MOTHERHOOD Truth Bombs
HAPPY NOVEMBER TO ALL!!! And while we are bound to hear those Christmas carols any day now, I still hold out on Christmas, as the month of November for me is all about BIRTHDAYS & NEW BEGINNINGS !!!
I always take November as a chance to talk a little less about Fitness and a little more about ME. WHY? Because November is my Birthday month ;) So it always leads me to reflect more on life & less on fitness. This past year was my first year, with my new job role as being a MUM and a title as being a WORKING MUM! Firstly I have no idea where the time has gone and how fast it flew by........but what a journey! MOTHERHOOD TRUTH BOMB ALERT......it can be the greatest love, messy, beautiful, overwhelming, emotional, so loving, tiring, stressful, fun and one of your biggest blessings! (oh and did I mention loving ?!?!?) But I have never experienced so many emotions at once (which for me being a sensitive soul can be demanding on both my body and my mental state)
That little self care that we as mums do manage to get....... take it any chance you get and DO NOT ride that guilt train for doing so. I've learnt that I definitely cannot pour from an empty cup and thus I am a much better person to my family when I do get that time out for myself! So I encourage you other mums to do the same. Motherhood is definitely a combination ride of the good, the bad and the ugly (when cleaning poop is a daily thing now, it has a little less yukky effect on me now hehe). But it's a ride that no one can prepare you for. We all adapt and handle the best way we can in our own unique ways. But it's nice to finally all come together with support instead of judgement! When your stuck at home with your little ones as they are sick or the weather isn't good, I still feel connected to my real mums on my Instagram mummy community. We learn from each others tips and kids activities, we share the realness of motherhood and the tough days, that way we all know we are not alone in this job and support each other with encouraging messages. So THANK YOU fellow mums for being there! I think society is finally letting out the honest truth and reality about motherhood. It is not as easy, squeaky clean and as organised as some make it out to be. So be careful who you spend time with, what you are reading and what you are looking at on social media. Mothers with dishes in their sink, bags under their eyes, messy hair and messy living room covered with toys...... YOU are my tribe!! As no matter what is thrown at us as mothers, we handle it with all our strength and very little sleep as it means the world to our children and we want to show them they can do anything they set their mind to! Saying that, this mamma is off to finish the preparations for my little one's 1 year old Birthday party. Yep it's not party planning for me anymore...... Contractions started on my Birthday last year and my little one was born the next day ;-) It was my last Birthday in the spot light bit definitely a Birthday I will never forget!!
