I had a phone conversation with a mom recently and she told me a story...
She was near the pool with her two daughters...
They both had the biggest smile on their faces playing in the water, but their mom didn't feel
the same way.
She was happy her daughters were having fun, but inside, she wasn't comfortable at all.
She was hiding with a cover-up, not wanting to be seen in a bathing suit...
Her daughters didn't
care. They just wanted their mommy to play with them.
"Why aren't you playing with us, Mommy? Don't you want to be with us?"
It was devastating.
Because mom didn’t realize how her self confidence was impacting her daughters.
Of course she wanted to be with them.
But her insecurity in her bathing suit and the weight she had been trying to get rid of for years was creating this big black cloud storming over her life.
It made her feel terrible.
Sadly, this sort of
thing happens all the time.
When we’re not comfortable in our skin and we fail to prioritize ourselves the RIGHT way, it impacts those closest to us.
As parents, we set the example.
And it’s passed on to our kids.
Personally, in our household, my wife and I make it a priority to…
❤️ Be a positive role model and inspire our kids to be healthy, happy and confident.
❤️ Do the things that give us energy to keep up with our kids so we can make the most out of every day and every moment with them.
Even
things like going on a random after dinner walk can have a huge impact.
If you’re anything like me, that means no foods are off limits, we simply enjoy our favorites without the guilt by integrating them into a healthier lifestyle and no, a healthier lifestyle doesn't mean kale and baked chicken all the time :)
It also means fueling my body with ENOUGH
food because I played the restriction game and I noticed how it impacted my temper and mood…
It means moving my body and building STRENGTH so my kids see what Daddy is capable of…
We can inspire our kids to become more fit, healthy, confident and secure… without even forcing it on them.
If
that’s something that is important to you…
I've helped thousands of Moms and Dads already. Moms and Dads who've struggled for years to figure this out on their own.
My goal is to make everything doable. Simpler. Faster.
Just know there's a community available to you where you're welcome to celebrate prioritizing yourself because of the impact it has on the ones you love most.
Have an amazing week,
Mikey
