Is there a way to stop juggling and feel better?

As ladies of the house, we are better known as jugglers. We feel proud to carry on this legacy. But I feel it is high time we should put down this crown and feel free. I have written posts earlier on my blog discussing ways to juggle as a mother. But now, under the current situation, every member of the family should take up small responsibilities to help each other and finish all the chores collectively. But it’s our nature that doesn’t let us rest and often we take up things from others. Is there a way to stop juggling and feel better?

You can also stop juggling

First of all, the most important thing is to calm down and don’t stress for work. This is going to be the situation for a few more days so instead of panicking take one work at a time. Admit that you are not responsible for every work at home or at work.

• Start with your kids. Teach them to do their personal chores themselves like drinking water and not asking for it. Keeping things back to their original place is their duty and not yours. If they don’t, let the things be there only. They will start doing it one day.
• Let your spouse help in the kitchen or in the laundry or in maintaining the house. Gone are the days when specific works were assigned to specific members of the family.
• You don’t need to be a chef every day and try out new recipes and give a five-star restaurant feeling to all. Or be a creative star and make DIY kits all-day long just because social media is filled with such posts. Social media is the sole cause of depression as much as it is the cause of success. Choose your option wisely.

You are normal and you can also relax

How do you feel when you sit quietly and close your eyes? It feels uncomfortable to me. At the back of my mind, I feel guilty of sitting peacefully. The mind is always racing and making to-do lists that can be done in the time I am sitting.

It takes me tons of practice sessions to train my mind that I can also sit idle and do nothing. Work will always be there and life will be the same until I stop juggling and sort out my life for better.

When the workload is shared by other members, you will actually feel the difference. Life becomes sorted and you are not stressed. Targets become easy and time extends to give you the liberty to be happy.

How do you share the chores at home to feel happy?
