One of the hardest things for many parents is creating time for themselves or doing something for themselves. Imagine a moment where you are not concerned about your spouse, your children, your dinner preparations, cleaning and this list is endless. Imagine having a space of stillness and solitude as an individual. We do many things with great responsibility, with sense of pride and seriousness but when it comes to doing something for ourselves, many parents feel guilty and undeserving.
More you do things for others, more you fix your attention outside of yourself, more you are disconnecting from yourself, from your intuition. Biggest challenge of a mother is to give her attention to herself. She gives selflessly to others, she compromises herself, she worries and fears for the future, she thinks about laundry and dinner, she thinks about school systems and which one is the best for her precious ones and she forgets about herself.
Solution? How do we change the pattern? Imagine creating a time and space for you only. Walk away from your computer, turn off your phone, forget about your to do list. Imagine walking away from all responsibility and worry, imagine giving yourself your gentleness, imagine doing something for you only, imagine paying attention your body. As you start paying attention your body and its needs, as you learn to give your healing energy to yourself, you will find more capacity within to give, to find stillness and to be.
