I hope you find something you Dig, One Love!

When you don’t feel appreciated on Mother’s Day take a deep breath, I promise it’s going to be okay. When you feel underappreciated, under-celebrated, misplaced, disrespected, take a long pause and walk away, I promise it’s going to be okay. When you feel un-heard or just frustrated, take a moment to cool down and meditate, I promise it’s going to be okay. There were many years where this holiday made me feel resentful, aggrivated, angry, unappreciated, frustrated, unloved. Then there were years where all I wished for was a phone call. I promised myself a long time ago after many missed moments with my son, that even if the day is not going as I imagined I will decide to walk in love not in frustration or hate. It is easy to set up expectations for others, and what it should look like for them to celebrate us.... But stop, wait, we don't get to decide that.... Keep reading love, and I'll tell you why. #1 - Take a Look into the Mirror Take a look in the mirror and appreciate yourself, appreciate those babies, and appreciate all you do, have done, are currently doing, and hope to do. Recite a Gratitude List for all that you have and all you are grateful for! Recite an Affirmations List starting with I am an amazing Person, I am a Loving Mother, I am Kind, I am genuine…. and so on. Sometimes it just has to come from us to us, you dig? #2 - Today is the day to celebrate what it means to be a Mother! What's your Definition? Definition 1 of a Mother in 2023 is practically a Super-Human Super-Hero that goes above and beyond 1000%, 365 days’ out of the year, no complaints, no worries, and keeps herself in pristine Mom mode for when anything might come up…. Right?... Wrong….. Definition 2 of a Mother in 2023 is a conscious, loving, true to self, genuine, caring, fun, confidant, who gives all of her love and affection to her children/babies/family. So which definition are you trying to uphold? Not to have our loved ones meet some unrealistic, most times un-voiced, expectation of this “perfect day”, where they cherish us, and grovel at our feet, say how amazing we are and drop everything to do what we want, is a reflection of that unrealistic definition. It’s a recipe for disaster, dissatisfaction, and disappointment if we think we are “owed” something for Mother’s Day. However, if we can reframe our thinking to reflect the more genuine definition of a mother. Start at the baseline of just being grateful, appreciative, loving, kind, joyous, and thankful then that my dear MAMA is a recipe for a beautiful day. Your family may even be a little shocked that you’re not going around demanding Mother’s Day attention, or this or that’s from them, when instead you greet your children with a loving hug and a kind word. "I suppose it is tempting, if the only tool you have is a hammer, to treat everything as if it were a nail" – Maslow #3 - Lovingkindness Suggestions on How to Celebrate Oneself: When Feeling Unappreciated on Mother's Day. #4 Lovingkindness Suggestions on how to Celebrate yourself today for Mother’s Day 2023: Love...... Love, Love, Love, Today especially should be filled with feelings of Love. It’s all about loving ourselves first, loving our children, our children's children, then sending lovingkindness to all, and loving those who fill our hearts and lives with joy. With Love all things come alive, but with expectations love is weakened. At the end of the day if none of that worked and your family forgot about Mother’s Day and you spent it alone or there were other circumstances that happened that you couldn’t be with your children, or it was just not what you expected, breath, I promise its okay. You are beautiful, you are strong, you are genuine, you are loving, you are incredible, and you are a Mother. #5 - Go Back to that Mirror On Mother’s Day 2023 you can say that you allowed yourself a shift in mindset, to say that "Everything does not have to go your way for things to actually go your way."
