How to I want to be a good Mom, wife and perhaps someday....grandmother
It made me 
"Giving and sharing the parts of myself that nurture others while not giving all of me away and having nothing left for myself."
How I did it: Decide and believe that:
1 you are important too.
2 That you matter
3 you deserve to be cared for too, especially by you.
Take care of you.
1) go to bed 15-30 minutes earlier so you can get up earlier and have that time to begin your day. Eat - pray - meditate - exercise - love yourself
2) you can't do everything and somethings CAN wait till later.
Lessons & tips: Perfect does not exist.
Expectations must be clear - definite - and real, If involving another person must be mutually agreed on otherwise it's self defeating.
NOTHING in life is good or bad, it's what we decide to see or our own judgments and opinions that make things good or bad.
What filter are you using to see your world through?
- Encourage your spouse, compliment, touch, and look at lovingly everyday. 5 minutes at the beginning of the day and 5 before the end.
- Look for things to praise your children at, change your language from don't do that, to please do this.
- Take a deep breath, count to 3 before you speak, especially when angry or frustrated.
- what will motivate one child, will not the other. Find an interest to channel.
- Children do not have to have something just because they want it, whether you can afford to provide it or not.
Resources:
- Understanding the value of me.
- aside from knowing But USING the word "NO," AND not feeling guilty afterward.
- not committing to something I think I can do, knowing deep down I can't. (setting myself up for failure)
- giving myself permission to .... BE ME.
