Am I doing Enough??

Let me accept it. I am a Mom first, and an entrepreneur later. So when my younger son fell ill last week, it played havoc on me and my schedule. And of course, my blogs, my venture, and me took a back seat.

I am still struggling to get back. I had three blogs to tend to, a Meditation circle to run, preparation for a training I need to conduct. The list went on. 

Even when I am not derailed by illnesses, school holidays, etc, I still struggle to keep up. There are always a million things to do. And I find myself asking this question...

Funnily, it isn't restricted to myself or my venture. I ask myself..

Am I doing enough for my kids?
Am I doing enough for my husband?
Am I doing enough for my parents and in-laws?

And the list goes on.

Now , as a question on it's own, it's a perfectly good one. It encourages introspection. And if we are honest with ourselves, we can surely come up with answers.

BUT.....

If it only stayed as a question, it would be ok.

for eg; Am I doing enough?- YES- Great! Continue what you are doing!

Or Am I doing enough?- NO- OK, What else can I do?

If Only, we could be so objective about it!

This soon gets transformed into a statement, a mantra that keeps chanting in my head!

I'm not doing enough
I'm not doing enough
I'm not doing enough....

And when that happens, It's a downward journey anyway.....

After years of working on myself, and with my clients, I know my way to climb back up.
One can argue, that there is always scope for improvement in life, and we may never really feel satisfied with our efforts in any project.

However, I ask myself ; Don't I owe it to myself to encourage Me? Yes, Who else do you think will encourage you?

You are YOUR own cheerleader, Chief Motivator, and so on!!

So it's my choice really?

Do I want to beat myself down, and move further into inaction?

OR

Can I encourage myself, and start from where I currently am?

What will you choose?

So, just to humour me, DO this..

Take a deep breath...and TELL YOURSELF...

I AM DOING ENOUGH....

I AM DOING THE BEST I CAN...

I KNOW I CAN ACHIEVE WHAT I SET OUT TO....

I feel liberated each time I do this. Because, truly,I am doing Enough!

So dear Mommies, and dear momtrepreneurs, You are doing enough. You juggle multiple roles in a flash, and do a million jobs in one...nurse wounds, manage the house, tend to your business, be a pillar to your husband, and I could go on and on.....

There's a song that's been on my playlist lately..If you still aren't convinced...give it a listen..

and of course it's called, I'M ENOUGH!!!

Love,

Momtrepreneur..
