Are you tired of turning your wheels, hoping one day things will become clearer?

The problem could be something as simple as not asking yourself the thought-provoking questions that will lead you to true discovery.

I know because I was there. 

I remember feeling lost and not knowing which direction was right for me. I was tired of taking chances and just going with the flow while everyone around me began to level up. 

It wasn’t until I started diving into my purpose and how it aligned with my core values that I finally found myself and trust myself.

 JOURNAL PROMPTS FOR SELF DISCOVERY 

Dive deep find out what you want out of life and why.

I know you want to find that part of your life that’s for you. You have children and they tend to take so much of your energy that you don’t leave yourself any. 

I know there are dreams and goals in your life that you want to tackle. 

You want to become successful but don’t know how or where to start. 

Not only because of time but because of the belief system we have adopted since having children.

Recreate the Story you Tell Yourself.

We all create this story in our head that we believe will happen or should happen. But, most of the time it’s to protect ourselves from the hurt and disappointment of letting down others. 

But, those story needs to be changed. And I give you permission!

So eliminate the story you tell yourself. 

• I can’t focus on myself until the kids are off to college
• I would get a better job, but what about daycare or the schedule
• Achieving your dreams with kids are nearly impossible 
• But, I want to share a few moms who have done it with kids.

Moms make the impossible, possible because we are resourceful

Besides, there are plenty of moms who rock. And trust me, they didn’t just wake up there. It’s a lot of effort, commitment, sacrifice, and dealing with mom guilt. 

I have a friend El Marsh a mom of 4 under five years old who runs her own party planning company.

Then there is Carly at mommyonpurpose.com whom I wrote an amazing guest post on C Section Recovery tips. She runs a blog and makes over 20,000 a month..blogging from home!

Jia on Marriage & Motherhood runs a YouTube channel teaching moms how to get out of debt.

And one of my favs, Mattie James, an Instagram influencer and mother of 3 who runs a business by advertising for brands.

The point is to let your kids be your motivation, not your limitation. #momswhohustle #mykidsaremymotivation #momboss #idothingsformykids Click To Tweet
