My Happy Means Taking Time for Me

Diary of A Divorced CocoaMommy

Last week I finally took the time to watch this video in its entirety.  It is a very poignant and candid conversation The most touching part of the video is her conversation with her mother. It is obvious her circumstances during her childhood made her a highly mature individual and she harbored no resentment toward her mother’s choices.
When her daughter asked her about being a wife and a mother. I swear a lightbulb went off in my head. It was like Jada was tapping me on the shoulder as she nailed the reality of being a wife and a mother. Although I am no longer a wife it made me reflect on my life as a wife. I never fully understood the importance of taking care of me first and foremost. It’s a new day and as a mom I have to take care of ME in order to be at my best.

5 Things I Learned

  1. Be transparent with myself, being a mom is challenging
  2. Take ME time with no guilt
  3. Take care of yourself to renew myself mentally and physically
  4. Seek help from who are willing and able to assist
  5. Never feel guilty for doing you

If I’m HAPPY my kids are HAPPY
