It makes me a better mom, as I am aware of the long term effect of this expectation on kids. Great point Lisa- I definitely had this upbringing and am comforted to know others did too.

We are brought up to be caretakers - to be 'good', to listen and do what we are told and what others what of us. But often, we are not taught to care of ourselves - to listen to our inner wisdom and do what our bodies and minds need for us to be truly well - body, mind and soul. This is what I continue to learn through yoga, and serves as my inspiration as a children's yoga teacher. Such a difficult lesson for us to learn – especially for those of us who are female.

Spent yesterday in bed reading. It was blissful and exactly what I needed. Then, of course, by supper time I was feeling guilty about not being interactive, involved, cleaning the house, having a hot well balanced meal ready, etc, etc. This post let me know that was OK and to live me life as I want to, not to others expectations. PS. Gotta love YogaMint! Thanks for the reminder to put myself first and not feel guilty about it. Spent yesterday in bed reading. It was blissful and exactly what I needed.
