Day 2 of documenting what happens when a burned out homeschool mom starts using wearable wellness tech. 🤷🏽♀️
 Yesterday morning, something happened that honestly shocked me.
Our house was chaotic— kids, music blasting, dogs wrestling, breakfast cooking. 🎶
I was nudged to go into the homeschool room and when I did, my oldest dropped a sharp knife onto the desk and looked at me like a deer and headlights. 😳
Normally, my nervous system would have gone straight into action mode. If I’m honest, burnout has had me on edge lately.😫
But yesterday?
I calmly said:
“What happened?”
My daughter literally said, “ I’ll just go to my room…”🤨
Because she expected me to yell.😏
(A generational thing I’ve had to work on in my mothering journey. I’ve done well, but feel something missing.)
And the crazy part?
I didn’t just not yell…
I didn’t even feel the surge inside that usually causes it. 🥹
She stuck a crayon in the pencil sharpener… big whoop 🙄
Later yesterday, it happened again.
Another moment where my brain normally reacts first and think later.
But something inside me paused.
And I actually had a filter before I spoke.
That might sound small to some people…
But if you’re a mom running on empty, like I have been lately, you know that moment is huge.
Other observations from Day 1:
☀️ Down 2 lbs from Thursday (even after breakfast and water)
☀️ actually thought about working out (not changing lifestyle for first 14 days though)
☀️Scooped ice-cream for the girls… had a bowl out for myself…. But when it came time to fill mine- I didn’t even WANT it 🤯🤯🤯
And if you know me….
Ice cream is my WEAKNESS. 😅😅
I’m documenting everything for the next 30 days because I’m curious what happens when your brain and body start communicating better. 🧠
