From the inside looking out

From the day we are conceived we rely on our Mothers to keep us alive. We have total trust that they will get us to where we need to be. Then we are born and travel through the stages of life. We continue to put our trust in our Mother to carry us through life. When we are an adult we trust that our Mother will continue to love us, our partners and children no matter what. Mothers are a constant source of nurturing, comfort and unconditional love. I have been blessed to have a Mother who has provided all of this to me and more.

From the inside looking out I have noticed that without these critical components from our Mothers, developing an emotionally well rounded child is a challenge. I believe that there is a spirit of abandonment, which creates a domino effect of difficulties with intimacy, relationships and emotional issues throughout one’s life.

No Mother is perfect, and we all fall short and every child has different needs. How many times have you said or heard, ‘I don’t know what happened, ‘they have all been bought up the same way?’

The two important ingredients that all children need is, time and love. Mix these together and you will have a better chance of creating an emotionally intelligent and resilient human.

Money and material things will never make up for the lack of time and love, never.

Don’t waste your time feeling guilty or not good enough, we have ALL fallen short, but have tried our best. It’s never too late to stop what you are doing if it’s not working. Listen, be present, give your time freely and love with all your heart. None of us know what tomorrow will bring.

Make time to stop and reminisce on your mothering calling, take a look from the inside and you’ll see what you’re looking at, and you will see the fruits of your love and time. You will be surprised. Well done Mums 💖
