Happy mothers day to all of you mothers out there (I’m not sure if Australia’s the only country celebrating this today, but happy mothers day anyway!)! A little over 13 years ago I became a mother myself for the first time, and I distinctly remember feeling an amazing sense of unconditional love, for the first time in my entire life.
It was unlike anything I had ever experienced it all, and was so intense that I worried that when my second beautiful angel was born, that I wouldn’t love her as much.
But the moment I laid eyes on her, I experienced that same intense love all over again.
Even though I’ve had my challenges over the years, and although I have a lot of my focus on my career, business and relationships, being a mother to me has been (and probably always will be) the most important aspect of my life. My children come first above all else. But I still make time for me!
Being a mother is hard work, and it’s important you have time for yourself sometimes. We often get caught up in all of the other aspects of our life, and forget that we need looking after too.
So if you’re on a mission to lose some weight for example, but you rarely have time to exercise, then today is the day that you schedule half an hour, three times a week to exercise – just as you would an appointment at the doctor. If you made that appointment you’d show up right? So treat your exercise regime the same way. Book it in!
If your relationship with your significant other needs some work, book him in for a “date”. Spend some time alone together. Once you have children, this aspect of relationships often stops happening and things get dull. Spice things up a little!
If there’s something you’ve always wanted to do, such as attend a Zumba class, hike up a local mountain, write your first novel or even jump out of a plane, choose today as the day in which you start planning this activity. Set a date, find out the costs, work out how you’ll pay for it (if needed) or what you’ll need to get started. And START!
If you’ve been wanting to return to work, change your career, or improve your skills, start looking at the job ads, update your resume, look into courses, see if your employer will pay for some additional study for you.
Choose today as the day in which you make at least one small improvement to your life! That’s the first step towards living a life worth living! 🙂
