The Power of Honoring Your Efforts
Honoring your efforts is a powerful practice that involves acknowledging and appreciating the hard work and dedication you put into various aspects of your life. By recognizing our own efforts, we tap into the power of our compassionate inner friend who is always there for us. This practice can be especially beneficial for busy moms who often overlook their own efforts while focusing on caring for others. By honoring their efforts, mothers can gain a deeper appreciation for their tireless commitment to parenting and their innate goodness. Engaging in this practice can provide a sense of ease and fulfillment that may surpass the validation received from others.
How to Honor Your Efforts
To honor your efforts, it is important to acknowledge both your internal and external efforts. Internally, this involves managing your emotions, attending to the needs of your body such as rest and nourishment, and regulating your internal landscape. Externally, it encompasses fulfilling responsibilities, caring for others, and completing various tasks in your daily life. When practicing the art of honoring your efforts, it is essential to create space for any emotions or sensations that arise. Even the inner critic may make an appearance, but it is crucial to accept its presence and continue with the exercise. Those seeking guidance in this practice can find a meditation in the Headspace app called 'Honoring Your Efforts' that provides step-by-step guidance.
