Being kind to yourself. Why is this so hard for mothers to do? We are kind to our children, our spouse, our family, the clerk at the grocery store and the stranger on the street. But, why can’t we be kind to ourselves? As mothers we have this strange belief that we need to be everything to everyone at every moment. A great mom, wife, daughter, friend, employee all while balancing the million things on our to do lists that life throws at us. If I could implore mothers to do one thing it would be to stop the self doubt and constantly asking ourselves if what we are doing is right or if it is enough. You are enough. In this fast paced world where we are expected to do it all, stop and remember that you are only one person. We are all navigating motherhood together. And we are all on a journey that is distinctly our own. Only we understand it. We all have bad days where we can’t wait to put our heads on the pillow at night and we all have good days where we feel like we are slam dunking life. Most days fall somewhere right in between. So remember, in the midst of this crazy journey to give yourself grace. xoxo
