Steps to healing

There are LOTS of little steps to be taken to heal how broken i feel.

It started with just relearning one task at a time. So making sure every night the dishes were done (or at least the dishwasher loaded- how did i live 5 years without one!?!). And making sure just one load of washing a day is washed and hung, that the kids help pack thier toys away and make the living room tidy for the next day. They dont seem like much and to most they are second nature but to me it was a massive challenge to even consider it as they were too hard. But with patience on a friends part and a lot of support ive got those little things back and can start to rebuild more and more every day.


As part of my little steps ive found a 52 week challenge by Home life simplified which seems to fit in exactly with where im at in the process now.

The theory in building block progress is sound. Taking one step and adding to it rather than just skipping to the finish and trying to make it all good at once. I tried the second way... doesnt work. Taking the hard way is very daunting and scary but its proven time and time again to be the best way to make true progress.

Im hoping it will help make me even just a little less broken
