You Are a Good
Enough Mom, Right Now!

Are you the kind
of mom who likes to get out and be on the go? Or are you the
kind of mom who likes quiet time at home?
Are you the kind
of mom who encourages creativity in your children? Or are
you the kind of mom who shows your children the practical,
hands-on stuff of the world?
Are you the kind
of mom who fosters your children's intellectual pursuits?
Or the kind of mom who is likely to initiate a heart-to-heart
talk?
Are you the kind
of mom who goes with the flow in the moment? Or the kind of
mom who likes to have some structure to your day?
You could have
many of these attributes or some or any combination. And each
one is just right!
Your children are
lucky to have you as a mom, because no one else could do it
the same way as you.
You are special
being you! You are good enough being yourself. Until you get
that, all of your parenting will be hard and will suffer.
If you believe
that you are not good enough, your children will pick up on
that thought and believe they are not good enough either.
Is that what you want? I didn't think so. So, you have to
believe in yourself right now.
I am a good enough
mom.
I am a great mom, being myself.
I am the perfect mom for my children right now.
So, you don't believe
it yet? Well, that's because you may not be expressing that
perfection that you are, as of yet. But the first step is
in realizing and believing that deep inside, the real, authentic
you IS good enough, perfect enough, enough, enough, enough,
just the way you are. You don't have to go changing a thing.
Write those affirmations
above out, three times. And then read them outloud, three
times, even if you don't believe them yet. Because, the more
you say them, the closer you will get to believing them. And
then, when you are being yourself in your mothering, it WILL
be perfect, perfectly YOU!
And your children
will see that you are good enough and perfect being yourself.
Which, in turn, helps them to believe that they are good enough
being themselves.
If you want your
mothering to be fun, easy and fulfilling, BE YOURSELF! Without
conditions, without judgments, just BE YOURSELF! And then
it won't matter what the Jones' or the Smiths' are doing or
saying, because you are being yourself and that is the greatest
thing in the world!
What others do
and say is their responsibility and what you do and say is
yours.
There are many
parenting experts out there that feed on your fears of not
being enough. Time has come to claim your own power back.
To stop listening to the experts and listen to YOURSELF. You
have your own perfect and good enough answers within. And
it is time to discover them.
The idea of the
perfect mom is gone. It is time to replace it with the idea
of the perfect you. The best you can do is your best, until
you decide to do better. And then it is your choice, not the
choice of a "should" or a "mother-in-law"
or "your neighbor" or even your "spouse".
Comparing will
get you no where! How could you even compare an apple and
an orange? Each one is fundamentally different. Yes, they
are both fruit and yes, you and your neighbor are both moms,
but each one is unique and special in their own way. YOU are
unique and special in your own way!
I am unique and
special being me!
I am good enough! I am great!
I love myself for being myself!
I deserve fun, easy and fulfilling parenting!
My children deserve a fun, easy and fullfilled mom!
Now it is time
to awaken and discover that special and unique mom you are!
Are you ready? Are you ready to have fun, ease and fulfillment
in your mothering?
Ok, let's go!
Enjoy!
