107. [Coaching Session] Being and loving the mom you ARE (self-recognition and values)
Summary: This is part 2 of my life coaching call with Laura. We are continuing the conversation with an exploration of what values she wants to bring into her parenting. <br> <br> This portion of the coaching session was getting clarity on WHERE Laura wants to go as a mom, what it looks like for her to be a mom on purpose. <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> Head on over and <a title="106. [Coaching] Mom life, negative emotion, uncomfortable feelings" href="https://simpleonpurpose.ca/momlife-coaching-session/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">catch part 1 right here. </a><br> <br> Values-based parenting <br> When we are living in line with our values we feel more fulfilled, purposeful and at peace with how we are acting and behaving. <br> <br> This is why it is so important to know your values - they inform you of what is important to you and where you want to direct your energies.<br> <br> <br> What you are in control of as a mom <br> So many of us moms want to control the outcome of our children. We want to control how they feel about things, what they do/don't do, how they think about us or others. But all of this is NOT in our control. <br> <br> What is in our control is how we decide to show up (think, feel, act) - and our values are our compass on that. <br> <br> <br> Loving the mom you are<br> Part of loving WHO you are as a mom is recognizing what makes you unique. I love to do this with <a title="How this one list can empower you to be the mom you are" href="https://simpleonpurpose.ca/mother-on-purpose/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a list of all the things I think my kids will remember</a> about me as their mom. <br> <br> Self-recognition of ourselves helps us step out of comparison with others. <br> <br> <br> <br> <a title="108. [Coaching Session] Seeking joy in motherhood" href="https://simpleonpurpose.ca/more-joy-mom-life-coach/">We wrap up with part 3 of this session. </a><br> <br> <br> <br>
