Base self-worth on other’s opinions
So much of motherhood is being confident in your own choices that the opinions of others can simply be that, opinions.

Expect the perfect day

Gossip about other moms

Base success on the state of the home
But, you know, kids like to dump stuff out, mix paints, color on things, and create things. And that? That means a mess often. Your success isn’t based on the throw pillows always on the couch, nor is your happiness.

Live in regret

Worry about making wrong choices

Forget about themselves
So find time to run, paint, sing, create, write, or whatever your passion truly is. Moms need outlets and if that means a massage or a longer hot shower, then so be it.

Play the martyr
If things don’t go your way or you miss something, go on and simply try to be positive. Being positive leads to happiness, martyring leads to crabbiness and really crabby kids. Choose wisely.

Race through everything

Fight every battle
Letting go of so much of the minutia of perfection opens up moments of joy within the day. It gives space for laughter, for times with our kids, and it truly gives you, the mom, grace.
