I was recently at a work event where one of the speakers talked about prioritizing your life to achieve harmony. She said that we have so many different roles as a wife and mother and we often prioritize this way: mother, wife, woman. As a mom, we often take care of others first before ourselves.
However, she challenged us to reprioritize our lives so that we are a woman first, wife second, and mom last. I have always believed this. One of my favourite pieces of advice that I've received and given to a lot of new moms is this: The best gift you can give to your children is a good marriage. And one of my all time favourite quotes is what they tell you on the plane: Put on your own oxygen mask before you assist others.
Do you agree? How do you prioritize?
SO TRUE! That totally jumped out at me when I was listening to the speaker! The truth is, I always put child, husband, parents, other family/friends first and me last.
ReplyDeleteI learned so much from that event. So glad to have been able to be there.
