Me Time in Between the Busyness of Life -LOH 131

I came home too tired today. Loads of work were overlapping, dealing with deadlines after deadlines. The job has been so demanding these days. Just when you started to focus to finish one, another one would come. Urgent reports to submit are waving. 👋 They say take take it slow, one at a time. But how? They say rest when you are tired. But how when you have so much on your hand. The pressure is on and it sucked out the little energy I have left.

And the hardest part of being a working mom is that going home doesn't mean you can finally rest and lay on your back and just relax. I still need to take care of the kids until they sleep. I need to prepare their supper, let them eat and get them to sleep then wash the dishes. It seems never ending. And even until now I am blogging. 😆

How did I survive?...

One, I just do! It's instinct to just go through the day. I guess my body systems are working their best to keep me on track without losing it.

Two, it's the ME TIME in between. For me, me time can still be enjoyed in between work hours. I already mentioned before in my previous blogs that I enjoyed eating alone during lunch. It's the only time of the day that I am alone to wallow in my own thoughts. It has always been a question thrown at me by my colleagues why I don't take lunch at the office and had to come home (my house is just a kilometer or less from my working place and I just bike my way to and fro). And my answer would be... I feel relaxed when I am alone even for that short span if time. I feel fully charged again whenever I took off for a while from the chaos of worklife and just enjoy the peace and serenity of being alone at home.

When I am too tired to cook. Rice + milk powder is the answer. 😅

Three, I multitask. I can do work while having me time at the same time. Yeah, I consider this my me time. I love watching documentaries,and informative and opinionated vlogs and I do it even while in the middle of doing something like washing the dishes, washing clothes or taking a bath 😆. Listening to this kinds of vlogs fills my mind with new learnings and help me think critically on moral , social or political issues that is affecting our country.

Watching my favorite vlogger tackles on issues that matter.

This is how I enjoy my me time on a busy day.

Like what people say rest when tired orstop for a while when it is too overwhelming. Remember that at the workplace we are always replaceable. Our health, mental and physical is our only real wealth. Enjoy me time coz we need it and we deserve it.

The headphone is a good idea to escape for a while. I hope everyone gets to respect your me time.

It's a little hard to be a working mum. Me time is something we all deserve.

Thank you for the read. Have a wonderful day! 😄
