For any of you Moms out there that are doing it all, attempting
to gain Super Mom status, let me give you my own personal opinion…It’s
not worth it!!!
The pursuit of the super mom syndrome is an endless
search that will be of great cost to you in the end. Here are 10 reasons
why you need to put an immediate halt to this pursuit.
-
There is no such thing as a Mom who can do everything perfect
because as far as I am concerned, perfection comes at a very high price.
Seemingly perfect to other people, is often not the way things really are
for the perfectionist.
-
The Super Mom Syndrome is literally killing women.
Stress related diseases are on the rise and the demands that women place
on themselves today directly contribute to the stress in their life. This
stress is often all consuming.
-
There are far too many roles in our life today. Trying to
keep up with the different hats we wear on a daily basis is sometimes impossible.
Feeling the need to be perfect in them all is exhausting.
-
Our children miss out on some precious experiences with us
that they can't get back. We are frequently so wrapped up in our to-do
list that we forget to put the really important things on the list at all.
-
It’s exhausting!!! Having to do everything that you feel
society expects of you, as a mother is overwhelming.
-
It’s no fun. How much fun has anyone really had attempting
to do everything perfect???
-
Your friends will like you more when you can laugh at your
imperfections along with theirs.
-
Your quality of life will immediately improve. When you make
the decision to give yourself a break and do your own personal best instead
of 100% perfect, a huge weight is lifted off your shoulders. Anxiety and
depression can be an end result of unrealistic standards that you consistently
place on yourself.
-
The Super Mom never enjoys the moment. She is always multitasking
and thinking of what needs to be done next. Life will pass you by before
you know it.
-
Continuing to admire women who can do it all will continue
to place unrealistic demands on mothers to do it all. Let’s start to admire
the mothers who take time to nurture themselves. Let’s admire the women
who can enjoy the time with the kids at the playground and be really present
when they are reading to their children. Let’s toast the Moms who admit
they can't do it all, all the time. Let’s congratulate women on their honesty
and ability to ask for help. Let’s start to celebrate our imperfections
instead of beating ourselves up over them. Let’s stop judging each other
and offer support instead.
We are not perfect creatures nor were we meant to be. So
why are we trying to be??? Wouldn't Motherhood be a lot more fun if it
didn't have to be perfect?
