5 Habits of Successful Single Moms

They don’t let fear stop them.  Successful single moms accept that fear is a part of life. Instead of letting fear stop them in their tracks, they have learned how to live with and work around their fears. They are aware that 95% of their fears are imaginary and remind themselves of that each time fear strikes.
 

  • They take time for themselves, every day. Successful single moms don’t let their life control them; instead they are in control of their lives. They appreciate that taking time for themselves is crucial to their well being. How fun or effective is a worn-down, worn-out mom anyways? These moms are well aware that if “mom” is happy, everyone is happy!
     
  • They don’t stay down for long.
They know that life is a cycle of ups and downs, positive and negatives. They keep it in perspective that any limitation or setback is only temporary. When they’re down, they look at all angles of the situation, look for the hidden opportunity contained within the setback, and get right back up again.
     
  • They laugh. They know life can’t be so serious all the time. They intentionally have fun with life. When life throws them curveballs, they sense that the best response at times is just to laugh. Successful single moms understand that laughter is a powerful healer, and laugh often!
     
  • They reach out for help. They have released the myth of having to do it all alone. They know they don’t have to know and do everything by themselves. They appreciate that support and help is just a question away, and aren’t shy asking for help whenever they need it. 

These 5 habits seem so simple, but putting them into practice consistently can be easier said than done. Do as these successful women do…. keep practicing!

OMG finally a site that I can come too and relate with so many great stories. I am a single mom with four childen. I was married for seventeen years to their father. We have been divorced for three and he is remarried and has chosen to turn his back on his children...they are devastated. I am in a world of disbelief because I would have never thought in a million years he would ever turn his back on them. However, it has been very rewarding to me to have the opportunity to love them unconditionally everyday. I have been trying to use these five steps mentioned here...I sat down the other day and asked myself "Who am I?" I have discovered that my children each carry the components that make me who I am. I am a Christian, I am a mother, I am strong woman, I am loving and nurturing, I am a healer, I am a chef, I am a housekeeper, I am a talented artist in many areas, I am a giver, so......................if I am all these things then why do I feel so lost and so unaware? I need a career path that offers me balance with my family...
