I have recently discovered that mine is being emotionally available for my family.
I am learning. On any given day I need to prioritize that over everything else.
Such as:
My to-do list,
My schedule,
Where we go,
If we go,
or
Do we stay home.
The list goes on...........
My point is that emotional availability is my top priority. Which means.....
I don’t get a lot of anything else done on any given day.
Let's be real, I struggle with that sometimes. Coming from a family where work was pretty much always "the top priority", and "how much one worked", was considered an Identity.
I am in a season of life where I am making peace with the fact that I chose a different priority. And that means my life looks hugely different.
I’m learning to re-form my identity and accept the fact that it does look different.
That I am strong, valuable, and worthwhile. Even though, I have ”just” met the emotional needs of my family and did the basic housework.
It’s just gotta be fucking good enough for today!
Whatever it was that I accomplished... its Enough! My kids are fed, happy and emotionally connected to me.
That’s my priority.
I accomplished it.
I win!
The End.
