It’s like walking on a tight rope with no net underneath me to catch me, forcing me to leave little to no room for error.
Over the last several weeks, I began to learn to let go, I call friends, disconnect from this insane digital world we live in or simply doing something fun has gotten me out of my stress/tension slump.
So why not take a step back and enjoy our live sanity ?
I know that saying something and doing it are two different things, but what is really holding us back from taking on less and enjoying a bit of simplicity every once in a while?

I think it’s the wanting to be the Perfect mom. I too struggle with stress sometimes. And I sometimes tend to forget what’s really important, my family, I’m too busy worrying about everything else. I think we always have to set priorities, and if all our list doesn’t get finished than so be it and add it to tomorrows.
I completely agree with you!
I think it also has to do with wanting to accomplish everything at once to be able to have that time to dedicate to our families. The sad thing is that it never seems to happen that way because something is always added to our already full loads.
Complicated relationship of the family… so stressful!

Work-life balance is a problem for many people, as a working student I am trying my best to balance my work and study, what I do is? I make a “to-do list” in order to keep track of my tasks.

It’s really hard to balance stress and life. As a mom, there are many things that I need to consider before making a decision. Especially if there’s money involved.
