Sometimes we can feel like we need to look outside of ourselves to see if we are measuring up in motherhood. Yet it doesn’t tell us anything. What the other moms are doing or not doing says nothing about you. They are not a reflection of your ability to parent or not.
Next time you are wanting to compare yourself to others, pause and think about what is coming up for you. Maybe you feel conflicted about something or you just experienced a tough parenting moment. After you identify what is beneath your insecurity, reach from within and figure out what you need to cope with your feelings. It might be giving yourself the space to figure out what you want to do with your kiddos. You may want to reach out for emotional support from a safe place or you can normalize your own feelings. These methods leave you feel better about yourself.
Remember:
Every mom struggles in motherhood

No big deal…just grow a human and then birth the human out of our bodies.
While there are many different ways to become a mother and none of them are easy. I wanted to highlight how hard pregnancy and birth are on women. It is not easy. I will continue to highlight all the ways we can enter into motherhood and the impact it has on our lives.
