MOTHERHOOD YOUR WAY
One of the most quoted feelings from mothers - no matter who they are or what choices they have made in life - is guilt. Much of it is caused by the myths surrounding motherhood that we buy into.
Here are just a few that come up during Vibrant Motherhood events:
My children always have to come first
Children need to be living with two parents
It's my job to keep my children safe
Motherhood is a job - another role we take on
It's my duty to teach my children what is right
If I'm not conforming to what society expects I'm an irresponsible mother
Who my children are reflects my mothering
I have to be fair and treat all my children the same
All of these - and the myriad more you'll be thinking of - are just beliefs and rules that someone made up once. And they are a large part of the reason so many mothers feel overwhelmed with trying to juggle everything that's expected of them.
The secret to Vibrant Motherhood is to let yourself off the hook - let all the guilt go and put all the myths to one side. Then you have a beautiful clear space to discover, with your children, what works for you all. Each child is unique, as are you, so you will all have different needs.
The excitement and adventure of motherhood is to create a way of being together that empowers and inspires you all.
