Alessandra | Posted on July 10, 2023 |

Warning: What you didn’t know about having a positive mindset. In this blog, I’m sharing how changing your mindset might just make you a better mom. Keep reading to change how you’ll view motherhood forever.

Having a more positive mindset and outlook on motherhood can be a complete game changer for you! If you’re like me, you liked to keep an open mind. And you’re super interested in changing the narrative around motherhood. A lot of the mindset you see on social media is negative. The “motherhood is so hard,” and “These kids don’t listen, they’re just bad,” and “Just wait until….” are all negative mindsets that drag mothers down and make them feel bad or scared of what’s to come.

What’s a negative mindset?

More negative mindset is all the crap about only having 18 summers with your kids, that they are only little for a short time, and by the time they are 5 years old you’ve spent something like 78% of all the time you’ll ever spend with them. Like how do things like that help anyone?! Well hey! I’m Alessandra, a stay at home mom of 3 kids and I’m changing the narrative. I share a much more positive outlook on motherhood because your kids aren’t disappearing at 18 years old and after 5 years old you still have lots of time to spend with them. Oh and you can truly enjoy being a stay at home mom, I promise.

In this blog I’m diving into what having a positive mindset might do for you…HINT: This is a fun read and a little unexpected.

Warning! Here’s What You Didn’t Know About Having A Positive Mindset

Let’s have some fun mama, because being a stay at home mom is challenging. But it doesn’t need to be all-consuming. We don’t need to dwell on the hard all the time. We can make motherhood feel easier. Being honest about motherhood is sharing the hard parts and it’s also sharing the amazing, joyful parts too!

1. You might feel less overwhelmed

Change your thoughts and you might be surprised that you stop feeling so overwhelmed by everything about mom life. Remember, nothing is happening to you, it’s happening for you! Nothing in motherhood is permanent, either! Seasons pass so quickly, even though in the moment it doesn’t feel that way. But motherhood is always changing and you are always able to make the changes you want to see. You’re in control!

2. You might feel happier

When you start getting ready for the day (yes this is a mindset shift!), motivating yourself, and taking care of yourself, you could start feeling happier! When you start using words like “must” and “get” you’ll be surprised how much i can affect your daily life.

3. You might be a better mom

When you change your mindset you might rise above what our culture says being a mom is, and become an even better version of yourself! That’s because you might allow yourself to actually enjoy mom life.

Do those 3 things make you want to shift your mindset to a more positive one? I mean what mom doesn’t want to feel less overwhelmed, happier, and be a better version of herself?! If you’re like yes, Alessandra, I want to make some changes ASAP, then read below for some mindset shifts you can start making today!

Positive Mindset Shifts For Moms

Challenge yourself to change your mindset to feel less overwhelmed. Here are a couple examples below: (You’ll get more perspective shifts like this in the Mindset Makeover download above!)

Instead of “I have to do so much laundry,” try this: “I must do the laundry!” (I also enjoy bribing myself, like if I fold the laundry then I can have some ice cream, read my book, or binge netflix. haha!)

And instead of “I’m such a bad mom,” try this: I’m a really great mom and I tried my best today!”

Instead of “I didn’t do enough with my kids today,” try this: “We did what we could today and we were together. That’s what matters!”

Final Thoughts

Motherhood isn’t meant to be a burden. Rise up against our cultural norms and shift your mindset. Simplify motherhood by knowing everything you do is enough. Always! This isn’t a rat race.
