You Do Not Need To Be A Super Mom!

As a mom the feeling of being overwhelmed by the mess, the noise and the constant demands can be a lot.

It’s easy to get caught up in the whirlwind of life and feel like you’re losing control. But here’s the thing, chaos is a natural part of motherhood. You cannot run away from it. It’s a sign that you’re living a full life, that your household is buzzing, especially if your children are still young. Embracing the unexpected twists and turns that come along with it is just one part of it.

When it happens, do not fight it. I think we are quick to fight against chaos and think everything needs to be orderly and it needs to be a certain way. But by doing that, you’re only over- exerting yourself. And making it hard. So today, instead of fighting against the chaos, I encourage you to learn to embrace it. And below are a few ways we can do that.

You Are Not Super Woman

You can start by lowering expectations. So, nobody has a clean house. I know going into it, I thought I could but once you have children, obviously, when the child is still young, you’re healing from birth and that hinders the perfect house. And as the children grow older, they’re more energetic, they’re moving things, jumping on things. And you, as a person, your instinct is to keep everything neat and tidy.It’s not going to be like that when you have kids in the house.

Focus On The Positive

Number two, I would say focus on the positive, so enjoy your child’s energy instead of trying to keep them boxed and in a corner, enjoy their hugs, enjoy the love that surrounds you in this full place, full household, rather doing the opposite.

Embrace The Unexpected

Number three, I’d say embrace the unexpected as well. Don’t get too attached to a schedule. Yes, have one because it helps, but when things don’t go according to that, or when you tick off less things than what has actually been done, it’s still okay.

Do Not Pour From An Empty Cup

And lastly, take care of yourself. Oh my gosh, this I think is one of the most important things you can do as a mother. You cannot pour from an empty cup. And I’m sure you’ve heard this time and time again. You need to take care of yourself so that you can be present in your family from a place of love, not a place of frustration or negative energy.

As a reminder, I just want you to remember that you are doing an amazing job. Do not let the chaos get you down. Embrace the mess, and the noise, and the laughter, and the love. You are strong, you are capable, and loved by God beyond measure.
