Key Takeaway
Being a parent entails believing everything must be accomplished perfectly and on time. This includes getting the kids ready in the morning and then lunch for everyone by noon. We do all of this while having nine-to-five and extracurricular activities. What’s more, we are committed to spending quality time with our children and making sure that all runs smoothly until bedtime.
It is almost like a ritual that we follow, to be productive all the time. This is why it is important to remind ourselves to be flexible as parents. It doesn't matter how much you plan, sometimes things just don’t work out and we must remind ourselves that it is completely okay not to meet all these expectations. It's okay to have that grace and prepare yourself ahead of time by focusing on your physical and mental wellness.
Know that you don't need to be perfect and that you can change your mindset by deciding to make a new choice. As a result, you have another opportunity to rearrange your mistakes and not be distressed about them. You can just breathe through them and be present.
