Seek support: Don't be afraid to seek support from friends, family, or a therapist if you are struggling emotionally.
Be flexible: Try to go with the flow and be flexible in your approach to parenting. Sometimes things don't go as planned, and being able to adapt and adjust is key to emotional resilience.
Set boundaries: Learn to set healthy boundaries for yourself and your children. This will help you to maintain a sense of balance and control in your life.
Practice mindfulness: Incorporate mindfulness techniques, such as meditation or yoga, into your daily routine to help you stay grounded and present.
Find ways to relax: Make time for activities that you enjoy and that help you to relax and unwind, such as reading, exercising, or listening to music.
Practice gratitude: Make a habit of regularly expressing gratitude for the positive things in your life. This can help to shift your focus away from negative emotions and towards positive ones. Personally, I started keeping a ‘Little Book of Wins’ which really helped me to change my focus.
Be kind to yourself: Be gentle and compassionate with yourself. Remember that you are doing your best and that it is okay not to be okay. Perfection won’t happen right away but little steps in the right direction will get you from where you are today, to where you want to be. And above all, know you are never alone in this journey and that you are loved.
