How to Be a Confident Mom

Here’s how you can bring out the beautiful confident mom that is already within you and let her shine!

1. Let go of Expectation and Perfection

Allow yourself to be perfectly imperfect. Here’s a little secret: Your kids do not need you to be a perfect mom. They need you to be yourself. They will learn how to fall and get back up with grace from watching you. They will learn that it is okay to be your authentic self.

They will learn to be confident and loving all from watching you. This is not to add any pressure to you as a parent. This is simply to say that you are the parent your child needs.

Just be authentically you!

2. Drop Judgement and Comparison

With social media, it can be tempting to compare ourselves to others. Keep in mind that when people post online they are usually only posting the “picture perfect” moments to share with the world.

It may help to back away from social media from time to time and do a little digital detox.

3. Make Self Care a Priority

Self care and self love are getting a lot of attention these days, and for good reason! Taking care of ourselves not only helps us to live joyful lives, it also helps us to share the joy and love we are experiencing with effortless grace.

10. Allow Yourself to be Playful with Your Kids
