- Prioritise discovering a way to connect to your inner self
I ran a 30-day challenge recently called the Happiness Habit. I wanted to discover my way to a deep, unwavering happiness and a feeling of embodied peace and calm. I invited other mums to do the Challenge with me. Every day for 30 days I asked questions to get us thinking about our emotions, mindfulness, self-care and gratitude. What I realised at the end of 30 days was that everything I needed in relation to these things was inside of me, so I committed to connecting to my inner-self more regularly. I am trying to do a morning meditation before my children get up and notice the sounds and beauty of morning that are so uplifting and spend some time by myself not doing anything. Think about what will work for you and treat this time like any other appointment by not cancelling on yourself to do the laundry or more work.
- Set your intentions
I know, I’ve already said this, but I can’t stress more how imperative strong intentions are to designing a life you love.
One of my favourite ways of setting intentions is through Vision Boards. They let you play with the idea of what would happen if you could choose what comes next in your future. They are an excuse to get creative, they relieve stress and they let you have fun with possibility. Through the process of creation your vision becomes clearer, your hope and motivation increases, your stress reduces and you remember that you are more than just mum; which gives a feeling of empowerment and identity.
If you are reading this and thinking, that sounds great, but where would I find the time to create a vision board? I invite you to spend half an hour with me for free, with the goal of getting you out of overwhelm fast. Life Coaching is powerful. It is effective, but it is gentle. And I am a mum, I know what it’s like to live this crazy life of mum. I have been where you are and I revisit that place even now. The difference is I have developed a set of tools and strategies to get myself quickly out again.
Nowadays I am not surviving parenthood. And nor should anyone else. We should all be living a life we enjoy, one we have designed with intent, one that fulfils us. We all deserve a life full of health and happiness, and by looking after ourselves first, by filling our cup, we are able to fill the cups of others and look after those who matter most to us and ensure their lives are full of health and happiness as well.
