Even If You're a Mother, Don't Neglect Your Own Dreams

We all have dreams, we build them up from the minute we open our eyes. When we're young our limit is the sky, we wish we could become everything, I know that from my daughter; she wants to be a chef, an actress, a painter, an acrobat and she wants to work in a circus.

I had many dreams myself; they were wonderful, and I still hold on to many of them. I remember dreaming of a house like the one I have now, a loving and caring husband like mine and having two beautiful and intelligent daughters; these are the dreams I accomplished. That is what made me believe more in the law of attraction. But I still have many unfulfilled dreams like many of you, mothers, as well, because from the minute we have our children our life is mostly dedicated to them. All we think about and work for is their wellbeing, their own dreams and we sacrifice our life to help them get where they want to be and we forget that once upon a time we had our own expectations from life.

Even if you are a mother don't neglect your dreams, you should let motherhood be the reason for you to chase your own visions. Get a paper and a pen, write down what you wish you could realize before you die. And start working on it. Weather they were big projects, small projects, fantasies, it really doesn't matter. Chase them until the last minute of your life. One of my dreams was to become a writer. I never thought I would start to write online, not even in English since I am French educated; but I did. One day I woke up, took my laptop and started writing about motherhood. I allowed motherhood to become the key that opened the door towards many other projects I have for myself!

I have heard many women say: "I don't have a dream, this is my only dream". It is beautiful to be contented with what we have, but one day your children will grow up and leave the house and you will be on your own and this is a reality you should be prepared for. That is why, I advise you as a mother to start searching for your dreams and aiming for them.

To be a super mom, you should never forget that you're a mother, a woman and a dream chaser.

Being a Mother - What to Do When You're Exhausted

Becoming a mother is a heavenly experience but it can be really exhausting too. Mothers all over the world complain about not getting enough time for themselves. In this article I will offer some relaxation tips for mothers so that they are able to manage their time and energy more effectively.

• Set your priorities: Make a list of all activities which consume your time and then relist them in order of priority. Do not stress yourself over tasks which are not very important or can be done by others. Once you sort everything out, you will be able to find time for yourself and your family which will relax you.

• Meditate: Meditation is any practice which relaxes your mind and soul such as prayer, exercise, yoga or kung fu. Also, it may involve being alone for some time and just pondering over yourself. These actions relieve your mind and enable you to manage stressful situations.

• You are what you eat: Incorporate fresh fruits and vegetables in your diet as much as you can. This will boost your confidence and reduce your worries about your weight. Keep you vitamin levels normal because lack of vitamins in body can make you feel irritated. If you feel good, you will be able to relax your mind.

• Smile: According to research, if you put on a fake smile on your face for a long time, it induces happiness. So, try to smile more. Think about all the good times of your life and let yourself sink in those moments. You are as happy as you want yourself to be, so try to make the atmosphere around you more lively and cheerful by cheering up yourself first.

• Revitalize yourself: There is nothing wrong with trying out new things because they brighten your life. Treat yourself to that new dress you saw in a shop but could not buy because you were too busy saving up money. Go out with friends. Rouse that chemistry with your husband and show him you are still young at heart. Go on a family vacation. Hence, do anything that adds up to your good memories.

• Be prepared, for better or for worse: If you already figure out the weaknesses and strengths of any task you are attempting, you will be mentally prepared for failure. Thus, instead of breaking into pieces at that moment, you will be thinking of alternate ways of doing the same thing and will be able to reduce your anxiety level.
