There are easy methods you can employ starting today that will serve to instantly increase your happiness index so you can enjoy life and embrace your role as a mother.
Today's article will discuss one way to finding happiness and fulfillment being a mother. Let's begin with one basic question: What is happiness? It's not always easy to know when we are truly happy, especially if we are a mother. This is because so much of our life, time and energy is spent focused on the well being of others. We care for our family day in and day out, many times to the detriment of our own selves. We forget that we too are people in need of care just as are the rest of our family members.
The number one way for a mother to experience authentic happiness and personal fulfillment is to remember that we too are important. We must take time for our well being so we can experience our own happiness, not just living vicariously through the happiness of our husband and children. Now don't get me wrong, being happy when our kids are happy is a great way to feel genuine, authentic happiness ourselves. However, it's not the same feeling as when we do something for ourselves that makes us feel good.
The key to personal happiness is to ensure that our own happiness index remains elevated throughout the days. How to accomplish this? The quickest, most effective way is to set a goal for yourself and then work towards it. Believe it or not, we experience tremendous amounts of good feelings when we are working on achieving something. Choose something that has meaning for you, develop a plan, and begin chipping away at it little by little. It doesn't matter at all what your goal is. As long as it's something you are excited about pursuing it will do the trick.
You can begin a workout program at the gym, start writing a novel, take a class at a community center or the local college, tackle that project you've never gotten around to doing, plant and then maintain a garden, start a hobby, join a club, participate in an on-going team sport, paint, sculpt, learn how to cook, blog, make appointments to spend time with particular family members or friends, explore your family genealogy. The possibilities are endless.
If this task seems too daunting then just start out small. Set a very achievable goal, like going for a walk outside all by yourself for 20 minutes. Trust me, you'll feel great once it's accomplished! This one seemingly insignificant act is full of happiness boosters: being outside, grabbing some much needed alone time, exercising, and the act of completing a goal all serve to raise your happiness index.
Finding solace in the small things, discovering who you are, challenging yourself, working on your personal development, appreciating nature, seeking the good in others and in your surroundings, being intentional in your actions and thoughts, accepting yourself and others as they are, these are all steps to finding out the answer to our previous question of what is happiness and how to find authentic happiness in our lives as mothers.
