I have that song running through my head at the moment. One of the features of my ADHD is that I get an idea, and then I get another, and another, and soon I’m drowning in ideas and trying to do them all at once. Then I get overwhelmed, overloaded, and my brain just says no.
So what caused it this time. Well I decided I needed to generate some more income and I like the VA work I have done, so I’ve started a business to try and get some more work along those lines. And I enjoy the parent helper work so I’ve been expanding my hours with that as well. And of course doing that (plus looking after 4 kids of varying ages, and the parent’s home while they were away, and the normal household tasks) has meant I haven’t been doing those things that bring me some peace and calm – like the propagating, gardening, craft, etc.
*sigh* I was really feeling quite down and unsure what to do, but writing it out I can see where I need to change things. I still want to go ahead with finding one or two more clients for my VA business, and keep on with the families (mum’s) that I’ve been helping, and possibly adding one more because I really do love it, but I really do need that down time / me time, whatever it is called, and not have that be the first thing that goes each time. I’m still learning (or unlearning) how to manage life – at 52 you would think I’d have more of a handle on it 😉
