The Unconventional WOMAN

Being a Mom, I was feeling frustrated and disappointed in myself almost all of the time, for not being capable of always giving my BEST in everything.

Then I realized that this BEST has different faces and has to work also for myself… and did just that.

Your “best” isn’t the same each moment of the day and even if you’re at your “Best Best”, you don’t have to put so much pressure on yourself to be that way all the time!

Just do the best that you can, according to that moment in time, and don’t forget about doing it for yourself too!

I’ve realized that giving my best when I was feeling tired was not the same as giving my best when I was feeling rested, but I was still giving it my best. Then I forgave myself and allowed myself to be all those “kinds of BEST”.

I know that we are our worst judges when we want to do more but we’re tired and just cannot do it.

Forgive yourself and accept that you are a human being and you’re allowed to be tired, sad, fed up, and all the rest …

Just stop and take some time for yourself!

When you’re tired, doing your best can also mean resting, isn’t it so? Do you know why? Because resting means doing the best for yourself at that moment and, after resting a bit, coming back to your chores more animated. From that state of being, you can share love and joy with the ones you love.

You cannot give from an empty vessel, isn’t it so?

I know it sounds like a cliche, but it worked wonders for me, so I thought you should try this too!

I hope you will get the results I got just by learning to do the best I was capable of at that moment for myself also.

If you have kids, let them know that you also are human and you also need some space and time for yourself.

It’s just that simple: “Please let me rest, for me to be able to give you the kind of love and attention that you deserve!”

We tend not to give our kids much credit for understanding things, but you’ll be surprised just how much they are capable of really understanding.

Trust those kids of yours to know when they should also take care of you, just by letting you have your resting time and being the Best for yourself in those moments!
