"Surviving is important. Thriving is elegant." --Maya Angelou
When we become moms we are sure that we’ve got this. And quickly realize that we don’t got this! Every ounce of our being goes into keeping that little human alive, happy, and protected and as a result, we shift into survival mode for ourselves. Showering occasionally and eating the scraps left on their high chairs becomes normal, along with the thought that tomorrow will be different and that becomes our mantra. Next thing you know you are 6,000+ tomorrows later and you are still just surviving…and still sure that tomorrow will be better than today. But nothing is going to change until we see what “just surviving” is costing us, so that we can see why doing the hard work to focus on ourselves is not a nice to have. It’s imperative.
