Give Yourself Some Much Needed Love on Mothers Day - Kathy Caprino

Give Yourself Some Much Needed Love on Mothers Day Kathy and beloved daughter Julia in Cape Cod Happy Mothers Day (for those who celebrate it today)!       Mothers Day for many is a time of honoring and appreciating our mothers and what they have done for and given to us.       I think its a fabulous time too to appreciate how we have mothered our own lives; how we have nurtured, cared for and brought our own selves into being.   So often we focus on what isnt going well, or how we are flawed as individuals and parents, and we rarely hug ourselves and say Job well done!   When we do allow in some praise, its usually because others have given us recognition for something outward weve done.     Today, Id love us to support a new tradition of being grateful for ourselves just as we are, flaws, foibles, and all.   Heres an inner affirmation that I find helpful to say:   I am a loving  and nurturing mother to myself and others.   I  always do  the best I can.    I am aware of my gaps and dedicate myself to my continued  growth.    I am growing in my love and acceptance of myself and others each day.   Dont beat yourself up for what you arent.   Let your light shine through you ARE without a doubt special, important and valuable in this world.   So in honor of Mothers Day, embrace your power to create positive change in the world and lovingly mother yourself and your life by: Committing to positive growth in your life, each day Watching over your ideas and your endeavors with love and care Protecting yourself and your visions from those who criticize and tear you down, and who would keep you smaller than you wish to be Birthing your BIG dreams launching yourself in a bigger way into the world Nourishing yourself nurturing your physical and emotional well-being Take today to honor not only your beloved mother and all those who have nurtured your spirit, soul and creative endeavors, but also yourself.   Give yourself the same amount of love and care that you lavish on others.     Thank you for reading and sharing, and being part of my community. Im so appreciative!   Happy Mothers Day with love.
