Feeling like everthing is off, but you don't know why? Surviving to thriving... for moms

I promise there is a way out of survival mode.

Starting when you wake up, your feeling done with a day that's before it's started. Your feeling instantly crabby, and hangry. Moving throughout the day trying to frantically keep schedules, juggling others needs, appointments and wants. Then we head to sleep without rhythm or rhyme throughout the evening> Just wanting everyone go to bed to get some PEACE and QUIET.

That IS being in survival mode and the worst part about it is that you usually don’t know when you’re in it

I didn't get out of the survival mode alone and you don't need to do it alone either. There are progressions for each stage of motherhood, from new baby, to toddler, pre-school and grade school to high school and beyond. Are you looking for a way to connect the dots to get from surviving or thriving?

Some of us get stuck in who we think we're to be, but let's get past that.

Let's get past the impressing someone else and make progress for ourselves, from who we were, to who we became when we entered motherhood, and where we've been going since. I'm painfully aware that the first part of this will feel like the whole job for any mom. BUT you'll need to find an hour of quiet time. Where you can hear yourself think.

Next, close your eyes and dream big If you need to set a timer for this I'd say 15 min if you have limited time. Think about what did you always want to do or try? What did you dream of when you were little?

AFTER your timer goes off, write what you just thought about down. It can be bullet points or a written novel, that's totally up to you, but whatever you write down make sure it's your dreams, your wants. This is your 30K foot view of where you want to go, admitted to yourself and on paper. This exercise is amazing!

Step 2 is when you're out or on the phone, or even in your online groups/chats you can articulate your vision. Because once you can admit it to yourself, you can say it with confidence to others. And who doesn't love feeling that kind of confidence??

This is progress, these are the first steps to getting you on the track to what you want and to who you want to be
