Is mama happy? (DW#670)
When my children were growing up, I realised one thing: when I was not at my best, I could not show up and be present and emotionally available for my family. When I had a bad day or when I was tired or depleted, everyone in the house felt the impact. (Sorry guys!)
Self-care and emotional healing, became for me, a valuable parenting strategy. A way to make sure that I took care of myself so that my state of (or lack of) wellbeing did not adversely impact my loved ones.
So remember this: as a parent, it is vital that you take care of yourself and manage your own stuff so that you show up as your best self for your family.
When mama (or papa) is not happy, no one is happy.
