Do you ever feel guilty doing things for yourself?
As single moms, our everyday journey is extremely important because it requires us to stay bold and optimistic.
Sometimes society sees us as only:
- Surviving
- Struggling
- Undateble
- Irresponsible
But, that doesn’t mean we have to live by those misguided views.
We have the power to change the narrative.
Take Your Goals Off Hold
What were your goals before you became a mom? How was the outcome? Or do you have your goals on hold until you have time?
I used to think I was a huge procrastinator. Or think that I couldn’t add anything more to my busy life.
In reality I was avoiding taking care of my overall well-being. I started to believe that wellness only meant eating right and staying fit. I also believed that putting my kids first meant I was doing everything the right way. But I had it all wrong.
Not Everyday is Going to Be the Same
Have you ever felt like some days you have it all together?
While other days can feel like the smallest things will set you off?
We are doing the best that we can, especially as one person who takes on a lot of responsibility.
On top of raising kids by ourselves, we may also deal with:
- complicated or even toxic relationships
- Lack of childcare and resources
- Underpaid positions and
- Unwelcomed opinions and judgments
As single moms, we often give more than we receive. So reversing my decision on putting my kids first was far from slacking off on my parenting duties. Instead, I focused on what makes me honest, healthy, and whole.
Making the Impossible Happen
I accomplished my “when I have the time” goals because nothing is impossible. But I didn’t do it all at once. I had to learn how to find balance and even compromise to get where I wanted.
So overtime I:
- Learned how to build healthy relationships
- Bought my first home
- Earned my college degree
- Started a small business, but most of all
- I focused on improving my overall well being
The best part about following the bold boss mom journey is having my kids see me transform into the person I want to be.
