Liz shares her story on how having children can create challenges
In this blog Liz Mosley shares her story of how having children created challenges and left her lacking confidence and feeling vulnerable.
Today I am sharing about an initiative of @the.adventures.of.phil.jones called #theinsiderwatchchallenge
The idea is you flip your watch around on your wrist and wear it as a reminder that you can flip the script when it comes to different challenges in your life.
When I had kids I feel like my life really was flipped around. I didn't see it at the time, but the challenges of looking after small kids, left me lacking in confidence and feeling very vulnerable.
I convinced myself that I was fine, that I didn't need help and then I could do it all by myself.
8 years later, therapy, a very different working set up and things have really changed, but I honestly feel like it took me years to build my confidence back up and find my feet again, and I guess get to know the new version of me.
So many mums are expected to just get back to life as normal so quickly, and I remember a friend telling me that someone had told her it takes at least 2 years to feel sort of normal again after having a baby, and honestly just hearing that helped me so much, and gave me permission to be kind to myself when I didn't feel 'back to normal' or like I was coping particularly well.
Anyway, this isn't my usual type of content, but I love to share other snippets of my life and I think what Phil is doing with this challenge is really brilliant.
Everyone is facing different challenges, and we don't see them all that often on these squares, but that doesn't mean that everyone one isn't battling through something!
