This week’s video post poses the question, how will caring for yourself help your family relationships? Just an idea to consider. When a mother cares for herself and when her wants and needs matter, what are her daughters learning by simply observing her life each day? Yes, mothering requires sacrifice and dedication, but do we sometimes get bogged down when we think the only equation possible is either or? Either my needs or the children’s needs, win and lose? How about thinking in terms of a win/win solution when decisions are being made?
We are creative beings and that is where most of our power lies in family life! For example, if you want to exercise more but are in a habit of thinking there’s no time for it, I would challenge you to think again and get creative! Pray for enlightenment! Solicit support from children, spouse or friends. Find the win/win equations that are right in front of you but may have been invisible…until now.
Show those little women how to honor themselves, by honoring you, their visual aid.
