Parents' Burnout


 Parents, are you having a Burnout???

Life has changed from pre-pandemic to now! 

What was supposed to be a simple life became complicated with added variables. 

Variables added is one part of it but having no control over these variables has resulted in complex situations. As parents, you were spending lesser number of hours with your child before. But now, the quantity of time spent with your child has increased exponentially putting the quality of time at stake! 

Children need our support and guidance but they don't need us 24/7. As parents, one needs to comprehend this and take appropriate action. Else, you will become a "Helicopter Parent". To become effective, a parent needs to be mindful and disciplined. In the present circumstances, are you feeling that you are overburdened as a parent? Do you think you are exhausted "Parenting"??? Here are a few teasers for you to assess whether you are having a "Parent Burnout" --

  • Are you screaning at your child atleast once a day?
  • Are you feeling like going on a vacation with no strings attached?
  • Are you exhausted at dealing with your child's needs everyday?
  • Are you getting angry at yourself or others in different circumstances?
  • Are you multi tasking?
If you have answered YES to atleast one of the above, you are experiencing Burnout. If you answered YES for more than three of the above, then you need to take care of yourself. Remember, you can take care of your child only when you are fit enough. And keeping yourself mentally fit is of utmost importance right now. Self-care is crucial to become effective and peaceful. Do not panic if you are experiencing a Parent Burnout! We are here to support you. Remember, it is possible to rectify your circumstance only with YOUR WILL AND SUITABLE ACTION! 

For today, indulge yourself in a simple task of Self-Care. Sit in a calm secluded place and -----
DEMARCATE ALL ASPECTS OF YOUR LIFE AND SET BOUNDARIES
ENJOY EACH MOMENT OF YOUR LIFE
BE MINDFUL AND PRESENT IN ONLY ONE ACTIVITY AT A TIME

Did I hear you say that you are already doing this?
Reflect again and be true to yourself. Work on small cracks in your boundaries.
Experience the magic of mindfulness!
