Can you have it all?


Yes you can have it all as a mother! I myself am a graduate student, mother of toddler, budding entreprenuer, educator, and with support I run the household. Those are the base titles/obligations. I ensure that our toddler is involved in extracurricular and active actities. How can a mother have it all???? I have compiled a list of tools/acessories that have been helpful to me: 1- support group 2-belief and trust in a higher power (God for me) 3-following a life coach 4-making to do lists and actually using it 6-setting both long term and short term goals 7-imaginig the BIG picture when little irritants occur 8-having values that I live by C-creating a priority list to check major decisions and choices against 9-putting myself first 10-not being afraid to start over,redo,remix,or take a risk 11-being willing to take the long route 12-utilizing a piggy bank and empty pop cans 13-acessing everything that is free 14-prayer and meditation 15-recognizing the value in a good cry or vent session 16- looking through "worth lenses"/seeing situations and circumstances for what they are worth 17-counting MY blessings 18-acknowledging the "better and worse" theory...someone will always be better off than you and someone is always doing way worse than you so live by your own scale.
utilize any one or combination of these tools and I'm positive you will begin having it all in your life as a mother! Get started on one now.
