You will be laughing and crying as you watch this powerfully accurate and funny video... CLICK your new Mommy Mantra Song http://youtu.be/bCNf5iVa-18
I've been a mom for over 40 years and notice that with this length of time comes a certain distance and altered view of where you may be now. How long have you been a MOM? Trust me, your role changes over time but how you feel about being in the MOM role is what makes or breaks your success as MOM!Yes, MOM is an identity that will follow you for the rest of your life. I'll bet you are already identified in the playground, at the bus pick-up, on parent's night from "JK to forever", at work and in the minds of family.
BUT how does this identity impact your other identity... you know, the one that identifies you to yourself, your deepest self?
Today's video shows a mom who, out of desperation and perhaps exhaustion, lets go of trying to be perfect. She embraces that perfectly imperfect state of raising young kids. Her home will rarely stay tidy for long, her kids are dirty, messy and yes even, devious. Plus, she knows she needs time alone to recharge but how and when does she get that alone time?
Today's Tool is Awareness: Being the best parent doesn't mean being the martyr or the saint. It does mean being the best person you can be, so your kids will trust, respect, love and copy you... unconsciously.
Homework for the home study Parent the Parent student:
1. Practice being an honest, nonjudgmental observer of your own behaviour. Journal your thoughts.
2. Pay attention to how dramatizing the bad times, keeps you stuck there. Journal
3. Notice how much you complain and who is listening. Observe only.
Take all this observation and ask yourself gently, What needs to change?
Then work on one small change at a time.
We parent ourselves before we are the best parents for our kids!
