*Mum Guilt* While we all feel it from time to time (read:everyday!) it's quite a subjective feeling. Different mums feel guilt about different things which suggests that the guilt is attached to an element of us - our thoughts, feelings and emotions rather than the actual act making us feel guilty. Some mums are happy to go back to work, without feeling guilty, perhaps they had a mum who worked. Some mums feel guilty for not spending every waking minute with their child. Perhaps they've bought into the narrative that it's a mums role to always be around or that a "good mum" is always around. . . . Whatever the case, that feeling of guilt comes from our own stories and the narratives we have created for ourselves, outlining what a "good mum" is. And I don't know a single mum who doesn't feel any sort of guilt. It gets to us all! . . . So how do we alleviate this anxious feeling we have when guilt sets in? Start to become more conscious and aware of what it is that you feel guilty about. Then consider what you believe about child raising that is creating your narrative. When you have your answer, cast your mind back to your own childhood and consider where your thinking started from. Finally, contemplate what you could do to either change this narrative or consider why it may no longer be serving you. Consciousness, Consideration and Contemplation! . . . Always happy to help if you have any questions or need some guidance to help unpack your thoughts. * It goes without saying, the above practice could be applied to dad guilt as well. . . . What's your guilt trigger? . . . 📷 of us in a cocoa pod! #changeyournarrative #changeyourlife #lifecoach #mumguilt
