I’ve heard it said that it’s not happy people

I’ve heard it said that it’s not happy people who are thankful, but thankful people who are happy. So in the interest of amping up today’s happiness quotient, I’m calling out three things, right here, right now, for which I’m grateful. ⁣
⁣
1. YOU... I love coming on social media and talking to you every day! ⁣
⁣
2. Our neighborhood! With less than 2 days left before school starts, I offered our boys some activities to go do today and they turned me down because they love playing with the neighbor kids so much and wanted to stay home. ⁣
⁣
3. Leftovers... I hate cooking! ⁣
⁣
Now you! What are you thankful for today?

Do you give yourself the same amount of grace that you give your child?⁣
⁣
When your child messes up, you teach them there are do-overs. You help them learn from their mistakes. ⁣
⁣
You don’t hold their mistakes over their head or make them feel bad about the situation. ⁣
⁣
So why do we moms carry the weight of guilt from our mistakes? Why do we beat ourselves up with negativity about how we handled a situation? ⁣
⁣
Why don’t we give ourselves grace the same way we would give it to our children?⁣
⁣
Mama, we are all flawed humans. And we get the challenging, yet amazing job of raising tiny flawed humans.⁣
⁣
In other words, we are all going to make mistakes. We are all going to screw up. We’re all going to wish for times when we could have done better. But guilting ourselves will never help us be our best.⁣
⁣
Let’s decide today to replace our guilt with grace! ⁣
⁣
Let’s make it a point to teach our kids how to give grace and how to receive it! ⁣

If you could be anywhere right now, where would you be? ⁣
⁣
I would be in Maui. But since that isn’t possible right now, I am enjoying where I am instead. Today, I’m home doing the daily work-kid-housework routine and even on the challenging days it’s pretty darn good!⁣
⁣
Wanna know my secret?⁣
⁣
I've learned to break free from overwhelm and can go through the daily grind joyfully! ⁣
⁣
Of course, I’m still longing for the sandy beaches, breathtaking views, and chill island vibe of Maui. But for now I’ll continue lovin’ the burbs of Chicago.⁣
⁣
Where are you, and where would you rather be? Share away!⁣

What’s your vibe today? Happy? Busy? Overwhelmed

What’s your vibe today? Happy? Busy? Overwhelmed? Ready for it to be 5 o’clock somewhere?

Anything that challenges your mental health, your

Anything that challenges your mental health, your happiness, your self-esteem and self-worth is worth saying ENOUGH to!

Enough allowing overwhelm to overwhelm you.
Enough with the busyness.
Enough with the comparisons.
Enough negative self-talk.

ENOUGH!

Say it loud and proud and don't back down!

What else should we add to the list of ENOUGH?
