Doing doesn’t mean it’s pretty, it doesn’t mean it’s easy, and it doesn’t mean no mistakes.⠀
⠀
Doing means trying your best, sticking to your guns even when you don’t feel like it. It means doing the work because you know the outcome will be worth it.⠀

Quick-fixes don't work when my boys fight. When I try diffuse the situation by intervening and solving the problem for them, it's not long until they're at it again. ⠀
⠀
The best way I've found to resolve conflict for any decent length of time is by acknowledging their individual feelings about the situation. ⠀
⠀
They are little versions of me, so why on earth did I think that quick-fixes would be the answer to my internal struggles🤷🏻‍♀️?⠀
⠀
Yelling at myself, battling with my expectations, ignoring what’s really happening, or trying to be like someone else has yet to resolve my anxieties, guilt, or struggles. ⠀
⠀
One thing that has helped is acknowledging my feelings.⠀
⠀
Just like listening to each other’s feelings resolves conflict when the boys fight, listening to my own feelings resolves my own internal fight. ⠀
⠀
Feeling are powerful messengers, pay attention to them 💗. ⠀

I just love this💗.⠀ ⁣⠀ It describes postp

⁣⠀
Honestly, I do, pretty much every day. ⠀
⠀
In fact, I've also never met a mom who hasn’t wished for some type of motherhood manual.⠀
⁣⠀
The book ”13 Things Menally Strong Parents Don’t Do” by @amymorinauthor is the closest thing to a manual in the area of raising empowered, confident, and adaptable kids that I’ve come across.⠀
⁣⠀
Every page is filled with useful information, ideas, and easy to implement strategies.⠀
⁣⠀
I first listened to it in audio format but it was too good not to have on paper. So now im reading it for the second time with my highlighter and notebook in hand.⠀
⁣⠀
If you haven't read it, I highly recommend it. If you have, I'd love to hear your biggest takeaway from it.⠀

“𝗜𝗻 𝗮 𝗿𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝗮𝗻’𝘁 𝘄𝗶𝗻, 𝘀𝗹𝗼𝘄 𝗶𝘁 𝗱𝗼𝘄𝗻.“ ~𝑇ℎ𝑜𝑚𝑎𝑠 𝑅ℎ𝑒𝑡𝑡⠀
⠀
These words went straight to my heart. ⠀
⠀
Even when I say I’m going to do less and be more present, I find myself falling back into my pattern of doing more, saying “yes” to everything and ultimately feeling overwhelmed, burnt out and resentful. But for what? Why am I doing so many things?⠀
⠀
Is it because I want to be better than others? 𝑁𝑜!⠀
I want to be the best version of ME.⠀
⠀
Is it because I want to have more than I already do, keep up with the Jones’s? 𝑁𝑜!⠀
Too many things overwhelm me.⠀
⠀
Is it because I want to get there first? 𝑁𝑜!⠀
My “there”, how I define success isn’t the same as anyone else’s anyway. ⠀
⠀
In this race of life that I’ve been running, it seems like I’m competing for a prize I’ve been conditioned to want but one that I actually want nothing to do with. ⠀
⠀
Embracing “𝗟𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗯𝘂𝘁 𝗕𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿“ is my way of winning MY own race where I get to make the rules and have the odds stacked in my favour💗.⠀
⠀
It’s time less items on my to-do list so I can be a better mom, better wife, better friend, better coach, better ME. ⠀
