19 Its Easy to Get Off Track, but Heres How to Recover

06/04/18 • 26 min

When I feel down- whether because I’m angry, frustrated, disappointed, bored, etc. I tend to choose one of two things to focus on - 1. Isolating myself or 2. Comparing my life to others OR BOTH

When I isolate- Hello

Netflix binge
Junk food
Unnecessary sleep
Unreturned phone calls
Projects stall out
And more...

When I get into comparison-

I become hyper-critical of myself
I think too highly of what others are doing and too little of my own accomplishments
I get into an all or nothing mindset
I compete with others and act like there’s a trophy or prize to win
I either get prideful or false humility- aka insecurity and painful self-deprecating jokes

We’re clear on a few of the ways we can get off track. - But how can you get back on?

18 Allow Grace to Set the Pace

Have you ever met a mom and her life made your head hurt or you just felt tired?

She is a single parent, who works 2 jobs, is finishing her degree in school, and volunteers at church
OR she’s a stay at home mom who volunteers for every group or leads them, she exercises daily, and her house is decorated beautifully
OR any number of other things that make you feel like- What am I doing with my life?

So if you can’t figure out how that other mom is doing it, let yourself off the hook by acknowledging that you don’t have to know. It’s her measure of grace.

Grace-based mothering - what does that look like? On this episode of the Mentor 4 Moms Podcast with Susan Seay let's talk about this and more. And for more information - check out SusanSeay.com
