Single Mom…and so much more!

What is your relationship like with yourself?

As mothers, we spend a lot of time defining ourselves by our children, our friendships and our work. We forget who we are and the things that we like.

The first step to improving your relationship with yourself is to really examine your relationship with yourself. In order to be a great parent, you’ve got to put yourself first. I know this goes against everything that women think about motherhood. But, in order to be a great mom, you first need to be a great you. You can’t teach what you don’t know, and you can’t lead where you don’t go. How can you teach your child to be happy, healthy and whole when you’re broken, busted and disgusted? Your child will feed from your energy.

So, let’s put mom first for a moment:

How did it feel to think about yourself? Did you feel guilty or sad because you believe that a mom should never put herself first? Did you feel excited because you’ve put yourself last for so long? Share your thoughts in the comments.
