Mom Guilt
Is “mom guilt” optional? Can we opt out?
I believe the answer is a resounding YES!
Mom guilt comes in waves—but leaves us feeling terrible.
It might sound like: “I never should have gone back to work/stayed home with the kids/taken this job/put the baby in daycare/gotten divorced/gotten married/taken this job/had this many kids/had kids at all/etc.”
We all have our own unique flavor of the guilt.
What creates this guilt? Guilt is created by a limiting belief that DOES NOT SERVE US.
The belief might sound like:
“I’m failing”
“I’m a failure”
“I can’t hack this”
“I’m not cut out for this”
Of course we feel guilty! Of course we feel down! Our limiting belief is trying to sabotage us!
But we actually have a choice.
The limiting belief is actually OPTIONAL.
With help and coaching, you can CHOOSE a supportive belief that helps you feel great.
SUPPORTIVE BELIEFS sound like:
“I’m human and I’m learning”
“I’m making the best decisions I can”
“I’m a person with a big heart”
SUPPORTIVE beliefs increase confidence because they both feel true to us and are supportive.
It can be very, very challenging to change our thoughts alone. There are good reasons why our limiting beliefs FEEL REAL to us. But with help you can still shift them.
Asking for help is the brave thing to do.
So you can finally choose to ditch that mom guilt, and start feeling as awesome as you really are.
