“I’m not one for New Year’s resolutions, but this year I’m making a “New Year’s DECISION”. I say decision because it’s a change I have to make, not just something I hope I can maybe make time for for one week then slowly stop. I need to be kind to myself. I need to stop looking in the mirror and making comments like “I’m gross”, I need to stop telling myself I am less than because I’m a stay at home mom, that I’m irrelevant or inadequate because of that. Quite frankly, this is the hardest thing I’ve done. And I need to stop telling myself I’m any lesser of a woman because I had to have not one but two emergency c sections. I now have two beautiful girls that see the way I talk to myself; it’s up to me to show them how important self love is. And that’s what I’m going to do. If i wouldn’t say it to my 5 year old self, I’m not saying it to my adult self. I was always so afraid to have girls, but now I’m starting to see God gave me these girls to show me how important it is to be kind to yourself.”
