Stop believing the supermom myth! How to ditch the pervasive superwoman mindset when you're working from home

Time for some #realmom talk: Do you ever feel like you’re stuck in a superhero movie? You know, one where all the cards are stacked against you, and your powers just aren’t materializing? You’re supposed to be this wonderful, amazing mom – have a great house – be out with friends regularly – get fit and stay fit – have a hobby (to stay interesting) – eat healthy (whatever the latest trend for that is) – have a career/passion project for personal fulfillment – and oh yes, be an awesome wife. And then, somehow, life doesn’t work out that way.·        Babies come with blowouts and spit-ups and three-times-a-night feedings.·        Toddlers constantly need sippy cup refills, restraint from hitting and throwing, and feeding time clean-up.·        Older kids require character parenting plus a whole slew of “no, math is not stupid” and “yes, you have to pick up your room” reinforcements. You’re like: “I’m sorry, I think I’m more interested in trying to finish that cup of coffee than brainstorming what personal passion project I should go for and whether I’ve given my husband five loving touches today!” That’s today’s motherhood. But: it’s all a myth – and you don’t have to stay there. What you’ll learn:·        No one is superwoman IRL·        Sometimes you just need a break·        It’s all about forward progress  You’re getting there. There is a difference. It’s all small stuff, but three dozen daily tweaks over two months and you’ll have a much different experience of motherhood. Give yourself a 30-day challenge: what expectation, chore, or routine am I going to change today to make my life better? And then see where you’re at on Day 31. Go on – it’s going to be amazing. Stop playing superwoman, try one thing at a time, and watch your life explode. (In a good way, of course.) You’ve got this!Alyssa Episode transcript: https://yourunbusylife.com/ditch-the-superwoman-mindset/Routines for introverted moms: https://yourunbusylife.com/ Need to right-size your to-do list and stop stressing out about your day?Book your free Work/Life Balance session: https://yourunbusylife.com/free-call/ Hosted on Acast.
