Children are not a burden to escape or endure; they are a blessing that drives us to Christ because we are incapable of parenting well without Him. - Kim Brenneman

what works for me

So in relation to the last post on not being everything to everybody.. I'm going to share with you some of the things that have helped me in my burnout times.
I think i've shared on here about my struggle with endometriosis, and fibro.

These are the things that i have discovered over the years that have helped lesson the symptoms of these often debilitating chronic illness...

limited to no sugar
no wheat gluten
drinking lots of water
using natural cleaners, including dish soaps, hand soaps , shampoos, ect.
aromatherapy baths with detox... 2 cups Epsom salt, 1/2 cup baking soda and a few drops of your favorite essential oil (my personal favorite is lavender as it has many healing, calming properties)
Sleep, naps when needed
exercise. Just a 15 minute walk can help
reusable pads for ministration

as for natural medication something that has helped me in SO many ways and really has been a lifesaver is something called Withania Complex.
It has been simply amazing.. i can not tell you how the herb mix has changed my life... I'm not trying to give you a sales pitch or anything.. just wanted to share how much it has helped me!

If you are interested you can check out this link on what is in it and what it is used for. If the link doesn't work... let me know.
As with any medication.. even if it is herbal.. please consult a physician who knows about natural medications and your body.

so anyway.. those are a few of the keys things that have really improved life for me... As well as learning to say no!

I just want to add a note in here to tell you that none of my readers has ever made me feel overwhelmed or like i was doing to much ( giveaways, guest posts, ect...) most of my burnout comes from certain family members and situations surrounding them. And if i ever am feeling like i just need to not do anything, i always let the person know that i am needing a break. So please never feel like you are a burden to me, because this little community is a blessing in so many ways!
