“Motherly love is the fuel that enables a normal human being to do the impossible.” ~\u00a0Marion C. Garretty<\/cite><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Our Mothers<\/h2>\n

May is to be a big month of festivities for me celebrating family birthdays, Mother\u2019s day, and anniversaries – my parents being on May 15th. Last year another date got added, when my Dad passed away.<\/p>\n

In a way, this reinforces the rhythm of life.\u00a0From the time we are born to celebrating each birthday, graduations, marriage, childbirth, and yes death…there is a rhythm. Just think about it \u2013 we say: “give me a minute”. “I\u2019ll see you\u00a0in an hour”. “I\u2019ll call you tomorrow”. “Let\u2019s do this again next year.”<\/p>\n

When we\u00a0focus on the positive aspects of our lives<\/em><\/a>\u2013our loved ones, our support networks, and our moms, since\u00a0Mother’s\u00a0Day is upon us in just a few days, it is easier to feel sentimental. We bypass many arguments and make this day special for her and the ones who are like a mother to us.\u00a0Re-programming\u00a0our mind<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0to speak to be gentler, loving, and caring.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

My mom<\/h2>\n

My mother is one of the most beautiful human beings – classy and gracious, fun and fashionable, caring, loving and so much more. I love her so. There is so much of her in me. When it comes to mother and daughter relationships, I must confess it was not easy growing up. My friends remember her as a disciplinarian and me – her challenger. I was very much like a tomboy and she did not know how to control me and make me be the proper girly girl. Thus…I was disciplined \u2013 a lot.<\/p>\n

It was not till my late teens and early college years that I started seeing her more as a woman and mom, rather than \u2018mother.\u2019 I can relate to kid\u2019s and their problems and now that I have grown up. Having walked the same path, this experience helps me as much as my skills as a therapist. We still get into a communication glitch from mother\u2019s tug and the daughter\u2019s pull. Yet it is not as it was decades ago. I\u2019ve grown and learned how much of her is similar to grandma and her control issues \u2013 being like her yet wanting to be who she is \u2013 separate from her. Ah, what an ongoing battle!<\/p>\n

Family Tug of War?<\/h2>\n

I wonder if you too have experienced family tugs and identity wars of your own. If so \u2013 how do you feel now? Can you embrace all of who you are \u2013similar and separate from your mom or parents? This constant argument \u2013 of how we come through them, yet we are not them. We can only take on so much of their words, suggestions, personalities and behaviors. Then our need to be \u201cme\u201d kicks in. That\u2019s a good thing! Our world is not theirs, and they must seek friendships and supporters to help them after we leave the nest. If you start peeling away teen\u2019s expectations, behaviors and their ways of being away from you \u2013 then and only then you get to see the whole of them. When their own personality is freed, their creativity is also \u2013 as is yours!<\/p>\n

A complete you is what I help you develop. To HealWithin, you must find ways to release your teen Self \u2013 and yours too.\u00a0 So I ask you this. How often are you loving and gentle with yourself? You could use\u00a0life-affirming<\/a>\u00a0\u201cI Am\u201d statements.\u00a0I am loved, I am content, I am healthy.<\/em><\/p>\n

If and when you catch yourself having\u00a0negative thoughts<\/a>, why not stop and\u00a0acknowledge\u00a0<\/strong>what you are thinking. Internally imagine windshields wiping away, or say \u201cCancel.\u201d\u00a0 You then create a positive affirmations that\u00a0FEEL GOOD IN YOUR BODY<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Mother’s Day Special!<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Do you have a gift planned for\u00a0your<\/em>\u00a0mother?<\/p>\n

I’ve got a great gift for you. When you book two\u00a0hypnotherapy<\/a>\u00a0sessions with me at HealWithin, I will give you one session Free. Why not share the love and gift the complimentary session to a friend or loved one!<\/p>\n
