You're The Right Mom For Your Kids: Bite Size Pep Talks Just For You by Christy Thomas   Want to try a coaching call-- sign up for a free 30-minute call: https://calendly.com/christythomas/exploratory-call-free   Are you holding your breath?  Let's pause for a moment and check in with our bodies together. New Year but same me.  I'm going to love myself more. Let myself feel seen.  Help my body and mind and soul be safe.  I am going to be secure that I am just the right human to be alive right now.    You're The Right Mom For Your Kids: Bite Size Pep Talks Just For You by Christy Thomas

Move into 2024 with a Plan Sign up for 30-Days of Laughter: https://christythomascoaching.com/landing/january24 When I say plan I mean make room for anticipation.  We have all had an unplanned day and wondered where all the hours went.     You are a fantastic mom and an amazing human.  You have so many choices, and I love moving because it reminds me of all the options I have in life.    We are MOVING into a new year. Let’s take a few tips from moving cross country to help us    Review Your stuff –Look at your photos of 2023. What needs printing? What’s the theme? What was the best of the best each month?     Tend to important documents –Transfer your calendar/ planner.  Take yourself on a date for this task.   Dream– Talk about the upcoming year with others. When you move, the fun part is all of the options.  The overwhelming part is the options, too, so take the time to figure out what matters to you.  Will a word of the year help?  Big, scary goals like 75 hard or running streak or a giant book goal?   Anticipate and sign up.  There are no big giant goals this year. 30-day stretches with intention.  My word this year is process.  You can use that word in many ways, and I want to use it in all of the ways.  But for now.  I’m leaning into process vs outcome.  I can control so few things in life.  That's what 2023 taught me.  How little I have control and how fun it is to have your hands wide open.   Jump in– Be a beginner– get lost.  Make mistakes.  Get messy. The goal of 2024 isn’t an outcome but the becoming.   January 30 day goal– Laughter every day.  This one has been on my list for a while and I saved it for the most serious month I know.  It is the month where everyone wants to go hard and improve themselves.  I want to laugh.  I have a book to read, articles picked out, a couple of YouTube videos, and some family-friendly comedy specials. Motherhood is way too serious to be serious all of the time.  Goal– Laugh every day – if I don’t feel like laughing, my option is to practice laughing for 5 minutes.   Children 300 times a day, adults 17.5    Family Fun: Watch a funny movie or TV show.  Let your kids see you let down your hair.  Ask them if they know if you like silly things.   Self-Care: Review your photos from 2023 and sign up for 30 Days of laughter. https://christythomascoaching.com/landing/january24 Grab a copy of Christy's Book-- You are the Right Mom: Bite Size Pep Talks Just For You: https://amzn.to/3RnNQBY Find me on Instagram:  Christy Thomas — Coach for Exhausted Moms (@everyday_christy) • Instagram photos and videos .

366.  YOU'RE THE RIGHT MOM: Bite-size pep talks just for you by Christy Thomas PRE ORDER NOW: https://amzn.to/3RnNQBY   My name is Christy. I am a teacher and have worked with kids and parents for 30 years. It has never been easy for me to mother. We’ve had quite a few unexpected hurdles. Through that experience, I’ve learned self-compassion, mindfulness, and human-centered mothering that sees me as a person with needs and priorities.  In November 2018, we moved again to a new town where I didn’t know anyone. On a whim, I recorded a podcast and uploaded it before we headed off to the children's science museum. This book is a celebration of that boldness. When it started, it was called Everyday Motherhood. During the great shutdown of 2020, I changed the title to Keep Calm Mother On. Each episode has always ended with a self-care and family connection play idea. I want it to be practical and helpful for you, the voice I wish I had found when my husband was on his first deployment, and I had two toddlers at home.    Put your hand on your heart with me and breathe. You are doing a good enough job.    Don’t give up. I am so lucky to mother shoulder to shoulder with you right now. I am glad you are here.       Self-Care: What would it look like to play?  For 5 minutes? 10? 60? 90?  What does play look like for you and not your kids.    Family Fun:  Go grocery shopping as a family to buy food to donate to others.    Find me on Instagram: Christy Thomas — Coach for Exhausted Moms (@everyday_christy) • Instagram photos and videos.
