The Happy Mommy Place

Off lately i've been hearing a lot about SELF -CARE and I think the pandemic gave us a lot of realisations and opportunity to indulge into the importance of Self - Care. But what exactly is SELF CARE? In the words of Robin Sharma The single best way to amplify self-love is to take better care of yourself. Often, we are our greatest abusers. And when we increase the caring of our selves, we begin to sense the secret glory that rests at our base. And come to know all that we truly are. You can grow in your self-care by: ...resting when you’re tired and enjoying life when it’s time. ...eating foods that nourish your spirit and upgrade your health. ...appreciating yourself for how far you’ve come and the person you now are versus always feeling like there’s more to do. ...not comparing your path and progress to anyone else’s. Because you’re precisely where you need to be. ...setting clear boundaries so no one ever disrespects you. Ever again. ...giving yourself permission to re-engage ...

Have you ever tried answering  " How Good is Good enough? Or How much is praise worthy" And agless question and which never seemes to have been answered and presumably will never have an answer for sure. The other day at one of our meetings one of the speaker said : " the greatest quality of a leader is the ability to praise" and that is  a place where I know 90% of the time it's a false praise. My question to you is do we really need these praises? What is this whole game of approval and praises.. It all started from when are children are young and they start doing things because they want our approval and acknowledgement, to the growing pandemic of the number of like and views and followers on social media to the approval of our spouses on everything I cook everything I do then the approval of my children as a mother and viscious circle continues. Living to please others is no living at all because you will never be able to please What if we have the ability t...

Whenever we are in discussions and I hear any mom speak I could hear her say and wonder:  “When is somebody going to do something about that?” I would like you to wake up from your trance and realize that, in fact, “you are that somebody.” And not just anybody, but that somebody that you have been waiting for your whole life.  In order to be perfect you have  Waited for large years of your life to arrive at the  the imaginary starting line. Many of us find ourselves waiting for the life that we want for ourselves and those we love to just show up. We spend a lot of time trying to “fix” ourselves so that we can feel worthy or be ready to show up fully in our own lives and in this world. The fact that we are broken and not complete makes it a beautiful thing.Because broken people are equipped to help, broken people can fix other people. I am broken, your are broken and thats beautiful coz then we all have the pieces to fix eachother. We have the choice of getting bitte...

As Rumi states: " The wound is the place where the light enters you, it's through these wounds or cracks - which often want to hide because you've been taught or told to be ashamed of them- That your lights escapes into the world and helps other people feel seen heard and understood." What If you acknowledge yourself and learn to be the best version of yourself, - The best version of you is yours to create!!! And by learning what your best is, you can in turn more lovingly support others and make a profound difference in the world. What is the best version of yourself? Best doesn't mean Perfect . Thats too much to expect, Living perfect lives in perfect ways is not realistic or achievable. If you wait until you're perfect or ready, you'll be waiting forever Because Noone is perfect - who you are today is more than good enough.. Very often as moms we are stuck in "Failure to Launch" mode, frozen as we wait for our life to reach the right ratio o...
