Momnificent! Mother’s Day giveaway – contest closed
I met Lori online a couple of months ago and felt an instant connection because she seemed like someone who had her life together and I am someone who is trying to do the same. That said, I bought her book. Although I haven’t had time to read it yet (because I am so terribly unorganized and frazzled), I have flipped through it and am very excited about what she has to offer. I think you will be too.
I just started a course with Lori called “Lighten Your Load” and I’m really looking forward to a new, organized, clutter-free me, at the end of the 12 week course. Check it out if you get a chance.
After you read Lori’s post, be sure to enter the great Momnificent! giveaway. What a great way to celebrate Mother’s Day!
Take it away Lori:
Have you ever wondered what it takes to live a momnificent™ life? Or perhaps you’re asking yourself “What in the world does “momnificent™” mean?” Momnificent™ isn’t in the dictionary, but maybe some day it will be. As a coach who works with amazing moms everyday, I asked myself what I want moms to feel on a day in and day out basis. The word that came to me was magnificent; and so momnificent™ was born.
Momnificent!™ is a mindset, a feeling and a word that describes every mom that gets up every morning in service to her family and gives it her best shot. Momnificent!™ is not about perfection. There is no such thing as a perfect mom, a perfect home, a perfect marriage, or perfect children. Who would want that anyway? Momnificent!™ is, however, a way of life that is built on 8 essential ingredients.
When you develop and practice these important life skills, your life will be magnificent, and you will feel momnificent!™
Confidence
Confidence is about knowing who you are and being accepting of who you are, in any given moment. Confidence in all areas of your life will help you be successful as a mom, a woman, a wife, or in any other role you decide to identify with. As you grow and become clear about who you are as an individual, your confidence will blossom. When you practice new skills and live more fully into who you wish to be, your confidence grows. Confident moms cultivate confident children.
Spiritual Foundation
At Momnificent!™, we believe there is a God at work in this Universe, and not all things in life are within our control. When you build your life on a spiritual foundation, there is value and purpose to your life. There is hope, strength and peace in placing your faith in a God that is bigger, wiser and greater than yourself. You have access to an abundant supply of love and patience for motherhood.
Healthy Boundaries
Healthy boundaries in your life protects what is most important to you. Boundaries help you decide what you are willing to tolerate and what you are not. They provide the walls around your life that enable you to maintain a positive and healthy life; a life that is specifically designed to work for you.
Positive Energy
As moms, we need a rich reserve of positive energy; energy for ourselves, our family and the world. By learning to identify and manage energy drains and committing to engage in activities that refuel you, you will have the physical energy you need to be productive, the emotional energy to be available and enthusiastic, and the mental energy to be creative and resourceful.
Healthy and Supportive Relationships
We were created to be in relationship with one another, and we cannot successfully manage life alone. Relationships, when healthy and supportive, have the ability to provide a great amount of joy. They provide the playground for us to learn about who we are, and who we are not. Strong relationships are the backbone that holds us up when we are falling down.
Life Balance
Balance in life is something we practice from moment to moment knowing that our concept of balance can change over time. Balance enables you to custom design your life according to what’s most important to you. You are happiest when you are living your life in alignment with your truest self.
Self-Care
Moms who practice regular self-care know that it is essential to put their oxygen mask on first before they help their children. Without nurturing your physical, emotional, mental and spiritual wellbeing, you will eventually burn out. To give your best, you need to be at your best and self-care renews and refreshes your body, mind and soul.
Nurturing and Effective Parenting
It’s the one life skill you can’t get away from as long as you are a mom. Parenting your children is a significant part of your life and almost always dominates your time. Living into your own personal definition of what it means to be a “good mom” is the central focus of your existence while your children are in your home.
It is important to acknowledge, however, that being a mom is not our entire identity. We were women before we became moms, and we will always be women. We are friends and daughters, and some of us are wives and career professionals. Being a mom is a part, and a very important part, but certainly not the whole of who you are. While working on your parenting skills helps you be a better mom, developing yourself in other areas helps you be a model of a successful leader for your children. Our world needs a new generation of healthy and positive leaders, and we are the ones bringing up this new generation.
Being a mom is a tough job, but one filled with great joys and opportunities to learn more about who we are as women. Put a smile on a mom’s face and go out and tell a mom “You are momnificent!”
