Farm Moms and The Comparison Game

“I think it’s good to review every once in a while and make sure that the daily routine that we have matches up with our priorities and how we actually want to spend our time on a day to day basis.”  For this week’s episode, I switched things up a bit and am flying solo. Seeing lots of moms, ranch moms, farm moms, etc. on social media, it’s hard not to compare their life to yours, and that comparison is something I wanted to talk about. While I don’t think it is fair to you to compare yourself to another mom on social media because we don’t get to see the behind-the-scenes to her life, comparison can be beneficial in a different way. Being able to hear someone else’s story and how they tackle everyday challenges gives you an opportunity to potentially try something new or see a new way to handle an obstacle. I hope listening to my typical daily routine gives you an opportunity to try something new or I would love to hear from you if you have any suggestions for me!    At a glance:  It’s ok to compare, just not your everyday with someone else’s highlight reel. My everyday routine as a farm mom to a young family and as a business owner. Focusing on the big priority items and keeping my inner dialog in check.  You may also enjoy… #8 Shifting Seasons in Motherhood and Ranching with Richelle Barrett #9 Comparing our Capacity as Farm Moms #28 Behind the Scenes of Ranch Mom Life & Ag Homeschooling with Lindsey Huseman   About the Host of Farming on Purpose, Lexi Wright:  I’m your host, Lexi Wright.
