Well, it depends on how you’re looking at it.
I used to think that my special day relied on what my family did or how well the plans came to pass- which you all know that is a recipe for disaster. However crazy, albeit subconscious, tactic this is, we all go after this mode of thought every year; sometimes the day is wonderful, sometimes it’s not. If you’re like me, we remember the “it’s not” days a lot more, than the wonderful ones.
But how do we just relax and have a good day no matter what? With so many external circumstances and other people (our own husband and kids) that can make or break the day, how do we come to the place where we are unmoved by everything else and come to a decision to enjoy the people that made you a mother in the first place?
Well, being a mom of so many I’ve learned some things and I learned them the hard way, but if I can save you from Mother’s Day suicide, well, it’s all good.
My first hack- I changed my mindset. This day is a day for me to love on my family. Though I do this all the time, on Mother’s Day, I will make a special effort to make it about how much I am truly blessed. #blessed
Next, I plan it out. I envision how I’d love my day to go from the time I get up until the time I go to bed. This is my mode of operation for the Planner Perfect method for everyday, but this day is extra special because, well, I’m not adding laundry on this day…see where I’m going with this? HA! I write what I’d like for breakfast, for lunch, where and what I’d like to do and how I’d like my dinner plans and evening to go. Then, you know what I do now?
