Just trying to find me

I’m a mom to 6 kids, I’m not alone, I have my partner. He does provide support. But I feel lost in parenting, like I can’t find myself in the midst of it all. Like I’m in auto pilot. Am I the only parent who feels like this. Lately I find myself looking in the mirror and wondering who the person in the mirror is looking back at me. I love being a mom, I absolutely love my children, I just feel disconnected. How do I find myself in this season of my life? Who am I? These are questions I ask myself. I want to feel more connected with myself and less disconnected with others. How does one achieve this?

No, you're not the only parent who feels this way. I am a mother of 3, and I have felt this way a lot of times. As mothers, we carry so many responsibilities for our families. Sometimes we can lose ourselves. What I learned to do is take a little time out for myself, like painting my nails or just getting my favorite drink from Starbucks. As a mom, it's essential to take time for yourself. If you don't, you risk experiencing burnout. I recommend scheduling regular time for activities you enjoy. Taking care of your own well-being not only benefits you but also makes you a better parent for your children.
