What Does It Mean To Be A Good Mom?
If you are a mom, congratulations! You have been given one of the most important, exciting and fulfilling roles by your creator in my eyes. However, I am sure at one point or another, in this social media checking era, you have compared yourself to others and wondered whether you are shortchanging your kid(s) in any way or whether you are doing a good job as a mother.
A good mom always strives to do her best in any given moment with her kids and also takes the time to learn, grow, improve, and practice self-care without any guilt. She is patient and ensures that her kid(s) are loved unconditionally, heard, understood, seen, accepted, and valued for who they are individually.
She teaches her kid(s) to live their authentic life, honouring their values, unique gifts, natural talents, purpose, and life vision and teaches them to trust and listen to their inner wisdom for guidance. She is always available to guide her kid(s) and at the same time trusts that she has given them tools to flourish on their own after a certain age.
So, you may be wondering, How can I not doubt my ability and be more confident as a mom? Let’s discuss that next.
How To Be More Confident As A Mom
Mothers have such an important role to fulfill and so many of us doubt and wonder and worry whether our kids will be fine. Here are a few tips for you to keep in mind and feel more confident as a mom as you raise your kid(s).
Know Who You Are
Learn to tap into your inner superpowers to feel more empowered and confident. You are a spiritual being having a temporary human experience. You are powerful, an infinite creative force, and your life has unlimited possibilities. There is nothing you can’t be, do, or have.
Learn to align with your creator, and listen to your inner guidance as you make decisions in life instead of doing what society or others tell you to do. You can choose to live life consciously and be fully present in every moment of your day and teach your kid(s) to do the same.
Remove judgement and resistance to what is happening. When you blame, justify, and explain, you negate your capabilities. Know that you matter and are here for a reason.
Discover what you enjoy doing, gives you joy, and add that into your schedule every day even if that means you wake up a little bit earlier. When you are happy, centred, and fulfilled, you will be a better and more confident mom and less likely to have an exaggerated reaction with your kid(s) and lose your temper.
Be Grateful
If you have been blessed with kid(s) then learn to be grateful. Appreciate and consider it a great honour that your creator believes in your ability, and has placed trust and responsibility on you to raise a kid(s). Remember not everyone on this earth has that same privilege of motherhood given to them.
Do your best based on your capability at any given moment. Know and trust that your kid(s) will be okay no matter what. Your kid(s) have come through you but are not your property.
They are not here to fulfill your purpose and dreams. A soul that is in your child’s body is temporarily here to grow and fulfill its purpose and has all the wisdom required within it to be able to fulfill its calling.
Your child’s soul may be older than your soul and here to help your soul grow even though you are the parent and may feel that you are here to teach your child. A parent-child relationship is between equal souls. Be open to teaching, guiding your kid(s), and learning from them too.
Awaken And Raise Your Vibration
Take some time for self-care so you can be a better person and mother. Raise your energy and vibration by aligning with and living the values of your soul which are love, peace, joy, compassion, and abundance and having a relationship with your creator. Start a daily morning practice of prayers, and meditation, and connect to your creator.
You are strong and always have access to your creator’s strength, power, and intelligence. You are an individualized expression of your creator and are very powerful. When you learn to recognize this and live it, you will have more confidence to raise your kid(s) your way along with your creator’s guidance.
Get Emotionally Strong
Learn to work on your emotional stability and strength. Let go of any conditioning from society that is not aligned to your true self especially your identity, beliefs, and thoughts because they create your feelings, words, actions, habits, and destiny.
You are emotionally independent and should not give power to and be affected by the experiences and outer circumstances of your life. This will give you more confidence in your parenting and a better ability to raise strong and resilient kid(s).
Stop Comparing
Be aware of the negative inner chatter, learn to stop it and do not rob yourself of joy in life by comparing yourself to other people. Instead, chart your own path and do parenting your way.
People normally post happy moments from their lives on social media or what appears to be a happy moment. But, you do not know what their lives are truly like. Don’t waste any energy doubting your parenting style and worrying about other people’s judgement and opinions.
Be Open To Imperfection
Know that it is okay to not be perfect, and make mistakes in your motherhood journey. Recognize, own up to your mistakes, and have an honest conversation with your kid(s) and apologize. It is a great way to teach them that no one is perfect and we are all here to grow, change, and become a better version of ourselves.
Everything that happens in life happens for you and there’s nothing that’s an accident. What a freeing way to live your life. There are no failures, they are simply feedback and lessons to be learnt for course correction.
In conclusion, now you know a good mother is a mother who always strives to do her best in any given moment with her kid(s) and also takes time to learn, grow, improve, and practice self-care without any guilt. She is patient and ensures each of her kid(s) is loved unconditionally, heard, understood, seen, accepted, and valued for who they are individually.
She teaches her kid(s) to live their authentic life, honouring their values, unique gifts, purpose, and life vision and teaches them to trust and listen to their inner wisdom for guidance. She is always available to guide her kids and at the same time trusts that she has given them tools to flourish on their own should they need to.
Know that you are powerful enough to raise your kid(s) confidently and in an authentic way. Learn to be grateful for the blessing of motherhood, awaken and raise your vibration, get emotionally strong, stop comparing yourself to others, and be open to making mistakes and being imperfect.
Enjoy the blessing of motherhood and make sure you take the time to enjoy and have fun each day with your kid(s). Time goes by so quickly and they grow up too fast!
