Have you met a mother who didn’t feel shortchanged in the Work– Kid Choice? Every mother that chooses to add a purpose to her life in addition to the children she is raising and the household she is running, is constantly feeling pulled in all directions.
The result is a short temper, stress, anger, and frustration. All because while running our life and everyone else’s, we do not stop.
STOP.
It is not a bad word. It is not bad to stop. It is ok to pause.
But that is not enough, as an overreaching mother, we need to be able to put ourselves before others without guilt. At least once every day.
Pause to tend to your garden, if that makes you happy, read a book, talk to a friend, exercise, party, whichever form of activity makes you feel more like YOU must be done. Atleast once every day.
This ensures a heightened sense of fulfilment, and every other activity automatically becomes more enjoyable. Do not forget to prioritize you. You are the vortex of everything else holding up in balance. If you are not at peace inside, the whirlwind of activity around you will be tainted with many derivative negative emotions.
The effortless way is to remember, if you are happy, youwill ensure everyone else is. Just remember to not place your happiness outside of yourself.
Reach Deep inside. Find your happy place and go there everyday.
