Feel Good School Mom is doing something that has never been done before – it is time to rewrite the unwritten rules of being a school mum.
Feel the relief as you realise that being a school mom just got easier. There has never been a better time to be a school mum.
Feel Good School Mom is here with a fresh new update for being a school mum with an everyday school run life that is filled with positive kinder real-life expectations that take the pressure off, relieve the stress, diminish the judgement of ‘compare and despair’ and the ‘struggle of the juggle’, and help make everyday life and school runs more enjoyable – yes it is possible and it is time for school moms to enjoy everyday life balance with some ‘glow and flow’ – yes bring it on!
It is time for positive change at the school gates and to throw out the old-fashioned unwritten rule book of being a school mum which thrives on:
Differences that divide school mums which include the judgements, the categories and pigeon holes of school mums who stay at home, those who work in a paid job, those who volunteer, those who don’t, those who do after school activities, those who don’t. Up until now school mums have been stuck in so much ‘judge & grudge’ and ‘compare and despair’ - feeling better or less than other school mums.
Old fashioned ideas, expectations and definitions of what it means to be a 'perfect school mum' that are still kicking around in the school mum playground of life, such as school mums thinking and expecting to do everything and to do it ‘perfectly right’ for everyone else with no time left over for herself, having such high unrealistic expectations and being so hard on herself.
Always staying busy and feeling guilty or ‘unproductive’ for taking time to sit down, to rest, to stop, to do things for herself, living a ‘struggle of the juggle’ lifestyle.
Never enough – time, herself, anything really, her best is never enough, considered ‘just’ a school mum, feeling unimportant, and smiling her way through it.
I wondered… what if we changed that.
What if we didn’t have to make a choice about:
what type of school mum we are,
or devalue our individuality trying to all be the same,
or make decisions that are loaded with insecurity, guilt, worry, self-doubt and stress for school mums?
What if we could break free of the outdated definitions of being a school mom which are drowning in judgement?
Ohyesss we can do it!
And so it is time for positive change, and Feel Good School Mum is here to help make it happen.
Feel Good School Mum is here to trail blaze the possibility for a new way of thinking that supports us as individuals as well as being part of a group of mums. This is where there is an opportunity to lose the judgments and ‘compare and despair’ where our differences divide us, and replace it with a new way of being a school mom where our differences bring out our best and help us to be our individual self and at the same time be an ‘individual and connected together’ – at the school gate or wherever we are.
This allows us to think that each of us being different is a healthy normal fantastic part of being a school mum who is an individual, and at the same time realising that school mums are an amazing group of individual women somehow connected by the reality that we are all going through similar things in our everyday life.
What if school mums and the school gates could be a sanctuary of trust and acceptance of individuality – safe in the knowledge that judgement is a thing of the past. OMG the world will change overnight!
To all of the past unwritten school mum rules I say
“So Very What – SVW’
It is time for positive change.
Feel Good School Mom is the beginning of new feel-good thoughts – which are not rules but realistic expectations - that you choose, you make, you write for yourself as a school mum, which suit you, and set you free as a school mum – as an amazing person - to make your everyday life easier.
Feel Good School Mom has created a brand-new definition of being a school mum with 6 new ways that have worked for me.
Definitions, rules, rule books – they are essentially another word for expectations.
These are for you to enjoy and use, adapt or create your own.
All of this change is to feel good in who you are as you, as an individual person and who you are as a school mom.
It is time for new and exciting ways to think about being a school mum that make you feel good.
