There is no way to be a perfect mother, and a million ways to be a good one

You’re a real woman, with perfect imperfections. It's our shadows that make us fascinating and complex.
Act without expectation

The one source of most of the frustration that arises is expecting that our experiences or circumstances should be a particular way. Have you noticed you can actually cause more personal suffering by placing pressure on a situation and trying to control the outcome? This is so common for us mums who often strive for the ideal and have a tendency to place such high expectations on ourselves. Slowly, but surely we’ve come to realise though, it’s possible to find a certain sense of stability and peace no matter what our circumstances are. You don’t need to make yourself happy about it, or even okay with it! You just need to settle into it and relax the struggle by accepting your experience exactly as it is.

Only this in this moment

Whether it be changing a nappy, getting up to your little one in the night, or worrying about something you can’t control… try and repeat to yourself “only this, in this moment.”

Name it to tame it

Name it to tame it. Start with noticing what you’re carrying right now and simply become aware. You can’t change what you don’t notice, so acknowledge what’s going on for you in this moment.
The power of the pause

Instead of completely stopping everything you’re doing, try to ease down to a momentary pause in between each of your activities. All you need is a few seconds to check in with your senses and gain more control in the present moment.

This too shall pass
Cut the comparisons

If you don’t look after your body, where are you going to live?
Take care of the most important person in your child’s life
