Confessions From A Happily Exhausted Mother
It is perfectly normal to be a happily exhausted mother. Being a mother is the most beautiful profession in the world, but at the same time as we devote all our time to our children, work and obligations, we often forget something else important: our own well-being.
The whole day is spent doing everything possible and even impossible to guarantee everyone’s joy. We play with the children, talk to our partner, cook everyone’s favorite dishes, organize the home, work to help with the expenses and so much more.
In the end, we realize that we spend very little time for ourselves. The woman who never used to go outside the door without spending hours in front of the mirror to get ready now ceases to exist.
We do not mind having the same pair of jeans for several days in a row or using the first clothes we find in the closet. We do not mind exchanging the time we spend putting on make-up for other needs that must be met at home.
Yes, life changes us radically and maybe reality does not look like you had imagined during pregnancy.
Motherhood is one of the most beautiful fairy tales that actually exists in the world, but at the beginning of the story you realize that you have to sacrifice many things to reap the positive fruits of the future.
Happily exhausted mother – it’s time to restructure
When we get questions about parenting, all the tough moments pass before our eyes, but the answer will always be that we are happier than ever. And that is the absolute truth.
When we are alone, we wonder how we can live without the little ones. Those who change our whole world. Those who fill our world with color.
Children represent something indescribable. They come into your life to make you understand that there are certain things that have real meaning in life.
Sometimes the days are eternal and the nights are short-lived. Sometimes we do not even know what day of the week it is.
Fatigue takes over and sometimes we just want to throw in the towel (even when we have the best company in our arms). But so it is. It’s a mixture of emotions and it’s completely normal.
In the beginning, we focus on understanding the mystery of taking care of a baby. Even changing diapers can be an extremely difficult challenge.
Then the days go by and we start asking ourselves: Where are we? Who are we? How are we on the inside?
Sure, now you can not eat with the same peace of mind as you did yesterday. You can not go to the bathroom alone, go out with your friends or even call without saying: “I will call you later, my child needs me”.
That is the reality for a happily exhausted mother. A woman who gives everything, without expecting anything in return.
A mother who no longer needs to comb her hair in order for her to think she looks good, but she always dresses her child in the most comfortable clothes. Such is you, the heroine who will do anything to make the fruit of happiness grow.
Motherhood from a different perspective
When we become mothers, the most beautiful gift is placed in our hands. We dedicate our entire lives to our children. No one can make us change our way of thinking.
But little by little, you should look for a space for yourself. Where you can revive your essence. You have already survived the pregnancy, where you gave yourself and discovered what it meant to be a mother.
Stop for a second and think about yourself, open the door that allows you to rediscover yourself.
Doing what we like is not wrong. On the contrary, it gives us the opportunity to distract the mind in order to come back stronger.
Do something you enjoy: work out, listen to music or go for a walk with your friends. It fills you with positive energy.
Motherhood is wonderful. If you are starting to feel tired and just want to leave everything aside for a while, do not forget: listen to your heart.
Always remember that it is normal to feel like a happily exhausted mother sometimes.
