Three things I wish I had known at the beginning

March 15, 2019Linda AndersonBALANCE, FAMILYNo Comments

If you could go back and tell yourself three things at the start of your motherhood journey what would they be?

For me they would be:

1. ASK FOR HELP

Ask sooner. Ask more often. Ask without guilt or judgement. When someone offers help, just say YES.

 

 

 

2. YOU DON’T HAVE TO BE PERFECT

This applies to everything: parenting, self care, meals, what clothes you wear!Β  Nothing has to be perfect. You can still be amazing in all the imperfection.

 

3. THE ROAD IS LONG

Motherhood is a marathon not a sprint. The challenges, the exhaustion, the learning … it doesn’t stop when you baby is 6 months, one year or even two years. I am nearly 11 years into this journey. The challenges are simply different now, what fuels my exhaustion has changed, and I am still learning so much every single day.

My island swim friends and I are catching a water taxi across to Auckland for the race.
I have been pretty quiet in the lead up to this swim because I wasnt sure I was going to be able to do it (grrr ... injury) but yesterday I decided I was still going to have a go, even if I just swim super slow and gentle.
You see, a beautiful soul I used to paddle with in Sydney was killed in an accident 2 weeks ago ... leaving behind young children and her wonderful husband. Tomorrow her funeral will be held in Sydney.
Tomorrow I choose to swim ... because I can. And I want to really feel gratitude for that fact and send love from the ocean across the ditch to all who will miss her. πŸ’—πŸŠβ€β™€οΈπŸ’—
