It’s your year, momma. The year you will focus on being a happier, healthier version of yourself- both for your kids and for you!
This informational campaign comes to you in partnership with the Stark County Community Action Agency.
It’s a new year and we are gifted 365 beautiful new days to reset, relax, and recenter ourselves. This is the year you do it, mama. Whether it’s reclaiming some much-needed you-time, investing in your hobby or education, or simply revamping the way you gently parent your children. This is the year you’re going to make it happen.
Find a mantra for your year. Repeat after me:
Gratitude is my attitude.
It doesn’t have to be big! This year we’re grateful for that warm day we could send the kids outside to play or the cup of coffee you were able to enjoy with only one quick microwave heat-up.
I can do anything- but I can’t/shouldn’t do everything.
You are A M A Z I N G, but you are also human!
Me-time isn’t a hot shower or trip to the grocery store alone.
Invest in some you-time, mom. Book a pedicure. Find a quiet corner of the house and read the book you’ve been meaning to tackle. Heck, spend a night solo at the local hotel with your comfiest pajamas and some sushi takeout!
I am a GOOD mom have a BAD day.
You screamed at your kids? You were late for school pick-up? It’s ok. You messed up but you’re not a mess up. Tomorrow is a new day and you can handle it.
I am the perfect mom for my child/I am exactly who my baby needs.
It’s true- you were divinely created for one another. Will you doubt yourself and make mistakes? Absolutely. But you are exactly who your child needs.
The SCCAA Community Actions Pathway HUB is an available resource for pregnant and new mothers in need of support, education, and community services.
