Reconnect With Your Dreams
Do not let go of your dreams, your hobbies and interests. I cannot over emphasise this. This is connected to your purpose and your purpose is who you are and what you came here to do on earth. This is what gives you meaning in life and connects you to God because no matter how much you run feom this, it keeps calling you to go back to your purpose. God put it in every person and we choose to follow this or not.
We create like our Creator. When we do not we often feel lost and irrelevant which is not trueand not accurate because God’s word clearly states who we are. We are wonderfully and fearfully made.
Sometimes we pass time in movies and they provide a great way for us to escape to a world where we do not participate and you can have a movie marathon the whole day and not participate in your own life. It is important to have time for your interests, hobbies that you can turn into dreams to give you purpose to serve in your abilities. The world needs your unique gifts and talents.
What would you do and just go on for days that makes you really happy?
I recall onetime in the office. I broke down and wondered how i have come this far in this life i really want to escape so badly. How did i get into accounting and ran with it yet its not my passion ( story for another day). I recall phoning my mom to ask her what i loved doing when i was 4- 8 years old and how i expressed it! I have watched our children with their different personalities. They love different things and its up to us as parents to notice such gifts at a young age and nurture them and not push them to be like other children. Every child is diffrent and it tells you we are all different.
Too often we go with the norm and do things because they are marketable and we want earn a living ignoring that the earth is the Lord’s and the fullnes thereof. What He put inside of you God will provide for it. Too otfen we allow fear to criple us and write our story. We are in a world now where we see there is more than the daily 9- 5.
Make time for things you love, practise doing them and the biggest thing holding us back is
- Starting
- Fear of failure
- What others may think of us
I remember growing up i would tell my dad that i am afraid people will laugh at me. He always had this answer until today ‘ so what if people laugh at you, does it matter Ntombi ( daughter)?’
We love different things, you would know better what you enjoy the most in your spare time.
I have been a girl in my younger years that loved dressing up, looking my best, and i grew up suppressing it to fit in because we grew up in a society that made not taking much care in your looks so cool. I loved reading books and making speeches. I grew up my dad would love how i would express myself and be very emphathetic towards people. I would treat people so well and always wanted the best for others. How i communicate with others has always mattered to me. I loved and enjoyed dancing, i would dance in the house with my brother.
Make time for the things that make your heart dance in a joyfull rythym.
Ecclesiastes 3:1
There is a time for everything and a season for every activity under the heavens.
Stay Productive
Stay as productive as much as you can. Do not wear yourself out. However involve yourself in your home and make it a priority to have activities you do with your family.
Its tougher to be productive at home during weekends as working parents because that is when we relax. I still sruggle with weekends too. However you can create a schedule that can be easy to follow so that you are able to engage with your family. I will be sgaring my journey in creating productive weekends with the family soon.
Find ways to stay productive and inspired. I follow people i admire on social media and people in real life i can learn so much from. Whenever i find myself getting sluggish i get back on track because my phone and laptop are filled with me media that keeps me looking forward where i want to go as wife, mom and businesswoman. More importantly pursuing this life as a happy wife and mom.
Make time for yourself
I have felt it, i have heard other moms say it. How they have often felt they have lost touch with themselves because we pour so much on our wonderful family and forget to make time the to fill our cup so it overflows.
When we had our third baby i felt so disconnected until i made time to myself everyday before everyone woke up to read the Word of God, Pray, read makeover blogs and how to develop oneself consistently.
It really made a difference and i know this much i was a much happier mom. Even the way i walked changed because i was filling myself up to fill the people i loved and i knew if a new mom or other moms needed to know how to cope and be happy i had so much to pour to tgem and still do.
Let us build a community of supporting each other as moms. Raising children is not easy but it is worth it and when we gather to raise happy children because we are happy too. We contribute to healthy, strong, capable, loving and peaceful generations to come.
