Mood MammasGift Giving Guide #firstworldproblemsA Harris poll last year conducted for SunTrust Banks found that 69 percent of survey respondents said they would skip exchanging gifts for the holiday season if their friends and family agreed to it. A majority of those who bought or made gifts said they would spend more time with friends and family if they didn’t have to worry about gifts.
“The survey findings suggest that financial anxiety during the holidays is taking its toll on many Americans and could be a reason for rethinking gift-giving and focusing on other priorities. Forty-three percent of those who spend mone...2019-12-2357 min
Mood MammasNostalgia: A hug from your brainNostalgia - from the Greek words for home (nostos) and pain (algos) to make nostalgia. Originally thought of as a psychiatric disorder - a form of debilitating homesickness experts currently recognize nostalgia is a positive behavior. According to Dr. Clay Routledge, nostalgia, "increases positive mood, self-esteem, feelings of social connectedness, optimism about the future and perceptions of meaning in life. Furthermore, nostalgia motivates people to focus on cultivating meaningful relationships and pursue important life goals. As people get older, nostalgia makes them feel more youthful and energetic. Nostalgia also reduces existential fears about death."

Mood MammasConfidence: motivation and momentumConfidence can be described as a belief in oneself, that one has the ability to meet life's challenges and to succeed—and acting in a way that conveys that belief. There isn’t even a single word in the dictionary that defines “a lack of self-confidence.” The key point to be aware of is whether you are self-confident about your ability to succeed or you are self-confident about your ability to fail. Henry Ford said, “If you think you can or think you can’t, you’re right.”

Mood MammasProjection: The world is a giant mirrorProjection is a fascinating phenomenon. Since we are often unable to admit or identify our internal fears, the only way we can find them is to see them in others. We project our own perceived shortcomings onto others. When we judge others we are really judging ourselves.
The world is a giant mirror always reflecting back parts of ourselves. If a person or thing we interact with INFORMS us, we are safe with that trait. On the other hand, if it AFFECTS us, chances are we are a victim of our own projections. It's only...2019-10-2954 min

Mood MammasBugs and Boundaries"Daring to set boundaries is about having the courage to love ourselves, even when we risk disappointing others." ~Brene Brown
Sometimes I think boundaries get a bad wrap. Boundaries actually help us define ownership - who I am, what is my responsibility. Just like a screen door, they keep the good in and the bad out. We are the ones who set the boundary and when we don’t clearly mark our boundary that’s where we can get into trouble. Remember that our boundaries are ours to enforce. It is not the other person’s job to gue...2019-10-2046 min

Mood Mammas3 Lifelines For Parent SurvivalFirst aid becomes useless if you can't safely perform it without injuring yourself.
Continual caregiving can take a toll on our physical, mental, and emotional strength.

Remember, we can’t take care of others if we don’t take care of ourselves.
