THIS WEEK'S TOPIC: It's All About You!
Fascinating Mothers!

This weekend my husband, Mike, said to me "it's always all about you!" He was teasing, but there is definitely  truth to his comment. I tend to be self centered. I do a lot of soul searching and reflection - so I'm acutely aware of Cookie!myself, my impact on others and their impact on me.

I think that being keenly interested in yourself, is one of the keys to being an amazing mother. It's part of bringing everything you are to your children. This week's newsletter reminds you that sometimes it needs to be All About You. Scroll down to Your Coaching Moment to put yourself in the spotlight.

All the best from your coach,
Amy
Founder, Empowered Motherhood LLC

For my boy Matt, it's all about the cookie!

Finding your balance is NOT about making sure your life is a neatly divided pie with equal parts of family, career, home, etc.  Finding your balance is unique to you. It’s about prioritizing and committing to things to do and ways to be that keep your feet on the ground. Solid. Strong. So nothing can knock you over.

YOUR COACHING Moment
It's All About You

You know what? I’m fascinated by you.  I think you are extraordinary. Special. One-of-a-kind. And incredibly important.

Today I want you to be fascinated with you, too. I want you to be curious about who you are, what makes you unique and what you are meant to do and be as a mother.

You were given this life, this body, this mind, these unique gifts & talents – they were entrusted to you and it’s your job to do the best you can with them. To nurture and cultivate who you are – who only you can be.

So, I don’t think it’s bad to be selfish, or self absorbed or self centered. I think it’s bad to NOT be selfish, self absorbed or self centered. I want you to be those things. Not to the detriment of others or instead of others – but so you can GIVE the most to others. And to the world.

Make sure you know how to step into the spotlight. Make sure you are adept at noticing the qualities that make you special. Small qualities. Big qualities. It doesn’t matter – it’s what you instinctively feel are your personal gifts. And don’t hold back bringing these to your life as a woman and mother!

COACH YOURSELF: Take five minutes right now and step into the spotlight. What do you see? Write down at least one quality, skill or gift that you possess. Commit to bringing that to your family and to the world.
