The Strive for Perfection…
As a Mom, woman, wife, friend, do you sometimes feel that whatever job you are doing just isn’t good enough? Today I’d like to focus on Mom’s but this really applies to all women who feel the need to always set a good example and nurture those around us. We can easily become inundated with information about eating healthy, living a healthy lifestyle, and the statistics around the health of our children. But it sure can be overwhelming when you are trying to do it all, and frankly, just don’t know where to begin when it comes to making healthier choices. With all the conflicting information, and do’s and don’ts, it can be easy to beat ourselves up for feeling we are not doing a good enough job.
The thing is you probably ARE doing a good job at being a mom, wife, co-worker, etc. by providing love and support to those in your life. Making changes is not an “all or nothing” deal. The best way to make sustainable changes is making them one at a time. I experience it everyday with my clients, and those who work on one small thing at a time are the ones that have long term success. There are no quick fixes, only taking a little time to honor yourself in allowing yourself to make progressive changes. So where do we begin?
