I really didn’t want to be awake at 4.45am.  I desperately wanted to be asleep, cozy under the covers with dawn yet to rise, to wake slowly of my own accord. You see I’m tired – desperately tired.  I’m on the Busy Train with a one-way ticket to Exhaustionville. I blame Feng Shui.  Not in a bad way at all – in a very good way! I had a Feng Shui consultation in November last year and decided after we returned from our Christmas/New Year holiday to go crazy and make a lot of the changes that were recommended to me. Now if you ever decide to get a Feng Shui consultation – and make all the changes at once – take it from me.  This is NOT a good idea! Not because the changes don’t happen.  Not at all.  It’s the complete opposite. The changes do happen – and if you decide to make all the changes at once guess what happens? All the changes you’re hoping for do happen – all at the same time!! Now I’m just like any Mum juggling a million things on any given day.  Sure I’ve got a good – no, great! – grip on my time management and can fit more than a bit into my day.  But whoa, Feng Shui, slow down!! January was quiet. February was quiet. You know – just the normal day-to-day stuff a Mum has going on when there’s kids and school to manage. But March.  Man!  My world went crazy! I had clients booked in three or four days each week – sometimes two in one day. Fantastic!  Not complaining! I had more social events than usual. Great fun!  I need more of this in my life. I started an intense eight week online business course. Super ready for this – and super excited at the growth it will bring. Money started flowing in – and out. Definitely a great thing! I think that’s it.  I’m sure there should be more – goodness knows it feels like more more – but there isn’t. You see, this craziness has made me completely exhausted.  I suffer from tired-overload at the best of times, but throw a little study (yeah, right!!) into the mix and my whole life has been tipped on its head. So what have I decided to do about it?   My plan is to take time to recuperate and look after myself. There are so many people I look after – family, friends, clients – and I am going to let them all know it’s time for me to look after me for a little while.  Get off that damn Busy Train for a little while and hang out in the slow lane. Thankfully there’s Easter.  Then school holidays.  And my usual Sacred Sundays with my self-imposed technology ban.  Plenty of time to take it slow, recuperate, recharge my batteries and take stock of what’s going on around me. Of course, once I finish studying things will change again.  I will need to create another Time Map with a new way of doing things.  Because that’s what the course, my business, my life is all about – change, moving forward. growing and giving.  That’s OK and I like it that way. All I can say is thank goodness for all those meals in my freezer.  Little did I know I would need them so quickly! I’d love to know – Have you ever been, or are you currently, on the Busy Train?  What did you do, or are you going to do, to get off it – even if it’s just for a little while?

Louise and I caught up for coffee to discuss her no nonsense, sensible approach to food, ways she thinks busy Mums can deal with the constant supply of food to their family and still put healthy meals on the table – and have a lovely chat along the way! I hope you enjoy this interview with Lou – I certainly did!
