Be Nice to Yourself and Be A Better Mother


Last week I had a guest post up at A Delightful Home for the Becoming a Better Mother series.  I've really enjoyed that series and was thrilled to be able to participate in it as well.  

Reading the Becoming a Better Mother posts have been so inspiring and motivating to me.  If you're not following it, I strongly recommend going to back and reading through the older posts in the series.  They are excellent!  And while you're at it, go ahead and subscribe to A Delightful Home so you don't miss out on any of the new posts.  The series is that good!!  And I think you'll really enjoy the rest of the blog too.  :)

From the post:
I had an experience not too long ago when I found myself going through the day with an almost continuous dialog in my head about my value as a mother and homemaker.  And it wasn’t nice!  My thoughts were increasingly negative and I was starting to feel really badly about myself and my abilities.
Pretty soon I realized – gratefully – that I wouldn’t talk to anyone else that way, why was I talking to myself like that? I was able to snap out of it and tell myself that I was doing my best and my best was good enough.  It changed my entire mood and it ended up being a great day where I felt balanced in my responsibilities as a mother and as a homemaker.
