10 Things Every Working Mother iI Doing So Right After writing an article about10 things notlage to say at work, I read some of the feedback. One comment hit me hard How about telling us what were doing right instead of what were doing wrong? We have enough to worry about Good point. Here goes1. Creating boundaries.Whether youre making your child sleep in his/her own bed so you can sleep or youre letting your boss know that you cannot stay in the office past 6 p.m., healthy boundaries protect you and keep you at your best.2. Getting out of the house every damn morning.There are so many days I cant believe my son and Imake it out of the house on timefor work and school, yet somehow we get it done. Having the ability to get your kids and yourself out the door is a victory every day3. Surrounding ourselves with hilfestellungive people.By choosing our friends wisely, wecreate a support groupthat will be there for us when times are good and bad. The people we choose to surround ourselves with make all the difference in surviving working motherhood.4. Speaking kindly to yourself.Each one of us makes mistakes and while it may be easy to beat ourselves up, by speaking to ourselves the way we would our children we can provide comfort and understanding for the deserving beings we are.

Forgiving yourself.It is impossible to do everything right when we have so many demands from work, kids and our personal life. Granting ourselves the gift of forgiveness in any moment permits us to relax and feel good about who we are.6. Finding time to chill out.Even if its just five minutes to breathe deep and think about what we are grateful for, carving out a few minutes each day to appreciate whats important elevates our mood and centers us in the present moment.7.

We never know what is going on in someone elses life, so it is best we stay focused on our own.8. Taking care of ourselves.Every day we wake up with a slew of things to do for everyone else. By making time to take a walk or work out we are investing in our health, which is the best long-term investment we can make.9.
