Nowadays,
almost all mothers suffer from the Super Mom Syndrome
to some extent. Not only do they have to so much at
home and with the family, many of them also hold down
a full-time or part-time job that keeps them away
from home for many of their waking hours. And a large
number are also single moms, making this even more
of a problem.
But nobody
can do all of those things without it taking a toll
on them. Trying to be a super mom often results in
undue physical or emotional suffering and stress-related
conditions. Many moms try and succeed, while others
are not successful at it. While it may not seem fair,
most likely personality plays a large part in a woman's
success as a supermom.
So... are
YOU trying to be one of those super moms? Do YOU suffer
from Super Mom Syndrome? If so, here are a few supermom
survival ideas to help you make it through the years
until your kids are grown and life can settle down
some.
1. Find
a balance. Prioritize only the things that truly are
important... namely, your children. Before you know
it, they will be all grown up and you will be wishing
for the childhood years again. If housecleaning or
dressing to perfection has to suffer a little, so
be it.
2. Maintain
your health. Anyone who suffers from recurring health
problems will tell you that the value of your health
is much more important once you have lost it. Remember
to take time for yourself.
3. Live
within in the moment. Keep your friends close, cherish
your family, don't worry about tomorrow. Don't let
the Super Mom Syndrome keep you from enjoying life
and living it to the fullest. Enjoy your children
while they are growing up.
While these
suggestions may seem trite or pithy, take them to
heart. Try to follow them as much as possible. You
won't be successful at it everyday... but there's
always tomorrow.
If you
get nothing else out of this article, remember this
one thing - YOU, Super Mom, are the heart of your
family. You don't need to be perfect; you just need
to be a Mom.
