Are you ‘that’ millennial mother?

As a millennial mother I had problem with every other solution. Indeed, after a long time, I discovered something, I wish I had known earlier, my path was so pursued, that after following these, I found myself predictably happy and feeling better about myself. Hope these points helps you too.

You can do ANYTHING, but NOT EVERYTHING:

One common problem with millennial mothers is that they (or better, we) want everything in life ‘instantly’. Start a start-up, look perfect, get rid of those stretch marks, chase that missed promotion (with enough pondering over the feeling — “I have wasted a one year in my career already”), earn the best, be independent and be a helicopter mother. Chill, let’s go one by one to help you accomplish everything gradually.

“I have wasted a one year in my career already, I have to work hard from day one”

1) Have a goal set for 12 months

2) Work on that every month, every week and every day. This helps you to get started at something.

3) Break them into small chunks. This can keep you accomplished, and I bet, the progress will keep you motivated.

Stress is an absolute choice:

If you ever feel stressed out, it is only because, you chose to accept it. Stress is such a loosely used term with the millennial, we forget life is a simple story and we insist on making it complicated. If you try to look and be the best on day one, I am sure stress will be your best companion. All of us should downplay that cutthroat culture of winning all races on day ONE.

Make sure your husband and your manager are involved in the process

Involve and include your eco-system in the process. That includes your husband and your manager, as they both play a key role in your transition. Talk to your husband about the shared responsibilities.

Understand we’re not an octopus with eight tentacles to do everything!

Slow down to go faster:

In a millennial’s world of instant gratification and unlimited choices, we often find ourselves with a sea of options and a mountain of opportunities. But at this stage slow down a bit, you’ll find thousands of reasons to quit every single morning, our brains are wired in a way to not take up even a single small pain, how you’re coming out of it despite all the challenges is the real question, choose to go slow, and you’ll see that it’s not as difficult as you thought.

If you never go, you will never know!

Go forward by going backwards. The further backward you can go, the further you can see

Always start fresh, ask for help and the Universe has its responsibility to help you out.

Meditate and listen to your yourself:

Talk to your spouse, that will enrich your relationship, spend time with the baby, that will increase the bonding.

But never forget to talk to YOU.

Who can take a more personal space with you than yourself? Calm down and start investing in yourself.

Finally but definitely find a mentor and ask her how did she handled this phase, try to set up follow-up meetings, trust me a lot of people are genuinely interested in other’s success.

But know that until you do, no one else would, and no one else must. No matter what!

Get up, dress up and show up, because you know who is watching you :)
