Leaning into the struggle

Image
Have you ever had the experience of pushing your body to do something really hard?  Maybe it's running or lifting weights.  Maybe it's being in a zumba class or hiking a steep mountain.  You get to the point where your lungs feel like they're on fire and your legs turn to jello.  For me it's yoga- seeing how long I can hold a pose while my body shakes with the effort. Isn't it strange that somehow doing something so hard can actually feel good?  I've heard people say "It hurts so good!" as they lean into the struggle and push a little harder. There is something so rewarding about pushing your body to its limits, knowing that the very act of struggling is making you stronger. So many of us are willing to lean into a physical struggle- we even pay money for opportunities to be physically challenged!  But when it comes to emotional struggles, we want to turn and run! When situations arise that are emotionally challenging, our brains freak out a l...

How to be a great mom

Image
I have honestly had this thought before:  "I could be the  best  mom if I only my kids would leave me alone and let me get some things done!" It sounds so ridiculous when I say it out loud!  But it felt pretty reasonable at the time.  I had such a deep desire to be a great mom, and some pretty elaborate visions of what that looked like! In my mind, a great mom fed her kids healthy, home cooked meals.  She had systems for chores, so not only would the house stay clean, but the kids would be learning valuable skills along the way.

Two ways to do laundry

Image
With seven children, you can imagine the amount of laundry I have done in my life.  It's one of those chores that is never really done, no matter how much time I spend on it.  And while it's not the chore that I hate the most, it does feel like laundry is always hanging over my head, so to speak. Sometimes when I'm folding laundry, I give my brain something to keep it busy, like listening to a book or podcast.  But when I don't... my brain has a default script that it likes to replay.  I think thoughts like, "Why do they always leave their socks in a ball when they take them off? Gross! Now they're still crusty when I open them up!" Or "This shirt is still folded!!!  He just threw it back in the laundry so he wouldn't have to put it in his drawer!"  Or "How in the world do I have this many towels to fold??  I know there were not this many showers taken this week!"  I spend my laundry time thinking about how annoying it is th...
