In the life of a working mom,
We can often feel like we're failing at work and at home.
This meditation is designed to remind you that you are enough,
Mama,
No matter what.
First,
Close your eyes,
Feel the chair,
The floor,
And the earth supporting you.
And take a deep breath in and a deep breath out.
Now open yourself to the idea that you are,
Indeed,
Enough today.
You got this,
Mama.
This thing called parenthood,
This thing called life,
Called friendship,
Called career.
You don't have to please everyone to be enough.
Heck,
You don't need to please anyone to be enough.
You just are.
What you've accomplished today is already enough.
What you've accomplished this week is already enough.
What you've done in your career is already enough.
What you've been able to do in this one wild and crazy life is already enough.
Enough doing,
Enough accomplishing,
Enough checks off the to-do list.
It's time to be enough because you already are.
Don't change a thing,
Mama,
And you are enough.
Sufficient,
Complete,
Perfect,
Beautiful.
Ever-growing,
Ever-changing,
Yes,
But enough at each phase,
Each stage,
Each breath,
Each hug,
Each love.
Sometimes you may see disorder and chaos,
Never-ending to-do lists,
Dishes that refill the sink ad nauseum,
But even through all that,
You have done enough.
You will keep moving,
Growing,
Living,
Mothering,
Cleaning,
Working,
Playing,
Whether you worry about it or not,
Plan it all out,
Or belittle yourself about it.
You will keep on keeping on,
Well-being enough,
Truly.
Trust yourself,
Mama.
Trust your intuition,
Your sense of smell,
Your sense of politics,
Your heart,
Your good intentions,
Your growth,
Your family.
Love it all and trust that you got this.
You are a pretty awesome mother,
Woman,
Grower,
Lover,
Friend,
Wife,
Neighbor,
And colleague,
My dear sweet mama.
You deserve to believe this about yourself and to know in your heart of hearts that you don't need to be fixed,
Perfected,
Corrected,
Brought down a peg,
Or taught a few things.
You are already enough.
Whether you meditate today or not,
Whether you do that work assignment or cook that meal today or not,
Whether you cry today or not,
Laugh today or not,
Whatever happens today or tomorrow or the next day,
You got it.
You will keep getting it.
I send big hugs to you,
My dear sweet mama.
You are enough.
