Ep 063: Give Yourself More Credit

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Are you giving yourself credit for all the things you are accomplishing each day that never even make it on your to do list?</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">For example, did you give yourself credit for stopping your life to bandage a skinned knee, kiss a boo boo, give a hug, call to check on a loved one who is lonely, remind your kiddos every day to brush their teeth so they don’t get cavities, give them a bath to teach them good hygiene, have a much-needed, good belly laugh when life gets crazy, or put down your phone to have a serious conversation with your kid about something that happened at school that day? </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Oh, you didn’t put that stuff on your to do list??? Of course, you didn’t, but those things can be way more important and valuable than doing laundry, the dishes, answering emails, or attacking that mail pile. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">How about acting fast to grab your toddler that bolted toward the street to get a bouncing ball…did you put “save my kid’s life” on your to do list today? I’m guessing, no. How about the follow up conversation you had about never running into the street because it’s so dangerous? </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It’s so easy to look at the lack of check marks on your list at the end of the day and feel like you should’ve done more, but PLEASE, Mama, don’t forget to give yourself more credit for all the other stuff you did that will never be a box you check on your list. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">You are amazing! You are doing plenty! So as we celebrate Moms in all of their bath-giving, life-saving glory this month, don’t forget to give yourself some serious props for all that you do! </span></p> <p><br /> <br /></p> <p><strong>Highlights from this episode:</strong></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">{2:32} The guilt free to-do list</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">{3:30} Celebrating accomplishing the things
