Setting Boundaries & Saying No Are Key to A Happy and Healthy Mom Life
Learning how to set boundaries and say no can prioritize a mother's self-care and mental health.
Hey Mama, you're doing an amazing job! For the sake of your health, I wanted to remind you that sometimes, saying no is just as important as saying yes.
Here are some things you can say no to...to care for your mental health (because mothering yourself is JUST as important!)
-
Guilt trips: Your kids might try to guilt you into doing things you don't want to do. Don't fall for it! Remember, you're in charge!
-
Overcommitting: Saying yes to everything might seem like the right thing to do, but it can lead to burnout and stress. It's more than okay to prioritize your own well-being. In fact, it's a mental imperative.
-
Negative self-talk: Is that inner critic getting the best of you? Remind yourself that you're doing the best you can, and that's all that matters.
-
Comparing yourself to other moms: We all have different parenting styles, and that's okay! Comparing yourself to others will only make you feel bad about yourself.
-
Unrealistic expectations: Don't put too much pressure on yourself to be perfect. Remember that progress, not perfection, is what matters.
Remember momma, saying no doesn't make you a bad mom. In fact, it's a sign of strength and self-care. So give yourself permission to set boundaries and prioritize your own well-being. Remember, you're in charge AND...You've got this!
Your friend and fellow momma,
