This will surprise you: motherhood comes easy to me now. When I say easy, it doesn’t mean I don’t experience challenges. It means I don’t let my emotions get the better of me, and I know how to regulate to quickly get back to center. The challenges I experience are fleeting, temporary and easily forgotten.
I love myself unconditionally and completely trust my intuition. I don’t even have to meditate to let go because my central pillar of spiritual energy, which runs through my spine and connects above and below, is strong. How did I get here? Through the darkness.
It’s thanks my difficult beginnings in motherhood (difficult pregnancies, traumatic birth and PPD/A) that motherhood now comes easily to me. When you hit rock bottom and lose your love for yourself, you can never forget it.
After healing, with the method I teach as a mother coach, I promised myself that I would never touch those dark places again, and for this reason no challenge in motherhood can decenter me.
If you are having a hard time in motherhood, I want you to know that it is possible to heal completely, put the past behind you and open a new chapter in motherhood where things are easier.
With these tips you can make motherhood less difficult from today:
Understand your triggers.
When we are triggered during motherhood, we respond to the past, not the present. In short, our children’s behavior triggers conscious or unconscious memories of the way we grew up, so we respond as the inner child would.
Make sure you release once.
It is essential to have a release exercise. Choose one and be consistent. It can be meditation, breathwork, a walk or a workout. Make this exercise intentional. As you practice, declare, “Now I let go…”
Work on your inner child.
This goes back to point N.1. Once you know what your triggers are and can release your emotions effectively, make time and space to talk to your inner child. Make her feel loved, understood and supported.
Live and think in the present.
Most challenges in your relationship with your children are temporary, but we live in an intervention-oriented society that focuses on fear. Ignore this story. Take on the challenges moment by moment.
Follow your intuition.
I believe intuition is your compass for navigating motherhood. Develop confidence in your intuition and your children’s ability to grow and figure things out. It’s good to ask outside help if necessary, but always check your intuition.
