Dear beautiful heart,
I hope you know how incredible you are.
Motherhood looks good on you,
Especially when you're trying to convince yourself otherwise.
This journey has so many dips and turns and peaks and lows and yet here you are,
Pouring your heart into this little human,
Filling their mind with songs and dreams and wonder and giving absolutely everything you have just to see a smile.
I hope you know that you are both love and loved and that your worth isn't measured by how many dishes will get done today or how put together life looks on the outside,
But rather it is found by how often you have clawed your way back to the soft spaces,
The messy spaces and let your authenticity shine by choosing to breathe there.
Please don't run.
There's still so so so much magic yet to arrive and I promise you that if you allow others to see you,
Really see you,
You inspire them to do the same.
You're learning to love yourself wildly in a world that can get so loud and that in itself is a superpower.
You can do the hard things and you matter.
You do.
Now I invite you to softly close your eyes.
Place one hand on your beautiful heart and the other on your tummy.
Take a deep breath in through your nose and slowly exhale through your mouth.
Take another deep breath in through your nose,
Exhaling out of your mouth.
And once more,
Take a deep,
Long breath in through your nose and slowly,
Softly,
Gently exhale through your mouth.
Now repeat after me,
Either out loud or inside your mind.
I am doing the best that I can.
I am a great mother.
I am learning and growing by the day.
I am safe and supported in my motherhood journey.
I am enough.
I am enough.
I am enough.
And so it is,
I invite you to return here to this soft space as often as you need,
Breathing in the love that surrounds you on this journey.
You're doing amazing mama.
You really,
Truly are.
