Here's your friendly Friday reminder to all my friends.... your kids (husband too) Don't need a perfect mom. They don't need a spotless, pinterest perfect house. They don't care what size or shape you are. They don't care if you make perfect meals, organize all the things, or if you make mistakes. What they need is a happy mother. A happy wife. The rest is extra. Society has caused so many of us to place our worth on all these things and we set that bar so high that we feel like failures when we don't reach them. Who conditioned us to believe that in order to be a good mother you had to run yourself into the ground? Why do mothers glorify the lack of care for themselves? When you give all you've got, you've got nothing left to give. WHY do so many moms put their needs at the bottom? And then wonder why they are so stressed, and unhappy? Do you know what they need? Happy healthy mothers! A happy healthy wife. The best thing I ever did was remove myself from the bottom of my todo list and start putting me at the top.. It's not selfish, it's important. I know you've heard the saying, you can't pour from an empty cup. Do your hair if it makes you feel good. Dress the body you have don't wait for the one you want. Get healthy. Take some time to care for yourself. Wake up early and get ahead of your day. Read a book. Listen to music. Do the things you love, especially the thing you used to love. START THAT BUSINESS, do that project, take that break, exercise because you love your body not because you hate it. The more you pour into yourself the more you have to give. You'll be a better mom, wife, friend, daughter the list goes on. But most importantly you'll start to really LOVE yourself and your life. If you wait for the world to love you, to care for you the way you need, to help you, for the time to be right, blah blah blah THE TIME WILL NEVER COME You've got ONE CHANCE. ONE! The best thing you could ever do, is LIVE YOUR BEST LIFE. Do it! I'm rooting for you 😘💃 . . . . #friday #friyay #igtruth #igdaily #writers #dolifedifferently #mompreneur #freedom #feels #imperfect #perfectlyimperfect #flawedandflawless #smiles #sunshine (at Florida) https://www.instagram.com/p/CShaUkdgAqg/?utm_medium=tumblr
