@hannahwiththelipstick: I felt myself becoming resentful recently. I was watching all my mom friends choose to take care of themselves and found myself saying things like “must be nice” in my head. I had convinced myself I was too busy with work, the kids, and my overly full calendar to do the things I saw them doing for themselves and I started to feel really bad for myself. I stared to go to that place where you look for all the ways your life isn’t what you wish it was. I started to get annoyed by my husband’s hobbies and dedication to the gym convincing myself I can’t step away or ask for those things for myself. I had a full melt down telling my husband how I was feeling and his response was “you can have all of those things if you want them”. At first I was furious at how simple he made it sound but then I realized all the fake rules I had given myself in this season of motherhood. I had fully convinced myself that it was other things / people in the way of my needs but it turns out it was me and my victim mindset all along. I took a hard look at my own belief patterns around what makes a good mom and I realized it’s time to break free of the lies I was believing and start saying yes to the things I know I need to do to be the mom and wife I want to be. I started this “Goodbye self-sabotage” series because I want to 1) use it as accountability to grow in this area and 2) I want the mom who is struggling with the same things to have a front grow seat to what I’m learning and growing in so that hopefully you can be inspired to do the same for yourself. So welcome, and follow along as I say GOODBYE 👋🏼 to self-sabotage! 🫶🏻 #goodbyeselfsabotage #momguilt #momlife #momglowup
