As mothers, we feel this enormous pressure to be everything all the time, all at once.
We feel like we have to make all the appointments, play all the games, clean the entire house, take kids to all the activities, do all the household tasks, and anything else that may come our way involving our children and home.
As mothers, we feel this enormous pressure to be everything all the time, all at once.
We feel like the weight of the world is on our shoulders constantly. We’re holding a large backpack with every “to do” item stuck inside. We are the meal makers, the party planners, the ones who remember to respond to birthday party invites, and weddings. All of these tasks add up and weigh us down.
As mothers, we feel this enormous pressure to be everything all the time, all at once.
It’s draining, but we do it because we feel like we can’t let anyone else take our place. We feel like no one else can do what we do like we do it. And we’re not wrong, but we don’t need anyone else to do what we do like we do it. We do, however, need someone to take away some of the tasks. We need it as a form of self care. We need to let go a little bit… empty the bag with some of those to do lists. We need to lighten the load.
As mothers, we feel this enormous pressure to be everything all the time, all at once.
So, if you happen to find a way to release some of that heavy load you carry upon your back. Do it! It’ll be OK. You don’t have to carry the world to be a good mom. Let the weight be lifted. You’ll be a better mom because of it. You’ll be a better wife because of it. But, most of all, you’ll be a better YOU because of it.
