Honoring the Mother/Father in You
Acknowledging Yourself In These Difficult Times |
by Kathy
Caprino
Mother's Day
is a time of honoring and appreciating our mothers and what they
have done and given for us. This week, I wonder too if each of us
could take time to recognize with appreciation how we have mothered
(and fathered) our own lives; how we have nurtured, cared for and
fearlessly brought into being
our own selves, in the face of very challenging
circumstances.
So often we
focus on what isn't going well, or how we are flawed as individuals,
but we rarely hug ourselves and say "Job well done!" When we do
allow in some praise, it's usually because others have given us
recognition for something outward we've done.
I'd like to
reverse this pattern, and encourage us all to start a new process
this week by appreciating the courage we've had in bringing
ourselves forward during these troubling times.
I'd like us
to say to ourselves:
"I am a loving and nurturing mother/father to myself and others.
I always do the best I can. I am aware of my gaps and dedicate
myself to my continued growth. I am growing in my strength and
self-acceptance each day."
This is a
great start, I think, to being on the continual path of appreciating
the very essence of courage and strength that you are. We came to
this lifetime with some stretching to do, and we're doing it! But
try as we might, there are times we slip up. Don't beat yourself up
about it. Shine the light on what you want to change in your
behaviors and life, and do it.
As a coach
in these trying times, I spend a great deal of time with people in
major transition, and I'm always amazed at the rapid (often
miraculous) growth they experience when in relationship with another
who loves, believes in, and empathizes with them. We've been so
conditioned to doubt ourselves and question our abilities, motives
and beliefs, and this self-doubt can be demoralizing and
paralyzing.
The most
powerful approach I know in helping people overcome crisis is
facilitating their ability to gain an unshakable belief in
themselves, to trust their instincts, and to know that they have a
right to (and an essential purpose in) following their own unique
path -- fearlessly and authentically -- despite the objections and
fears of others around them.
Let's take
this Mother's Day as an opportunity to cherish and appreciate not
only our mothers whom we love dearly, but also ourselves, for being
courageous and strong during very tough times, and for attempting
to be a steady source of hope and light for others.
To everyone
who is reading this...thank you for the positive energy and love
you've given yourself and others. All who've experienced you are
grateful.
Thank you for reading and sharing.
Happy Mothering!
