I am BEGGING the internet to stop showing me 5-9 morning routines where someone drinks structured water, journals for an hour, and does ice plunges before sunrise. My morning routine is hitting snooze until the fear of homelessness physically drags me out of bed.
My heart is so heavy today. ๐ We lost an ex-colleague because of a gambling addiction. He won R1 million at a casino, but went back the next day hoping to win even more and lost everything. He emptied his savings trying to recover the loss, then took out a bank loan and lost that too. With no money left, he resigned to access his retirement payout, gambled it away as well, and later died by suicide..
Gambling addiction is far more dangerous than many people realize. ๐ญ

Let your children see you have fun. Sprinkle it in whenever you can; Sing while you're stuck in traffic, dance when you're cleaning the kitchen and laugh at your own mistakes. Fun doesn't have to be reserved for weekends & vacation. Show your children how to enjoy life even in the mundane routines; they'll watch, learn and do the same.
This is free advice from an expensive psychologist. If youโre an anxious person, do everything for fun. Go to a job interview for fun. Submit documents for fun. Start a blog for fun. Anxiety feeds on importance. Donโt make everything a matter of life and death.
As a parent you shouldn't be telling your kids that you sacrificed your life for them, Itโs hurtful and manipulative, and itโs not true. You chose to have your kids and nobody forced you to have them. Taking care of them is your responsibility.
