Motivational Monday: Making Mistakes

It's okay to make mistakes. We all make mistakes. (Even the sanctimommies.) 

In life (and ESPECIALLY in parenting), it's easy to be hard on ourselves for mistakes... to obsess over them.  After all, those little people that we are responsible for? Our mistakes affect them. Our mistakes can hurt them. 

But don't forget that you are human too. 

You are ever learning and ever growing. 

The human heart is resilient 

The next time you make a mistake, don't dwell on it.
  • Admit your mistake to your family...this may be hard conversation to have, but this teaches children a profound lesson about pride and the power of a (sincere) apology. 
  • Think about what went wrong. Did you yell because you were hangry? Did you neglect your own lunch in a rush to get housework done? Or were were snappy because you were rushing trying to get all of the errands done before dinner? Think about what you can do different or better next time. 
  • Ask forgiveness. It really does help heal the heart and rekindle an emotional connection. 

Remember, you are not alone

Look for an accountability partner: a spouse, an mom friend on the internet, a sibling or other relative. Sometimes just talking about mistakes and shortcomings helps make overcoming them easier. 

What do you do when you make a mistake? How do you keep your mistakes from dampening the joy in your life?
