60. One Man Down: Priorities, Boundaries, and a Little Extra Self-Care

One man down in our house (yes he is improving) and the painting for the reno's is nearly finished (Phew)When you set up your life as a two person household and one goes down, it's time to get serious with your priorities.And you guessed it, boundaries!So the first thing that I did, was set up my week in a way that would not overload me, but I could still get the essentials done, along with the extra renovation stuff.I was working at a 'one step at the time, one day at a time pace'.And the biggest thing that I was taking care of was me.I made sure I was in bed early, that I was eating well, that I still had my down time (even if just for short moments) and I didn't take on anything extra.I actually shed off anything that didn't really need my attention for now.And there were probably a few moments where I used the word 'NO'.One beautiful thing that does pop up when there is one man down in the household is an appreciation for all that they do, to keep your household and the people in it running smoothly.And my hubby is exceptionally great at the sports trips and getting the dishes done!If you are in a space where you have one man down at the moment, take care and remember to look after yourself too.Until next time LIVE YOUR PASSION,Love Nat and MelHead over to our Grab Your Keys and Go community for some juicy conversations around the topics of our podcastshttps://www.facebook.com/groups/1921054834941568YOU CAN FIND NAT AND MEL HERE:SPLASH OF LIFE with MelIf you are a heart led entrepreneur ready to share your gifts with more clarity, passion and purpose, Mel's Holistic approach to personal branding could be a beautiful option to explore.
