Please stop comparing myself to others. Common niggles include;
- I'm not a morning person. I spend so much energy wishing I was and feeling 'less than' because anything before 10am quite literally makes me feel sick. I want to own being a night owl..
- My kids are amazing as they are. Why do I get that sinking in the pit of the stomach feeling when others tell me what their kids are up to? Why can't I separate from what I see as my failures? Ie i don't have enough time / energy to really invest in child B's hobby so they might become an expert/ champion at it
- My body will not look like it did when I was 28 (last time I can remember just grabbing a dress and out!) I have weight on my tummy, an enormous bust but keep fit - I must embrace this figure...
- I will never reach the end of the to-do list. Free time will only ever be free-ish as I'll always have things to do / go back to.
I have the husband & job I'd dreamed of, healthy kids & family (obviously some dark corners as exists everywhere but on the whole we're ok) so how do I stop floating off in all the other directions telling myself I'm not good enough? Any tips on how you've nipped this in the bud?
