Keep It Simple


In the beautiful chaos of motherhood.... and really, just being a woman, it's natural to feel the weight of worry and stress pressing down on you because you the managing so many things.


When you are nurturing and loving on little souls and big ones too PLUS keeping up with the daily demands, you have to remember that your well-being matters just as much as everyone else that you are busy taking care of.


Self-care isn't just a buzzword; it's a lifeline, especially for women like you and me who give tirelessly of themselves each day. It's about carving out small, simple moments to replenish your spirit and refill your cup. But hear so many times, I don't have time. I will do it later. I have to take my daughter/son to practice. My husband needs me to _____ ( you can fill in the blank).

Where can you begin when the idea of self-care feels as impossible as catching a toddler on the run after they took their grandmother's yarn off the sewing machine and has unrolled strings of thread... everywhere.... Or is that just my house???? LOL .🀣🀣

How do you get a moment of peace in a busy household?

The short answer...
First, embrace the truth that by taking care of your own needs, you become an even stronger support for your family.

Secondly, Self-care isn't one-size-fits-all. It's as unique as you are. It could be stealing a few quiet moments in the early morning before the day begins, savoring a hot cup of tea- or cold cup of tea, or my personal favorite... indulging in a warm shower after the little ones are tucked in for the night.

Whatever feels easiest for you. Whatever feels good for you.. is exactly what you do.

Smom's Lifestyle- Proud of Who I Am & Who I Am Becoming




One of the things that I dislike most about social media is the CONSTANT JUDGMENT of others. I SOOOOOO miss the days that existed where people could have differing opinions and people were still RESPECTFUL. But, in spite of that, I still believe that there are more people in this world with compassion and love in their hearts than those that don’t. 


So I want to share this word of encouragement.


To every amazing & beautiful spirited mama out there juggling a million things: remember, your worth isn't measured by someone else's opinions. It's about being proud of who you are, flaws and all. In the midst of busy schedules and endless to-dos, don't ever forget to prioritize YOU too.


Taking care of yourself has to be at the top of your “to do” list… not the bottom. It’s necessary for your physical and mental well-being. 😘 So, hold your head high, embrace what makes you unique, and let go of the judgments and haters.


You're doing great and you deserve to feel proud of the incredible person you are now and are becoming. πŸ’– #SelfCare #MomLife #NoJudgment  #firsttimemom #selfcarepostpartum #naturalsoapshop


Until Next Time... Color Your Thoughts, Beautiful!

What scent to you prefer for your natural soap?

 




#momlife #firsttimemom #selfcarepostpartum #naturalsoapshop


For me, because I am such an “ energy” reading kind of person meaning the energy around me affects my mood and energy levels significantly- I would have to say my favorite soap scent is chosen based on how I am feeling. So, if I am feeling drained or emotionally depleted, then my go to soaps HANDS DOWN are my herbal/fresh scented soaps. If I'm feeling good, sleepy or just blah, my go to is citrus/ fruity, and if I feel overstimulated like too much is going on, I reach for unscented or sometimes eucalyptus scents. So, I CAN NOT choose 1 favorite 🀣. I ‘ve got to have them all… my shower shows that right now… I have 3 bars of soap on my shower rack right now as we speak, lol.



What’s yours?

Wednesday's Self Care Affirmation for

 

"Imposter Syndrome"

 

I am enough, just as I am. My worth is not defined by perfection or the approval of anyone. I embrace my unique journey, recognizing that I am capable and deserving of the success that I want for myself.
I release feelings of imposter syndrome- or feeling like I'm not good enough or knowledgeable enough and I welcome self-compassion and confidence into my life. I will trust in my abilities and I know that I have the strength and can do whatever I put my mind to.
With each step I take, I am being sincere to who I am and what I want for my life. What I have to offer is enough.




Like Nike Said... Just Do It. But I Like To Just Say... Just Rinse It Off

Today, let's talk imposter syndrome so it can stop holding you back.
When you are nervous about to stepping outside your comfort zone, sometimes you can mix the feelings of fear with feelings of inadequate.
Guess what- that jittery, second - third- fourth- and fifth feeling of "I don't think I can" before starting something different is just a feeling of fear and it is NOT that you are incapable of doing it.
When I decided to start my journey as a mama boss and leave my stable teaching career, it was one of the scariest things I have ever done. Honestly, I still get that "imposter feeling" like "I don't know what I am doing and am I even supposed to be in this space" kind of feeling.
But, God has a way of letting you know that you are in the right place at the right time.
That's what has been my experience in dealing with imposter syndrome.
Sometimes, it's not about whether something is a "forever" thing, the question often is " Is this the season for me to enter into it?
That imposter feeling, I don't really know if it ever really goes away. But I will tell you what I do know.
I do know that God will direct your path when you are moving according to His will and His purpose for your life. And when you have direction (not all the answers, just direction... and can move one step at a time), you can be confident in moving forward with a little less fear.
Those feelings of fear don't define your capabilities. They're simply reminders that you're challenging yourself and embracing growth.




Shop smomslife.com for the best natural scented soap collection for dry & sensitive with fragrances that calm and soothe your mind after a stressful or busy day.
It's natural to question yourself and wonder if you belong in this new space. But, there's a peace that can't really be explained when you know that God is leading your way.
He has a way of guiding you to where you need to be, precisely when you need to be there.
It's not about knowing if something is meant to be forever; it's about recognizing if it's the right time for you to step into it. That imposter feeling may linger, but it doesn't have to hold you back. Trust that God is leading you on a path aligned with His will and purpose for your life.
You may not have all the answers, but as long as you have direction to move one step at a time—you can also move forward with confidence, knowing that you're walking in faith.
Embrace whatever journey you are called to with courage, knowing that you are exactly where you need to be.
Keep believing in yourself, your journey is unfolding beautifully.
Sending hugs and love this Wednesday from my heart to yours! πŸ€—πŸ˜˜
And as always, until next time... Color every thought that you have today as BEAUTIFUL as you are❣️

What's the #1 way to get rid of " Imposter Syndrome"?

Rinse it Off!


Bring "extra soap" to the shower when you are starting something new!


Why? Because the shower is the best place to brainstorm without someone calling you... MOST of the time 🀣 AND so you wash away all those FAKE doubts and come out squeaky clean and as the fresh smelling superstar you already truly are! 😘

Sometimes, just being a little silly can help rinse away those feelings of doubt and remind you of your true worth and capabilities. So lather up, laugh it off, and step out feeling confident and refreshed!

Did You Know:

Relaxation: Warm water has a soothing effect on the body and mind, promoting relaxation and reducing stress. When you're relaxed, your mind is more open to introspection and self-reflection.

Tonight's Reflection Question:

What would happen if I embraced the possibility of making mistakes or not knowing everything?

Smom's Lifestyle: Nourish Your Energy- Affirmations for Women

 


At Smom's Lifestyle- smomslife.com, we want to help you make packing for family vacations and travel with your littles a breeze this summer with our premium collection of Itzy Ritzy diaper bags and baby essentials PLUS a little something for mama too. After all, vacations are amazing, but when you return from your vacation mama- give yourself a vacation FROM the vacation with our SMOM TLC Box! Available at smomslife.com



Nourish Your Energy:

Life can be a bit like juggling. We toss one commitment in the air, catch it, and then another one comes flying our way. It's easy to end up with a heap of responsibilities that leave us feeling like we're in overload... and in over our heads. But the thing is – it's perfectly okay to admit when we've hit our limit.





😍**Download my free - 7 Days of Inspiration for Moms to see how to plug your energy leaks for a more balanced work and family life.





Get your customized bundle starting at $39


As moms we feel like we have to do it all. Sometimes, we mix up being busy with being productive. Feeling overwhelmed or like you can't keep up is not a sign of weakness; it's acknowledgment that your human.


Imagine your time and energy as this limited, precious resource. Learning to say 'no' is like putting up a little fence around that resource, making sure it's invested where it matters most. Saying 'no' doesn't mean you're closing doors; it means you're keeping the doors open to what truly needs and requires your time.


So moms... let's plug those energy leaks called overcommitting and practice say no until your plate feels like a curated menu and not a heaping, mile high plate from a buffet.






Let's be real; if we could morph ourselves into 20 people, or freeze time to get more done, we would. The reality is... that isn't reality and you can't do everything all the time.

Even superheroes need to pick their battles. So, focus on your priorities – the stuff that really matters to you. Think of saying 'no' as your way of saying, "Hold on, let me check if this aligns with my mission and my goals."

Life can feel like a crazy ride, but you're at the driver's seat. Saying 'no' with a smile isn't a rejection; it's the way to steer yourself towards what brings you joy and fulfillment while not adding on more than you can handle.



Until next time... color your thoughts beautiful! 😘
