How to be a superwoman?

You’re asking for a lot from yourself:) I’m a working mum trying to balance all these too, and I’ve learnt a few things: 1) Focus on what you’re doing at that moment, giving it your 100%, then let it go once you’re done so that you can give your 100% to the next thing. For eg. At work, do well, never giving an excuse that you’re not as competent because you’re a mum. Let your colleagues and bosses see your value as a worker. But once you get home, don’t do any work while you’re spending time with your baby/husband. Focus on them 100%. 2. We all fail in achieving our goals sometimes. When that happens, cut yourself some slack. You’re already wonder woman for doing everything you’re doing. Sometimes I think I really suck (both at work and home), and then my colleagues come up to me and encourage me, saying that they have no idea how I’m managing such difficult work and also taking care of my family.. that they can’t even take care of themselves, let alone other people 😅. And my husband has also been wonderful in encouraging me. Sometimes, we need to see what we’re doing from other people’s eyes to realise that we’re actually doing okay. 3. Self care is unbelievably important. Spending time and taking care of our family is very important too, but showing ourselves love is essential to doing this for the long haul. This can come in many forms, eg. Sleeping, eating well, relaxing (whether shopping/massage/watching korean dramas, etc). 4. Don’t set unrealistic targets. Because as mothers, we try to hit all our targets, and disappointing ourselves sets up a vicious cycle that leads to sef loathing. Rather, take joy in all the little achievements, even if it’s something like managing to capture a good picture of you and baby after 50 shots 🤣 Motherhood is really tough but it’s such a joy too! I’m a working mother with 2 kids, and I’ve made many sacrifices for both family and my work at different points in time. But I have no regrets. And I think my kids love me as much as I love them. My husband too 😉 Protecting the marriage is the most important thing in parenthood, in my opinion. Because this forms the foundation of security for the children. All the best and may you find lots of joy and love in this journey!
