Speaking from my own perspective as a mother, I think that a mothers love is like no other and reminds me of a lioness. I am imagining myself like a lioness, powerful and strong, like a mothers love. We all love our children and want the best for them.
I am saying this from my heart, not as a “perfect person” or a “perfect mother,” because the need to be perfect is a trap and an illusion that we can all fall into. There is no perfect mum or perfect parent. Trying to be a perfect person and competing to try to achieve this, is a road to nowhere.
A road to Damscus moment which leads to the benefits that radical rethinking can bring
I have learned very quickly to champion myself as a mum. I champion anyone raising children. It’s a challenge, a welcome challenge, but nether the less a challenge. Remember:
It takes a village to raise a baby (African proverb)
This for sure is true and lets’ infuse into this the energy of self compassion. I say to myself, “my child is healthy,” “that’s enough,” “its enough to get through the day intact.” A proud “Champion” mum!
I think this post is a message for today as I have received this message many times myself and it is important to remember:
I am enough
I hope by sharing this today it helps anyone who has been feeling the same way as me at times, remember you are always enough just like the Lioness.
Sometimes it can take time for you to realise how magnificent you are and you will grow into this in time. Remember it’s a process and like life it’s not linear.
A reminder for today:
We are all magnificent mamas!
Some of the inspiring traits of a lioness:
Empowering, extreme love for her cubs, she is bold, fierce, strong, nurturing, Caring and a true queen
Just like you !
