I've been living my days as a full-time mum who plans certain outgoing activities on most days and managing her baby's needs to suit her plan. It stresses me out when my baby is not co-operating or not doing whatever it is I need him to do - whether it is eating, sleeping, keeping himself entertained, or simply staying inside his pram without complaint. That said, most of the things he does stresses me out!
On top of this, I would have times when I realised the tons of things I meant to do around the house but never got done.
I've been busy planning, day by day, to explore the world; to socialise and find friendships; shaping my new world as a stay-home mum. And I've often overlooked the simple things I need to keep up.
I overlook the little achievements that deserve to be noticed, by me.
So now it's TIME TO REFOCUS on the little things that matter.
- Fresh food I'm eating (hey, I made salmon soup today - awesome!)
- Baby gets his sleep (hey, he is still asleep INSIDE his cot - amazing!)
- Daily exercise (want to start taking him on a pram trip in the morning, to get him used to the pram!)
Ok. That's a great start to a new page.
A series of pages filled with the noticed small, consistent achievements.
I know that great things can be accomplished if the little things are done consistently.
Now the challenge is... to remember this.
