I'm going down, down, down..................!


You’ve probably been wondering……………WHERE IS MOTHER GOOSE?    Well, wonder no more!  I’m baaaaaaaack!

But back from WHERE? 

From:  *****“Going Underground***** 

Have you ever heard of that term? 

 I use it to describe what happens when I need to lay low or drop out of life for a bit.

Can’t you just picture me laid down below the surface of the earth with the moles and badgers? 

Can you relate?

So exactly how does this work?   Well, when I start feeling overwhelmed
with my life (school activities, extra curricular commitments, marital struggles,  sick children, etc), I take a step back and immediately ‘go underground.’ 

I cancel meetings, activities and stick to the bare minimal commitments.  Also,  I make certain that I feel GOOD about this strategy.  I remind myself that this is critical to my self-care!  THAT is key. 

So…………The next time YOU feel overwhelmed with YOUR life, pare down, simplify and  GO UNDERGROUND!
