My house is constantly a mess and I never get to the bottom of the washing basket – I’ve just learned to accept it and relax about it. I hate being late, but often am (only by 10 minutes, 15 max) – I’ve learnt to relax about that too. It’s not ideal, but it’s a reality of a life as a woman-who-does-too-much. I’ve realised that no amount of stressing will get me there faster – so I just take a deep breath, and let it go.

I’ve made some pretty big changes in my life recently to try to reduce stress – diet changes, cut back on work (outside home only 3 days per week), go to meditation class one evening per week. These strategies have reduced the stress, but not the chaos – I guess they’ve just help me accept and cope with the chaos better.

Do you really need to change?, or is it just that you need to change the way you feel about your chaos? xx
