With so many things happening in the world its hard to imagine how to raise these tiny humans. We already face so many obstacles as parents as it is, but throw in a huge worldwide pandemic and itโs nearly impossible to stay focused on molding the core values into our children... at least thatโs how it feels.
I have ALWAYS been an overthinker, bless my little heart, and Iโve been so side tracked with starting a new job, my spouse being laid off and the twins going through a new leap that I feel like I havenโt been my best self as a parent. I want to lead by example. I want to be the role model I know I can be. But seriously, how? How do I manage this constant anxiety and raising our kids right. (This is where in the cartoons a little light bulb would go off above my head ๐ก) I have to start being present And redirect my thought process.
And you might be wondering โWhat does that look like Exactly?โ.
For me, change is a process that happens over time from making a bagillion little changes.๐ So, start small. Being present in my childrenโs lives. FOR GOD SAKES ADA, put the phone down! Iโm REALLLLLY working on that guys. Like, super hard. my kids are almost two and are becoming obsessed with holding my phone. Thatโs not okay with me. So, no time like the present to change that little habit. Iโve started setting social media/phone time. I try not to be on my phone and focus on what is happening in the moment. If itโs something I want to take a picture of or take a video then I do so and make a compromise that I wonโt post on social media or send it anywhere until after the babes are down for bed/nap. So, a take now, post later type of thing. Seems silly, but these little changes add up!
I wonโt drag this post out. The bottom line is leading by Example, being present and focusing on what you can control through this pandemic and giving yourself some grace. โค๏ธ
Youโre doing an amazing job! ๐๐ผ๐๐ผ๐๐ผ๐๐ผ
