How Parenting Has Impacted My Life

How Parenting Has Impacted My Life

…ever had a life changing experience IMPACT your life like parenting?

…It’s made me MUCH more efficient with my time and also PATIENT…

…here’s my parenting story…

 

…before we had Jordan my life was great…

…and it was busy, with exercise and sleep and work…

…my husband and I would go out to see friends, or invite them over…

…we would participate in classes and volunteer for PSI seminars…

…it was very rewarding…

…what I learned from becoming a parent is that I have to spend my time on what is important…

…so if I’m watching Jordan then he is important, and he needs my attention…

…that means that if I had some plans for just myself, I’d have to make them only early in the morning when he’s sleeping…or on my lunch hour at work…

…my me time has shrunk a lot and so I spend it very wisely, listening to audios of books and wealthy entrepreneurs, reading books and blogging, doing e-mails…

…I do all that in less than 2 hours a day!

…I also learned PATIENCE…

…sometimes Jordan is just cranky, like he was last night…

…and all you can do is be soothing and understanding and do your best to make him feel better…

…he wanted me to carry him and wanted to fall asleep in the living room =)…

…so that’s where I was last night, in the living room until he was fast asleep…

…and it all comes down to letting out negative emotions when I get them, and then going back into loving patience…

…today my life is pretty special…

…I can truly say that I spend all of my time doing what I love to do, and that this time spent parenting is very precious…

…parenting is the hardest and most rewarding thing that I do everyday…

…it allows me to focus on the things in my work, business and love life that are the most essential…

…so that I spend my time where it will make the biggest difference…

…I still exercise almost everyday, we still go on our date night, and I actually spend more time on my business than before I became a parent…

…it’s also shown me how much I can do with little sleep and less time…

…did you know that you can learn a lot about becoming successful at your own internet business by listening to people who have already done it?

  1. Great post! I know looking back I feel like I was so lazy before kids! Like what did I do all day with all that free time. Lol.

  2. Nice article on being a great parent. Prioritizing is key to living a balanced life with kids. And I’m grateful to my wife who always has the patience and love for our little family.
