Mama's Daily Dose

The original says "don't, " but when we are talking about creating habits and going after you goals...it's that small stuff you need to sweat.

Helping people out, acts of kindness and good deed are awesome; but there's more to it than that!
What affects whether a person feel gratitude or not? If the they feel more gratitude or less gratitude.
There are 2 factors that affect how you feel gratitude when others perform good deeds:
1. Perceived intention of the benefactor (the one doing the good deed)
2. The perceived value, or the cost to the benefactor
So if you are out there doing a "good deed" that is really to benefit you - people know that, including your kids!
For a person to feel the most gratitude for a good deed they need to know the intention of the person was pure , they really are trying to help and not simply for selfish reasons. And there is a value to the good deed or cost to the benefactor; whether that be time, money or energy.
The next time you do a good deed - evaluate how the person receiving it will look at the intention and the value.

Is there something that your kid does that bothers the sh*t out of you?
Do they constantly complain, whine, yell, make a mess?
This may sting....but it's most likely on YOU!
I know you are doing your best and being a mom is no easy task and you already have so much do and now you not only have to teach your kids but you have to look at your actions and change too!?! Damn, that's a lot!
But here's the good news. You are in control of YOU and therefore you have the ability to change not only yourself, but your kids too! You have the power to create your "I AM!"
Now you may not be the only parent here. I get that. But here's the thing...there's a few studies that show that your disposition and example of gratitude weigh much heavier than that of the Dad.
More responsibility and onus put on the Mom!?!?
Especially when it comes to gratitude (this month's theme) it was show that the mom's disposition to gratitude greatly impacted the biological child's. The dad's actually had no bearing at all!
I'm not trying to put more on you, I'm letting you know the facts. But this is actually great news too, because since you have control you can change it!

The 1 year celebration continues with a replay of one of my favorite podcasts!
REPLAY 85: You're going to get kicked in the balls
This is both a figurative and literal saying when you become a parent.
What is something they don't tell you about being a parent that you don't learn until you become a parent?
You can research, read the books, talk to other parents, consult experts but there are still unknowns in parenting. Some you don't know until you're in the thick of it!
Share with me on IG about what you learned when you become a parent and what they don't tell you before!
