Support 2 : What does it look like to you?

"I feel so tired" How many times have you heard this ?

How many times have you said this? A lot I guess.

Go down memory lane and think of the responses you got.

Where they what you needed? Did the responses sooth you?

If no , was it you who didn't communicate properly? Or was it them that did not inquire properly on how they can help sooth you.

Often times as women we can find ourselves in tiring and overwhelming situations and in those times, the onus really is on us to communicate what we need and how we need to be soothed but what we do instead is communicate only the problem and not the way we can be soothed.

So the next time you say "I feel so tired" , you might want to add "can I get a hug?"or whatever else you may need to feel soothed-Normalise this.

And for the ones who haven't learnt how or what exactly soothes them, try learning yourself, catch yourself in instances where you feel your most relief - In those times , what are doing?.....
