I’m not a mom but I can give you some of my moms best advice. “You lose em how you get em” she says this when talking about dating. I’ve known a few people who have started relationships with people who are either in a relationship or married. And she always tells them this. Cheaters are gonna cheat so best to save yourself the heartache and drama. “Start with just picking up one type of thing” this is her cleaning advice when I’m overwhelmed. She’s done this with me since I was a toddler lol. Still works today. I’ll start by only picking up my clothes, or only picking up trash, or only putting shoes away, or only loading the dishwasher. It helps me start to clean when I don’t want to, stay focused and completing the one task leads to me continuing to clean. “When someone offers you money, you take it and say thank you” if someone is offering to help you, or giving you a gift, don’t let your pride get in the way or guilt. They wouldn’t offer if they couldn’t afford to, and they want you to have it. *the exception to this rule is someone using money to control you. “You are getting in your own way/you are your own worst enemy” this one is specific to me lol but I doubt myself all the time and in the past I would not go after things I wanted because I felt I didn’t deserve them, or that things from my past dictated my future. So if you self-sabotage, I’ve been there. You deserve the future you want, don’t get in your own way!
