So I made it! Ben is home! Kids are alive… House is still trashed lol! I was thinking the other day about the things I HAVE to do to keep it together mentally! My schedule can be a little intense at times and if I’m not careful I can get really overwhelmed which often results in me shutting down, crying and freaking out on Ben. Lucky guy!! Lol … Here are 5 things I do to keep my sanity on a regular basis.
1) Workout: this is huge for me. On a good day I’m at the gym for 1-1.5 hours. I lift weights, do cardio and relax in the steam room. Once a week I get killed by a trainer! But, this is my “me time” and I look forward to it everyday.
2) Create: Creating is one thing that keeps me alive. I love making ideas, plans + dreams come to life. Every day I’m creating in some way. Most times it is through my blog.
3) Work: Lately, I have been working more than I would like. Working 2 days a week would PERFECT for me. That’s what we are working toward. I love the current job I’m in. My co-workers are awesome and the work is most times non-stressful. I consider work a little break from the chaos.
4) Get around other mamas: honestly, this does not happen as often as it is necessary for me. Once a week would be totally ideal but I get with my friends about once every other week and it is SO life giving. It’s usually one on one and just what the Dr. Ordered!
5) PRAY: I can’t tell you how many times I’ve just shot up prayers like “Lord give me strength!” This is my biggest sanity keeper and it works!!! Thankfully God is reliable and nearby even when it doesn’t seem like it!
What do you do to keep your sanity?! Please do share!!

Your outfit is so chic…LOVE that jacket and those pumps are yummy!! Keeping it sane..ha ha don’t know that I am so successful at that lately.! My kids are grown, but between blogging and working almost full time I think somedays I will lose it. I try to tell myself..one thing at a time! I want it all now and learn it all at once..not gonna happen! And yes…I totally believe in prayer….it helps for sure!

Praying helps me the most! I need to look into working out! I am sure that will help a lot, and get me back to being healthy! Love that top by the way!

Blue is beautiful color! It blends in very nicely with a lot of accessories. You look good in this color. And, I agree with you – I do the same 5 things for my sanity too. Started a group workout program in my garage with a group of mamas and that’s like the best thing happening to me right now. I pray a lot too 🙂
Anna says
Love, love, love how you styled it!!! I totally understand you. I’m not one of those moms that just somehow keep it together through anything and go along with a smile. I pray for patience, lots of patience. Working out is my stress relief and creating as well. Great post! ~Anna http://www.pepperandlife.com
