I wake up everyday, with the best intentions, to be positive, to make time to be creative with my girls and to be more mindful in all that I do. But then life kicks in and the plans that I have made, don't always work out the way that I imagined they would. Life is complex and full of contradictions.
As a parent, we often place a lot of expectations on ourselves, to be present, to be a guide and to provide for our children. I really feel the pressure sometimes, as a single parent, trying to fill all of these roles. I want the best for my girls and there are times that I stretch myself thin.
I don't want to get annoyed and be spilling out irritation, and impatience. as some things never get done or take way to long to happen. I'm sure we all get frustrated, it's a pretty natural reaction to experience as a parent. I crave more balance and mindfulness in those moments, allowing me to tap into my inner reserve of power and to focus that energy on being more grateful for all that I have in life.
It is so easy to get carried away in the moment, to forget to breathe and to take stock. To stop that inner dialogue, that pushes me to do better and to be better. instead, I need to remember that I am already complete and whole. I can let those thoughts flow, I just have to choose not to follow them.
We are mostly geared towards embracing our positive thoughts and emotions. Holding on to the joy and contentment that we experience in motherhood, pushing away the anger and self doubt that we also experience. This causes a lot of internal conflict within, as we deny a part of who we are.
We gain so much power, when we find our strength and begin to acknowledge and embrace the dual sides of ourselves. Allowing us to let go of any sense of limitation.
I have been working on letting go of old habits, of the many patterns of conditioning that I grew up with. To shake off that which no longer serves me. Because all of those things, hold me back and prevent me from creating new possibilities. As I gain more awareness and understanding, I can see how much I have grown. How I can now tap into that inner stillness, more easily, don't get me wrong it is not always easy, but knowing that it is there is sometimes all that I need. Trusting in my inner strength.
Being able to to connect with my intuition,that which connects me with my heart wisdom. To be more compassionate and creative. I need to take the time to close my eyes and breathe deeply, opening my heart and allowing it to guide me. Taking time to slow down and observe all the beauty that surrounds me. I love getting to see the world anew, through the eyes of my children. To watch them interact with nature and see the wonder and excitement in their eyes.
Being able to recognize the magic that flows in life and tapping into that magic is what enables us to be mindful. To find our breathe, to slow down and be present, to open our heart's energy, allows us to embrace and love our imperfections. So that we can live a more balanced life and connect with our creative flow!

What beautiful words. I admire you so much for your work as a mother that there are no words that can describe that admiration. The inner strength that you have and at the same time, the love that you express is so immeasurable. I don't know your girls but I'm sure the happiness they must feel for being your daughters must be immense. Everything you do to maintain that balance and vibrate in that line of peace is wonderful. 🌼
Thank you so much, I am really touched by your words, they mean a lot to me xxxx
You are so fiercely a mother of human children and the very world itself. Love you, and here's to being consciously mindful and grateful as a first reaction not a last one
Thank you beautiful xxxxx
We share that feeling, when life comes into action and changes all the plans, and we end up on routes to other destinations, which also have their own charm .... but in the end, they are not the ones we planned...
I was encouraged to ask how I can contribute to the abundance.tribe community, since my last 2 posts have been in that stream of community topics and I would like to be recommended and my message can reach more people, I would appreciate a word of guidance and be able to reach a new port with my positive message.
That is a great realization to come to to embrace the dual sides of ourselves neither clinging to one part or pushing away another.
Mindfulness makes for a much more peaceful existence and the ability to enjoy more of the moment .
I love seeing your growth and that you share that to inspire others!
It does indeed make for a much more peaceful experience, thank you @porters xxxxx
