IMAGINE IF YOU COULD.........
-MEET YOUR NEEDS,
-BOOST YOUR CONFIDENCE,
-MANAGE YOUR ENERGY,
-OVERCOME THE OVERWHELM & GUILT ASSOCIATED WITH BEING A MOTHER, AND
-FOCUS ON WHAT REALLY MATTERS.
CAN YOU RELATE TO THE FOLLOWING?
I THINK..........
-
Why is it not affecting my partner in the same way?
-
Why is everything left for me to sort out? I've gone from an independent women with a career to now being a mum, doing all the chores and child admin.
-
my fears and doubts are holding me back.
-
I am failing at parenting and/or work.
-
I've lost my direction.
-
it is not possible for my situation to change.
-
my focus is on meeting the expectations/ standards of others.
-
I need to be stoic. After all I chose to be a mum, so I’ve just got to get on with it.
-
my relationships (partner, parents, friends) have changed/suffered since becoming a parent.
-
the ambitious dreams set out pre children, no longer support the life I want to create for my family.
I FEEL..........
-
overwhelmed with the amount of external noise about what a ‘good mother’ should look like, feel like, and behave like, doubting my own intuition.
-
invisible or unseen.
-
trapped in motherhood.
-
unacknowledged or unappreciated.
-
judged by those closest to me.
-
I’ve lost my confidence & self belief since returning to work.
-
unclear whether returning to work is the right decision now that my priorities have changed.
-
perpetually drained and tired.
-
guilty and resentful at the lack of time for myself.
-
a lack of balance.
-
exhausted, as I am spinning so many plates, trying to be all things to all people and struggling to cope.
-
stuck in a rut but ready to set and achieve my goals.
