(the mindset shift) to feel less stressed as a mom

Hey Mama!!

​

Sometimes I wish that motherhood wasn’t so stressful. I’m pretty confident that I’m the one complicating things.. but that’s a story for another day.

​

As a mama, you have so much on your mind. There’s that never ending to-do list, another toddler tantrum, and then that weird rash that just started on your other child.

​

There is never a dull moment.. I’m convinced!

​

But between overwhelm, burnout and stress… it can feel like we can never catch our breath.

​

Remember how I mentioned…. maybe I was just complicating things?

​

It’ true, I was making motherhood WAY more difficult for myself.

​

I thought I was selfless and had an endless amount of energy to pour into everything and everyone. So, I catered to everyone else’s wants and needs.

​

This was so toxic.

​

At some point, I was thumbing through an old journal and found some notes I had written down about being a Family-Focused Family.

​

This was the answer.

​

So, I began expressing my needs to my family.

​

I later realized this was one of the most helpful and selfless things I could have done.

​

If you are interested in learning more about a Family-Focused Family, you can watch my most recent video How to EXIT your Busy Mom Era Here.

​

This was how our family began focusing on the wellbeing of each person. It became evident that this was an important skill to teach my kids for two reasons:

#1 To teach them how to communicate their inner world + needs

#2 To notice + be mindful of the wellbeing of others

​

Although my kiddos are still very young, I know that these skills will continue to develop and help them to learn how to handle hard seasons in their life too.

​

Anyhow, I hope that you have a wonderful weekend… and Happy Parenting!
