Somebody gave me this book to read. ‘The Tipping Point’. It’s all about how small things can make a big difference. It is as thought provoking as what the back cover blurb suggests and very inspiring.
Like a lot of mums juggling work and the kids and the house and everything else that comes with the territory, occasionally, I find myself in a bit of a rut. And I hate it. If I have 1 day too long in this state of mind and state of play, the likelihood of me packing up and running off to join the circus greatly increases.
So when I find myself a little edgy I ‘plant a few seeds’ and start rocking the boat, so to speak. I talk to different people, offer to do things I wouldn’t normally do, change my routine and most importantly I refocus on my attitude, positive thinking and believing in myself.
As a mum, it is easily to let yourself slip into the role of mum, and just do what we think a mum should do. But, reality is, we are also individuals with our own individual needs. We can’t always do what our role demands of us. Sometimes, we have to do what we demand from ourselves.
So, I’m not going to join the circus (yet), but I am going to make lots of small changes to make a big, positive difference to my personal development, attitude and future.
Lucky, there are lots of mums just like me and you happy to help and share the journey…
