We did it. We made it through another year of raising humans. It’s the beginning of January, and we have a beautiful, deliciously blank slate ahead of us.
So . . . now what?
I say we declare our intentions for this year. Here’s my mom life manifesto for 2022:
- I give myself permission to put my needs first.
- I choose to make time for self preservation every day.
- I choose to pursue my biggest, hairiest, most audacious goals and dreams.
- I understand that I must take care of myself to be able to take care of my children and my family.
- I allow myself to try new things, and choose to take the first step because I know the next step will reveal itself.
- I refuse to be sidelined by mom guilt.
- I give myself permission to say no to people and things that do not serve me.
- I choose not to compare myself to other moms.
- I choose to surround myself with people who are encouraging, supportive and hold me accountable.
- I give myself permission to let go of perfectionism.
- I choose to create harmony over balance.
- I choose to focus on quality instead of quantity when I spend time with my children.
- I allow myself to experience my emotions.
- I allow myself to fall down, and I choose to get back up and keep going.
- I give myself permission to ask others for help.
- I choose to speak to myself the way I would speak to someone I love.
- I believe that to love others more fully, I must first and foremost love myself.
Today, I’m encouraging you to adopt your own mom life manifesto. Or, if you like mine, CLICK HERE to print it out and put it somewhere you’ll see it every day.
