Are you the "get sh*t done" Mom? Are you the fixer of all the things? Are you just so "busy?"

Being a Mom entails wearing lots of hats. You are chauffer, the chef, the cleaner, the "kiss my boo boo" person, the finder of lost shoes and much more.

But are you making yourself "busy" in order to avoid what is actually happening to to avoid feelings you don't want to face?

“I’ve always been very good at being numb. I’m the doer, the fixer, the one to take charge. It keeps my mind off what is actually happening so I don’t have to face the sadness.”
- Kristin Woodson Harvey, Secret to Southern Charm

It's easy to get lost in the busyness of it all. To keep the calendar full, scroll social media, shop and drink instead of facing the what is going on inside yourself and your emotions.

Take a moment today to write down one feeling or situation you are avoiding and what you are doing to avoid it.
