the word health is written in gold on a white background .
Are you Being Pulled in Every Direction
Amanda Roe • September 18, 2021

Are you a busy woman with more commitments than you have time to manage at your best? Perhaps you are working, a mother, a carer or all 3 stressed and struggling to catchup.

 

Do you feel like a juggler trying to keep all the balls in the air at the same time. Or perhaps a firefighter constantly stamping out fires only to find a new emergency suddenly ablaze and melting your front door.

 

More and more women today are experiencing burnout, but don’t realise that that is what it is. Life in 2021 is more intense, more demanding and more restrictive than ever before. Covid19 has made it so difficult to support our loved one’s, to grieve, to let off steam and recharge our batteries with social gatherings and fun activities.

 

There is immense pressure to be strong, to be the one holding your family together and your emotions in.

 

As a woman you are the heart and centre of your families world, so many people rely on you. It is natural to prioritise others especially if you are the eldest, the only girl, self employed or the one living closest. It is normal to feel like you are not doing enough and guilty when you believe others need more of you?

 

These stresses can overwhelm you and negatively impact on your health. So please take a moment and ask yourself is your menstrual cycle easy and regular? Is your mental health good? Is your mind quiet or does it race at night, affecting your sleep and your mood? Are you exhausted? Have you lost your appetite or are you emotionally eating and concerned about your weight?

 

What would it feel like to slow down….

To take care of yourself….

To breathe…

What would it feel like to talk with someone and release the pain in your heart and pressure in your head?

What would it mean to you to wake refreshed before the alarm, smiling and looking forward to the day?

 

There is no limit to what you can accomplish when you give yourself permission and surround yourself with the right resources. I know this can be difficult, so what would you do differently if it was your friend, your partner or your child who was feeling the way you are feeling right now?

 

Take a moment to imagine, what self care would mean to you.

What would it mean to be able to step through your fears, find your strength, your purpose and balance in your life?

What would it feel like to fill your cup…. to stop emotionally eating and be true to your own needs?

How important is finding natural solutions for your mental, emotional and hormonal health?

Often by the time I see people in my office they have got to the point where the pain is so great that they have to do something about it. Invariably they have spent a period of time ignoring it, or continuing with ineffectual care or masking the pain with medication. This presents 2 big problems:

I often have people in my clinics describe their knee pain, hip pain, back pain or any other kind of pain by saying - “It is just wear and tear I am getting old I suppose”. My reply is often along the lines of - “If it is just wear & tear and old age, then why isn’t the other knee/hip etc. painful? It is the same age, and has done the same miles.”

There are many different kinds of headaches and often diagnosis is not straight forward. One of the main issues that I come across is that people are wrongly diagnosing the type of headache they have. The most common in this group would be migraines. I am not sure exactly why this is but I think that in many ways the term migraine has become interchangeable with the word headache.
