Motherhood sometimes makes us feel like we are walking a tightrope, balancing on a precipice.
TIPS TO BE A BETTER MOM
Being a mom is a very intense experience. Every day, practically since you find out that you are pregnant and during various stages of life, you will ask yourself this question: how can I be a better mom?
These aspects can help you to be so without dying in the attempt…
- Understand that we all make mistakes. This does not mean that you are negligent, but that you are simply human.
- Trust yourself, your values and the skills you have developed. Be sure that although being a mother is something new for you, you will be able to solve the situations you face, always in a successful way.
- Avoid comparing yourself, whether it is with your neighbor, your mom, your sister or with any Facebook contact, do not rate your efforts based on what someone else does. Social networks are full of images of “perfect moms”, who have downloaded of weight immediately after giving birth, that they have no parenting problems and that they are always smiling. Do not get carried away by this screen that could hide some conflict.
- Don’t push yourself more than you can, nobody was born knowing, unfortunately, on many occasions society demands too much of us. The idea is to relax in the midst of storms, give yourself a break and offer the best of yourself, something that you will not achieve if you are measuring yourself or judging yourself at every moment.
- Allow yourself to cry or feel angry. Let each thing take its course giving your best but without wanting perfection, without pretending that things are resolved once and for all or having the answer for everything.
- Accept problems as challenges and thus you will achieve emotional balance.
TIP FOR MENTAL HEALTH
Sometimes we forget that we all make mistakes and that we seek perfection, which can lead to imbalance and make us feel very bad. Perfection does not exist, we can only try to be better every day and meet the needs of our children in the best possible way.
Close your eyes and breathe, you have the strength to get ahead and always be a better mom.
