How can I be a good mother? 6 Most Important Things To Stay Happy

 

There is always room for improvement when it comes to being a good mother.

The responsibilities of being a mother can be all encompassing and often we can doubt ourselves, and our ability to do it all in the home, at work, and with the kids.

That can really negatively affect our entire life spreading into our family and children.

Mothers are the glue of the family and this glue must stick nicely.

With an improved mindset, all of the tasks you need to accomplish can become easier and you can improve your confidence in accomplishing them.

It does take work to develop healthy habits but with a little dedication, you can improve your life and self-esteem.

All mothers can experience a happier and more confident motherhood with a new mindset.

A growth mindset allows people to overcome challenges instead of succumbing to them.

Ideally, these behaviors and thoughts are developed in childhood.

When you become better a person, so do your kids.

These 6 amazing habits will help you to improve your mindset and can truly change your life.

Taking care of yourself and your emotional health needs to be a priority for all moms.

1 Ask Yourself Why

We often don’t take the time to be introspective with our feelings and ask ourselves why we feel the way we do. When something is bothering you or you’re feeling upset, stop yourself in the moment and ask yourself why.

Why are you upset?

What really caused these feelings?

Question why a certain situation has gotten under your skin and find the root cause.

It is important figuring out what is bothering you in order to improve your mindset.

2 Talk Yourself Up

Negative thinking is one of the biggest reasons we doubt ourselves as moms and have low self-esteem.

Talk yourself up like you’re talking to your best friend.

Believe in yourself because if you don’t it doesn’t matter who does.

Parents shares how modeling this confidence will be beneficial for your child.

A growth mindset means that you must change the way you think.

If you ever talk down to yourself or have a voice in your head telling you that you can’t do it, silence it.

Be your own biggest cheerleader.

No matter what anyone tells you, you won’t feel confident and successful until you believe in yourself.

3 Prioritize Sleep

We can’t stress enough how important it is to get good sleep. Quality sleep can change your life and if you’re currently not getting the recommended 6-8 hours of sleep a night, fix that. Get to bed just an hour earlier each night and you will see a difference in your mood. When you’re well-rested, you’re more likely to stay calm and not overreact to any stressful situations.

Developing a growth mindset will be easier if you’ve had enough sleep and have the clarity of mind for daily self-reflection.

4 Don’t Take It Personally

There will be days when you as the mom take the brunt of it all. It will be your fault their homework was lost.

A child will cry for mother to find their beloved toy.

All too often your kids will act out with you and appear to take out their stress on you.

Try your best to not be emotionally affected or angry about it.

They do that for a special reason.

As the mom, you are the safe space.

Your child is upset with you because they feel comfortable with you.

Never take a child’s behavior towards you personally.

Just like adults, children have bad days as well.

And yes, your kids will take it out on the people they love the most.

5 Grow As Your Children Do

As moms, one of the most difficult things is watching our children grow and adapt to the new stages of life.

We love certain phases and when they’re super small.

Of course, children are special at every age but we can’t lie that some ages and stages are easier than others.

It can be hard to let go or even see our children grow in ways we never expected.

With an improved mindset, you’ll easier adapt.

As a mom, you need to adapt to your child’s growth or you may miss out.

Help your child grow and grow with them.

6 Practice Kindness

Spend your days being nicer to yourself.

By now, you know that an improved mindset involves positive thinking.

An important aspect of that is to be kinder to yourself.

If you make a mistake, don’t beat yourself up.

Don’t criticize your appearance.

Don’t be an enemy to yourself.

Practice kindness to others and know how great it feels to spread happiness.

Your mental health will greatly improve when you believe in yourself and feel kindness from within.
