Stay ConnectedListen for coaching on how to care for yourself while mothering. You ARE the right mom for your kids. Motherhood is too important to do alone and too serious to be so serious all the time. You deserve self-care that isn’t hygiene every day. You are a world changer. I am so glad you’re here on Earth.
The podcast is by Christy Thomas

Mario Kart, Animal Crossing, Bop It!, Connect 4, King Domino, Cup Stack, Tenzi, Pie Face, Rockem' Sockem' Robots.

How do you reset and show yourself kindness after moments that explode with joy?
Use the anchor question: "What do you need?"
1) Brain Dump
2) What does my heart need?
3) What does my mind need?
4) What work do my hands need to do?
5) Where is the joy of the day?
"Trust Your Body. Be kind to yourself. You are enough just as you are right now. Your joy matters. Please tell everyone you know."

Today's Show Notes:
Self-Compassion as taught by Dr. Kristin Neff has three parts.
1) Shared Humanity
2) Mindfullness
3) Self-Kindness
Editing Fact Check Correction: A typical toddler may fall from 15-20 times per hour depending on their skill level and age.
Toddlers fall often when they are learning to walk, they keep trying. They watch the models around them & know that's what they need to do next.
When learning self-compassion, keep trying. Look for models that help you learn a new way if you didn't see this growing up.
Self-Care: Lie on the floor for one minute and ask yourself what you need. Bonus challenge-- lie on the floor next to a wall and let your feet rest on the wall.
Family Fun: Tell the shared stories of Octobers passed. Funny moments, first moments, scary moments. Stories connect us and help your kids know that they are wanted and valued in your family.
You are exactly the right mom for your kids. I am so glad to know you.
