One of the hardest thing for me to do is sitting down to relax and let others help around the house. I really want to get up to clean, cook and do something but my body needs to heal so I can get back to doing the things I want again 🙂

Look at that label, hon. You are judging it because you call it relaxing, but it isn't relaxing. Your body is trying to heal, you have an irregular heartbeat, you get severe chest pain. Would you feel it appropriate for someone who had a broken ankle to be up vacuuming? Someone throwing up be scrubbing the bathroom? Of course not! And it is also reinforcing your family understanding empathy and compassion for someone who doesn't feel well, and that's going to strengthen their relationships with others in they lives.
It's okay, mama. <3

You are right it’s just really hard for me to do nothing at all when I’m used to doing everything. My older daughter told me last night I deserve to just sit down and heal because I do a lot for everyone else

it's really hard for me to do, too, and you're a mama of 5 who is GO GO GO all the time. It's very against your nature, but maybe try to refer to it as "healing" in your head instead of relaxing. And I bet your kiddos have picked up a thing or two from mama and will wow you with their skills.

You have a big family and they can help out. You need to focus on taking it easy. Allow some time to ease up. You’ll thank yourself.
Your body needs it.

Yes I’m learning to let others help me even if it’s really hard but in the long run I will heal faster if I just take time for myself
