Priorities shift after motherhood.
That seems pretty obvious, but so many people experience drama about this.
Before kids, you were able to put your entire focus on your career.
After kids, you can't.
That doesn't make you bad at your job. That doesn't make you a bad mom. That doesn't make you anything really.
So many of us make this personal. Like the priority, shift means something about us...about who we are as a person.
When really it just means it's a moment to reassess.
It's a moment where we need to decide what is most important to us, now, and reorient our way of operating to put it first.
That doesn't necessarily mean "pull back" in your career...but it might mean learning how to be more effective so that it doesn't take as much time and energy.
It might mean learning how to say "no" to your boss so that you have less on your plate.
It might mean learning how to be ok with 90% finished vs 100%.
It might mean...
getting more creative
asking for help
not caring what others think
getting more decisive
ending negative self-talk
But none of that means anything about you, personally. It just means you are adjusting your way of life to accommodate a new set of priorities.
And that makes it less drama-filled and way more powerful.
So...what priorities need to change for you in this current season of life?
