If holidats like mother's day just kind of suck fir you...I got you.
This really applies in any relationship but I still have mother's day on the mind do here we are.
I'm giving you my secret sauce to enjoying your special day, mother's day or sny day.
If you're anything like me you probably head into a holiday like this thinking things like "but if they love me they should know what I want", or "they should appreciate everything I do and try to make me feel special" (ugh I'm still a little embarrassed by that one)
About 4 or 5 years ago my family went to see Dr. Strange on Mother's day. You need to know a few things:
1️⃣ I LOVE all things Marvel & we rarely miss a new Marvel movie when they hit theaters so this was a perfect any Saturday night treat...but not how I wanted to spend Mother's day
2️⃣ I could be considered greedy with my Sunday evenings. If you're scheduling a massive life event on a Sunday evening I'll get dressed in something fabulous & come celebrate you but I'm not meeting up for anything else on Sunday evening
3️⃣ I did exactly what I didn't want to do because I knew my husband & kids wanted to then I kinda acted like they did it to me (ok mostly him cuz he was the one I expected to know🤷♀️)...I was seriously kinda jerky.
4️⃣ That was the last time I did something I didn't want to do on mother's day.
Since then, I've enjoyed a few different treats on mother's day: brunch out at a new-to-us restaurant, a fabulous sunny beach day...
I literally did the things I'm suggesting that you do.. I decided on the drive home from Dr. Strange that I would see a Marvel movie when I wanted to see one and I would enjoy mother's day how I wanted to enjoy it. The next year when my husband asked what I'd like to do for mother's day I knew, I communicated, we did it and I enjoyed!
Now, if you're seeing this early in your day you can still pivot. But if not, you have a map to plan for next year!
And if this feels impossible youve landed in the right place. Im here yo help you turn your self-love journey into your very own self-love adventure! Stick around by tapping thst follow button or lets get right to connecting with a DM.
Happy mother's day...or any other kind of special day you choose to enjoy this year!
