Your Worth As A Mom

It’s based on how much you love.

It’s based on how much you love.

It’s based on how much you love.

It’s based on how much you love.
Your worth, as a mom, is not based on what college your teen attends.
It’s based on how much you love.
Your worth, as a mom, is not based on your teen at all.
Your worth is based solely on how much you choose to love.
Do you love with a heart overflowing with acceptance?
Acceptance for who your teen is, rather than who you envisioned them to be?
Do you love from a place of patience and understanding?
Patience for those hard moments where our teen needs an abundance of support and a safe place to go to for nourishment?
Do you love with a heart filled with gratitude?
Gratitude for learning each day and delighting in all that our teen can teach us?
Do you love from a place of comfort?
Comfort to embrace your teen with the confidence they need to move forward in this chaotic world they are navigating?
But moms, also ask yourself this…
Do you love from a space where you love yourself as well?
Because if you don’t love yourself, how are you going to love your teen the way they need you to love them?
You need to find love, deep within yourself, in order to shine it on to your teen.
You need to feel worthy for being you, the phenomenal woman you are.
You need to fill up your emotional cup each day, even on the days you don’t have a moment to spare.
You need to invest time in things you are passionate about and things which bring you joy and fulfillment.
Then and only then, will you be able to project out onto your teen the love that also allows you to feel worthy.
This love is based on the intense love you have for your teen but also for yourself.
So moms, let go of trying to validate your worth based on your teen. Focus on the love you have to offer and how this love, emanating from your soul, is truly what your worth is based on.
Let go of finding your worth within someone else.
Let go of basing your worth within someone else’s happiness.
And finally, open your heart up to believing that your worth has nothing to do with the kids you are raising and rather it’s all about how much you love them.
You are worthy!
