Q: What is the best gift I can give myself?
Answer from Parent Coach and A Wild Ride creator/author Mary Scribner:
A: What a great question! I think the very best gift you can give yourself is the gift of self compassion. If you are like most moms you have more to do in a day than you can possibly accomplish and at the end of that day, you may blame yourself for not doing it all. Don't beat yourself up when your circumstances don't meet your ideal or your self-imposed standards. Give yourself a break and instead ask your tired spirit what it needs. How about some understanding? Some nurturing? Some self respect? Shift your critical thinking to appreciating all that you have done. Focus on the positive and be grateful for all that is possible.
