Lately being a mom has felt super hard, heavy, and challenging. I told anyone who would listen:
“I don’t know what to do. It’s impossible to get him to sleep. I have no time for me. He is moving all over the place. He fell off the bed (!). I’m such a terrible mom.”
On and on I went. This language and way of thinking really just made things harder and heavier.
So I am changing it up so it feels lighter and more graceful:
“Being a mom is awesome (because it really is). He is forming a new sleeping rhythm that I am figuring out. I consciously make time for me. He is growing, creeping, and exploring constantly. I am doing my very best.”
I need to vent sometimes, but it reaches a point where I am just deepening the groove of whatever message I am saying and choosing to believe. Words have tremendous power. Change the conversation you are having with yourself and others and you will change your reality.
