RE: What is Self-improvement? A reflection based on my values

in Self Improvementlast year

Nicely written and its beneficial to read. My goal in life is to witness the joy of my mother and my kids. But somehow,numerous challenges have made it so hard to achieve. However, it is our desire and our efforts to obtain it that matter. It will undoubtedly take some time, but if we are persistent and work hard, everything will undoubtedly turn out for the best.

Parenthood is a whole another scope in the self-development path, I hope some goals related to parenthood will pop up in my list in the future but who knows. Stay strong for these challenging times!

Unfortunately, we don't have a manual or a school to be good parents. Although there is a lot of writing about parenthood, it's not as easy as ABC.

I am a mother and a father to my children because I am a single mother. It is not easy. There are many things that I have to deal with, including accusations and insults towards me because I had to leave my children with my parents to be taken care of because of my work and because I had to travel before.

This time I had the opportunity to be with them after almost 20 years of travelling and working. I also feel that when COVID-19 infected the whole world, it opened my eyes and taught me a lot of lessons that I want to approach more with my children and my family.

Our emotional and physical wellbeing are what really count. We must be in good physical and mental health in order to care for our children, or it will be challenging. I too had some mental illness and hypertension, and I do feel helpless when there is nothing I can do to help. But in order to become healthy, I need to regulate and alter a lot of aspects of my daily routine and nutrition.
