Feeling like you're being pulled in every direction every day? This mantra is for you: "There is only one of me."
If you feel like you're pulled in all different directions on the daily, this month’s mantra is for you.
The tasks and to-dos that come with being a full-time working mom can be overwhelming. You probably feel like you’re behind or that you’re forgetting something like picture day or pajama day at school.
If you can relate, here are three tips that can help when you feel scattered and overwhelmed.
Be realistic about your workload (both the visible and mental workload). The journaling prompt below can help.
Stop comparing yourself to other people. We’re all in our own unique situations, so it’s not fair that our default is to compare ourselves with others. Spend more time focusing on your own path rather than getting caught up in someone else’s.
Remember there is only of one of you. You are a totally unique individual and you will never be replicated, so take care of your mind, body and spirit. The tips and tools on this website can help you get started.

Journal About It: There Is Only One of Me
Get your journal and a pen and find a quiet spot. What’s one thing you can remove from your schedule right now? Get excited to delete it! Note: Just because you take something off your schedule, doesn’t mean you need to add something in its place. Less can be more.
