How’s your day treating you? Have you taken a moment to breathe? Have you found some time for yourself? Are you feeling a bit worn out? I see you, Mama.
As you navigate through the mountains of laundry, the stacks of bills, and the inevitable messes that come with motherhood, pause for a moment. Take a deep breath. This too shall pass, and believe it or not, you will miss these chaotic times.
Finding Humor in the Chaos
When you’re at your breaking point, trying to figure out what to feed the kids, remember to laugh it off. They won’t starve. They won’t even notice that your cooking skills might not be Michelin-star worthy. In fact, they’ll grow up to recount tales of your “famous” pork chop dish and how your vegetables were always a bit too soft. And they’ll chuckle while you just shake your head and say, “Just wait until you try cooking for a family!” Oh, yes, one day they will see.
Moments of Panic
When you find yourself rushing to the car with a child who’s had a little accident, take a moment to steady yourself. Everything will be okay. You were built for these moments of panic and worry. Motherhood has prepared you for this. Don’t you realize yet how incredible you are? You’re a fierce warrior, a goddess in disguise. Oh, yes, you truly are.
You Are Not Alone
On those days when life feels particularly overwhelming, and you feel invisible and alone, remember you are not. You are part of a vast community of mothers who are sending love and support your way, no matter how far apart you are. Can you feel it? We are all standing with you.
Keeping Your Cool
In the midst of the chaos—kids bouncing off the walls, one crying, another complaining—keep your cool. Don’t lose your temper; it won’t do you any good later. Instead, calmly assert your authority. Your children know your limits; they recognize when you’ve had enough.
The Grocery Challenge
When you’re carrying in several bags of groceries from the car and your arms are aching, just know that there’s no one else who can do what you can do. You’re remarkable, and it’s not just about strength; it’s about getting things done without making multiple trips. No one else in your family can manage that feat like you can.
Resilience in Relationships
When you feel overwhelmed by resentment and find yourself at odds with your partner, understand that this moment will pass. It’s a challenge that builds your resilience and shapes your commitment—not just to them, but to yourself. They will remember your strength and how you always managed to push through.
You Are Phenomenal
Why, Mama? Because you are phenomenal. You are beautiful in your imperfections, authentically real. You embrace the messy, the chaotic, the beautiful chaos of love. You are a true and legendary queen, a mother like no other.
Now go ahead, treat yourself to a little something. You deserve it.
