Good Morning and happy Monday! Today started a new season for me. I know I have talked about this before, but for a while now I have struggled to sort of find my identity. Of course I know I am a Mother to my beautiful children, but as they get older and don’t need me every second of every day, I started thinking about me.
As a parent it can be really hard to put yourself first and be selfish. I cringe when I think of doing what I need/want first before focusing on my family. Instead of thinking of it that way, putting myself first, I am trying out a new schedule that allows us all to function at our full potential. This morning I did it. I got up at 6:30 am and got my exercise in and now I am working, alone.
It feels so good! I am totally not a morning person and I am always thinking about how if only I could wake up an hour or two before Jax and Mia how much I could get done! Reality check, I need to wake up before them and start my day. Instead of saying I’m not a morning person, I went to bed at a decent hour and set my alarm. I am making myself be a morning person. With one cup of coffee down and progress on my website (not launching today stay tuned for more updates) I feel more accomplished than ever!
I am finding my purpose and my clarity. I am taking steps, baby steps, to take care of myself and my family! If I’m not my best me how can I be the best for everyone around me? I know it’s only Monday, but let’s do this. Here’s to a better me!
XO,
Corrine Monique
