Welcome again to Why Moms Need Happy Projects- in this blog series I share inspiration and reasons to help you start a happy project. Find the collection of stories here.
What prevents us from starting something new today - such as a habit, hobby or perhaps a business? If I told you this was my 3rd blog, in the last 10 years, would you believe me? I researched "what stops us from starting something new?" Most common answers were (1) simply not starting and (2) fear. Both extremely familiar, so instead of expanding on these, I'm simply going to share with you my favorite 2 TIPS to help you!
Tip 1: Reflecting via Journaling- Sometimes we need to see it to believe it. At my local HomeGoods, I found a calendar+journal hybrid! Wow, yes, I still need to write things down - I wrote weekly, goals, thoughts, hopes, lists. Also, wrote where I started, so every week, I get reminded to be patient and perseverance. Here are some journals I found on Amazon.
Tip 2: Accountability- Sharing is caring, helpful, and encouraging. When I get messages from Moms (my new virtual friends) saying they too relate, they help me more than I help them. Tip #2 is to share your thoughts & hopes of the new project or habit with your significant other (such as: mom friends, spouses, sisters/brothers/parents and best friends). I shared these projects with my whole family, and wow, first time I do it, and first time I stuck to it. How many of you have tried this?
Now it's time to share great examples and inspirations - meet my supermoms from today's blog and see how they are spending their energy in their happy projects. Let's cheer them on by visiting their sites and feel free to drop a superhero emoji 🦸 in one of their posts!
