In case you need to hear this…
Becoming a mother is so rewarding and such a special time in life. Unfortunately, there are also some not-sure fun times that this phase of life brings. Family dynamics and roles are changing. Life is beginning a new phase.
You will probably hear and feel a lot of pressure to do things in certain ways. Lots of making you feel like you couldn’t know anything because you are a first-time mom or you only have one, etc. and all the just you wait.
Motherhood is beautiful and challenging all the the same time. There is so much to learn and so many changes going on within you. Fill your cup up with all the positives and leave all the warnings and unnecessary negatives behind.
Do what you want, when you want, and what makes you feel at peace. There are going to be so many “rules” that you feel pressured to follow when they’re nothing more than opinions.
Set the boundaries you feel are necessary for you and be outspoken on how you want things to go. You are the Mom and you get to make your family how you’d like to. This is an amazing thing.
Don’t feel pressured to follow in the steps of others even if close family did things a different way. You can pave the path for your own family. It may take some time for others to get used to the change, but it’s worth sticking to what you feel like is right for you and your family.
Think and research for yourself it’s an exciting time. So truly take on the role of being a Mom. Really take on this role and take in this new phase of life. You are the parent and you make the decisions for your kids, not the outside options. Again, do what gives you peace, always.
Finding what feels right for you
I’ve found the more I get to see into other’s lives I get to see things that I want to implement, things I want to be intentional to not have my life look like, or it opens me up to new concepts that I have never even thought about.
I have learned far more from just watching, reading, and observing other’s experiences than I have when I am reading about something that I “should” or “need” to be doing. There are sooo many opinions being written or said as fact and that is not what moms need.
There are sooo many good ways to be doing pretty much anything, especially in motherhood and the way you decide to do something should be decided by you. So educate yourself, and make informed decisions on all the different topics you’d like because you are what is best for your family, not all the other voice’s opinions on what is best for your family.
You know what will work for you. Don’t be afraid to try things, and pivot if it isn’t working out for your family. You won’t know until you try!
My goal for talking about motherhood…
Is not to educate but to show what I’ve done to give you a peak into someone else’s life. So that you are able to get your gears turning and start asking questions about what you want in your life and for you and your family.
My hope is you get some ideas on what to research, see new concepts you have not heard of or thought about before, or that you are able to see things you like or don’t like or want for your life. We all live different lives and want different things. That’s a beautiful thing.
I am excited to start this new category on my blog and I hope it helps you see another perspective 🙂
