I’ve been reflecting a lot this week on being a mom and watching other moms mom with an exaggerated awe.
I love watching mothers and their children react towards each other. Just this week I’ve seen some really sweet exchanges of the two. One being a child playing with a camera and the mother bending down to snap a selfie with him. The smiles, the laugh. I know this feeling and it’s the best in the world…
I can only speak from personal experience but I’d love to share how Motherhood has changed me. I’ve always said that my children came here to teach me rather than me teach them. Being a mom has helped me heal, helped me feel, helped me truly love myself. It didn’t happen early days, I was still trying to prove to much about how great of a mother I was going to be. Iwasconstantly competing with ways other mothers mothered and judging either them or myself. I had expectations of the kids that they were obviously not going to meet because they were children as opposed to robots. I put everything into caring for them while neglecting caring for myself.
Through my self discovery journey (thank god!) I learned a better way. I learned how to surrender and how to trust, trust myself. I learned compassion and forgiveness, forgiving myself. I learned through guidance and honesty and empathy that I have a better connection with my children.
I learned that I also need nurturing for myself to continue to butter this relationship.
I no longer felt guilty about taking care of myself first so I could take care of my children better.
Like I said, I’ve learnt the greatest things I feel to this day from being a mom. So grateful these two found a way to me and I’ve been able to see everything differently.
I will forever be grateful for this experience with them.
So in return, I’m reaching out to all you Mamas. Who feel exhausted, under appreciated, overwhelmed, lost. Who feel guilt and frustration on a regular basis.
I see you 🖤
