Episode 106: Showing Up When You Feel Like Falling Apart

This week, I share on a topic we almost always don’t want to discuss, especially as Twin Moms. Yet so often, we feel like we are falling apart. It happens to the best of us. 

I’ve been through a couple months of doubting myself, doubting why I am doing everything I do…Yet life kept happening, it ain’t gonna stop. But in all honesty, my engine was running out.

I ended up cutting out all the excesses; leaving only the necessities that I could not delegate - Being mom, being wife, being a physician etc. Many times as moms, we need to pause on so many things; most of which are near-impossible. So how do you still show up despite almost falling apart? Here are some of the practical ways I was able to show up despite almost caving in:

I remembered that I must not put myself on the back burner, focusing on the things that threatened to take me out. I had to retreat and focus on myself and what I needed...Something I have learned to do frequently to re-energize and recharge.

Secondly, I realized that I was too much in my head, and not giving it all away to God, my Father. I was praying but not letting things go. I learned to fully depend on God and allowed Him to take full control. There are weights I do not need to carry, I have Him…Thank God for He has been my saving grace.

Thirdly, I recognized the help around me that I had almost forgotten or did not realize I have. These amazing human beings showed up in the most beautiful ways. They thought of me, they noticed I have not been myself lately…Find those people, that’s your community. Treasure them. Remember, you are not alone. 

I pray that you find strength in your low season; when you feel like it’s all crumbling apart, I hope you find the stability and staying-power as you reconnect with God, yourself, and with your community. One day at a time, you’ll get there.
