How many of us pretend we aren't hurting? How many of us put on a brave face and go do the thing... only to never heal? How many of us just figure we are inept, there is something inately wrong with us, or there is just no hope for us? 
We can't heal until we are aware of our hurt and ready to face it.
1. Be honest with yourself (awareness) When we pretend that everything is fine, the pain will re-surface and the impact will be ten-fold.
2. Ask for help (believe) Don't struggle in silence. Let your village know that you aren't coping well.
3. Talk openly. Whether it is a loved one who will listen to you without judgement, a counselor and/or a coach - share your feelings. Talking openly is a huge step in healing.
4. Learn to say "no" more often. Do less things better rather than doing everything asked of you.
5. REJOICE and reward yourself! We are so good at belittling ourselves and telling ourselves that we are failing. Flip the switch! Remind yourself that you do so many things well!
6. Accept that perfect is not possible!!! Strive to be happy and to have joy. Perfection is not a thing!
7. Make time for you. We fulfill SO many roles. Don't lose sight of YOU. Give yourself permission to take time for you.
8. Start putting yourself first. Once you put yourself back on the to-do list, you will see that it is invaluable to prioritize yourself.
9. Stop comparing yourself to others. Please!! Heidi, stop it!! We all feel inadequate and overwhelmed. We are supposed to be us. We can ONLY be us. We are unique and our worth is endless!
