L.F.G. (Recovering from Codependence)

January 7, 2023 by not your average mom 3 Comments

I didn’t realize I was codependent until pretty recently. Like just in the last few months. It took being divorced to discover this. In fact, I’m not sure I ever would have figured this out if I had stayed married. The first time I heard the word codependent was in reference to alcoholics. I thought […]

What you want vs. what you need

December 30, 2022 by not your average mom 1 Comment

The hardest part about being a grown up (for me anyway) is taking ownership of all aspects of self-care. Most people don’t want to do most of the things they need to do to stay healthy. I don’t want to floss my teeth or go to bed early or eat (mostly) healthy or go the […]

I’m ready to focus on sleep.

December 27, 2022 by not your average mom 2 Comments

I haven’t ever had great sleep hygiene. When I was a kid it often took me a really long time to fall asleep. In my late twenties I developed some really bad issues with insomnia that eventually led to depression and hospitalization. Lying in bed trying to fall asleep and then having major anxiety about […]

When you break the chain

November 15, 2022 by not your average mom 2 Comments

When you fall off track you don’t need to jump back on right where you left off like nothing ever happened. You don’t need to get back up to the same speed you were moving at immediately. Sometimes when we break the chain of doing whatever it is we’ve been trying to do consistently, we […]
