Happy Mother’s Day!

Throwback to when I was pregnant with my 4th in 2018. 😍

How are you being celebrated today? I’m not lifting a finger in the kitchen today. 😏

“Self-care, in todays world, is no longer a luxury. It’s a priority.” - Lauren, SAHM of 4, @mastermomstress

I came across this not long ago and immediately wrote it on a sticky note and put it on my bathroom mirror.

“Whatever it is that’s bothering you right now, ask yourself this: Is this same thing going to be bothering me five years from now? This allows space in your mind and invites some ease.” - Shirin
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It’s been so helpful to refocus my mind and attention so that I don’t waste more energy than is necessary thinking about something that might be stressful or irritating.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Because at the end of the day, about 99% of the time, whatever it is won’t matter in five years. I will have long forgotten about it.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Whatever is bothering you today, mama, will this same think bother you five years from now?

Just a reminder to take time for yourself this weekend.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I think I’m going to put the “to-do” lists away until Monday. Who’s with me?

Before bed, I quickly mapped out my plan for May & June.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You see, I was very consistent with posting blog posts to MasterMomStress.com for the start of this year, but in March, that changed.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’ve always preached the importance of taking breaks when you feel it is necessary. (But in the blogging or content creating spaces, breaks can damage the momentum you’ve built up.)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Rather than be upset by it, I understand that blogging or creating content isn’t my full-time job.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
My full-time job is being a mom.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And so, last night, I mapped out the plan for May and June and I’ve decided that I realistically can only write 2 blog posts per month, plus write 1 email per month (blog posts and emails take just the same amount of time & energy).
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I also want to publish 1 YouTube video per month (my channel is Lauren’s Life Plans).
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Of course, this is the mama who hasn’t yet reached summer break and part of me knows that’s likely to change. However, as long as I have a plan in advance for blog post topics, it’s not as difficult to follow through with this schedule.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
All that to say: I bend so I don’t break.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Okay, I literally do yoga everyday so I know that’s what this phrase is talking about.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But it can also mean pivot and shift.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
As moms, we need to adjust to current situations. It’s okay to adjust. If we made a commitment that no longer fits our current situation, we need to see if we can adjust or let it go.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I practice what I preach. I always put myself and my needs ahead of what I “need to” write.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Love & light,
Lauren

PS If you are subscribed (@mastermomstress), I’m sending out an updated May self-care journal printable before April ends. I’ve added enough daily pages so that you can simply print using the “booklet” option.
