Mom training, or mom coaching is focused on giving moms the tools and strategies for achieving their dreams and goals in life. Are you a mom who often receives bolts of inspiration but then you don’t follow up on those ideas? As you go through your daily life do you have visions of doing something more with your life? Do you hear about the successes that others around you have achieved and it makes you want to get out there and change the world yourself? If you have had thoughts such as these, then maybe it’s time for you to think about mom training.

Mom training or mom coaching helps you to first do some deep introspection to see what the true dreams, visions, and desires of your heart really are. For instance, you may have been focusing on a dream to open a daycare facility, but maybe what you really want to do is start a school. A coach will help draw out of you what you are really hoping for and then work with you to give you the encouragement to pursue your vision until it comes to pass.

But there are some challenging questions that you should ask yourself before engaging the services of a coach to make sure that you are ready to launch into the process of transforming both yourself and your circumstances.

Are you willing to do the work necessary to get from where you are to where you want to be?

Are you willing to be accountable to someone for the goals/timelines that you choose?

Are you ready to stretch yourself and move beyond your zone of comfort?

Are you prepared to not allow distractions to hinder your progress?

Do you feel like there is something that is holding you back from reaching your goals?

When considering working with a mom coach, you must work with someone who has achieved the success that you seek and who has had accomplishments comparable to the goals you aspire to. Someone who has been there and weathered those late nights, dealt with unsupportive spouses and family members, and fought the uphill battle until she had attained her goals, will be able to guide you and remind you to keep your eyes on the prize and not on those things that might try to pull you down.

You already have everything that you need within you to reach your goals, but working with a coach will help you to not only look within, but share her knowledge, skills, experience and even contacts to help you to transform your life’s vision into reality.

Find your purpose for moms is a process for looking inward to discover what you feel is your unique reason for being alive right now. Moms work hard everyday from the moment they wake up until the time when they fall into bed at night exhausted from the activities of the day. The never ending flow of dirty dishes, dirty laundry and dirty bottoms can grow monotonous and the days can begin to blurr one into the next.

You love your children and you want to do your best to be the best mom that you can be, but you also have inner urges for something more in your life. You have questions in your mind about what your purpose is in this world aside from being the mother to your children and partner to your mate.

The great Yogic philosopher Patanjali, wrote the following about finding your purpose:

“When you are inspired by some great purpose, some extraordinary project, all your thoughts break their bonds: Your mind transcends limitations, your consciousness expands in every direction, and you find yourself in a new, great, and wonderful world. Dormant forces, faculties and talents become alive, and you discover yourself to be a greater person by far than you ever dreamed yourself to be.” —Patanjali

To discover your purpose you need to set aside some time when you will not be interrupted. Get out your journal or a piece of paper and a pen, but before you begin to write take a moment and quiet your mind. Focus on your breath and try to find the place within you where your true purpose lies waiting to be discovered. Begin writing down things that you have been successful at in the past, the things that bring you joy when you do them—the thing that you would do even if you were not getting paid for it. Is there anything that you do that puts you in ‘the zone’ where time seems to stop and you forget even to stop and eat? Write that down as well.

Here are some questions to encourage your introspection process:

What are you passionate about?

Who do you admire?

What are your strengths?

What gives you a sense of fulfillment?

What causes do you believe in?

What ideals do you steadfastly defend?

What is your vision for this world?

What is the one thing that you would regret not having done before you die?

After you answer these questions and any others that come to mind you should know your purpose. Now your task is to find the best way to make your purpose the center of all that you do. Author Alan Cohen said, “The purpose of life is not to fight against evil and misfortune; it is to unveil magnificence.”  What will you do to unveil your magnificence today? The world is waiting for you to discover your purpose and to live in it with passion.

Stay at Home Moms: Energy Management Tips

Stay at home moms are giving their family the most valuable gift possible–their time and attention. But a stay at home mom has tremendously busy days full of conflicting priorities and a seemingly unending list of tasks. Her energy is her most valuable asset when it comes to making it through those long, exhausting days.

With so much to do around the house taking care of the children and pets and yourself, cooking, cleaning, managing homework or teaching if you are homeschooling your children. Mothers want to give their children so much, but you can’t give what you don’t possess yourself. If you want to give your children the love and nurturing that they need in order to grow and thrive you must first give those things to yourself. Managing your energy is the key to handling everything that comes at you with poise and grace.

Here are some tips for planning your day and managing your energy as you complete your tasks:

Set Realistic Goals

Don’t try to be all things to all people. Aiming to be a supermom is a recipe for burnout and disaster. Learning to say no respectfully without making excuses is one of the biggest gifts you can give yourself.

Pace yourself

Break your larger goals into daily, and then hourly chunks.

Organize living and working space

Keeping your kitchen, office and your children’s rooms organized saves so much time and energy. When you don’t have to rush around looking for lost keys and that missing shoe things go more smoothly.

Identify your daily priorities

Choose the most important thing that you must do on a given day and go after that task first.

Schedule breaks throughout the day

Make sure to have some down time when you can just enjoy spending time reading or playing with your child.

Relax and breathe

When you are in the thick of things don’t forget to breathe. Taking deep, mindful breaths and even a 60 second meditation can completely shift your energy.

Re-assess goals weekly

Take the time weekly to decide what’s working and what needs to change. Ask yourself if you are you getting the support that you need. Is it time to stretch yourself further?
