Oh mama, your pain is palpable. It’s time to turn the definition of ‘selfish’ on it’s head. It is not selfish to go inward and focus on our own mental and emotional health in this crisis. It’s all we have control over. You dear mama, are not crazy. The WORLD has collectively gone crazy and it can trigger such cognitive dissonance within ourselves. You’re a fiercely loving mom who wants to protect her kids. It’s primal. It’s how we are made. This being said, unfortunately we often have no control over others, even our kids. Our control lies within. Who do we want to be during this crisis? How do we want to show up? What would our highest selves think, feel and do? You can choose to be compassionate and gentle with yourself. You can practice showing up in a way that empowers you and is in alignment with your values. You’re the mama. You have the power to create the standard, tone and culture within your family and relationship with your child. If I may, I suggest accessing your intense emotions and first learning how to de-escalate your nervous system so you can find some relief in your suffering. It’s then you can begin to cleanly answer the questions I posed above and move forward in your faith as well. You’re love is FIERCE. 🌹
