i can do my best not for my children but for myself💗

2025/10/24 Edited to

... Read more子どものために頑張るママが多いと思いますが、私の経験から言うと、それだけでは続かないことが多いです。実際、70人以上のママをサポートしてきて感じたのは、成功している人の共通点は「自分のため」に頑張っているということでした。 多くのママは「子どものために」と思うものの、その強い不安や怖さから行動できずにいる場合がほとんどです。私も最初は子どものためと考えていましたが、続けることが難しかったです。しかし「自分のため」に目的を切り替えたことで、自然に継続力がつき、結果も出せるようになりました。 例えば、自分磨きや健康管理、好きなことに時間を使うことなど「自分を大切にする」意識を持つことで、気持ちが前向きになり行動に移せます。また、副業や在宅ワークを通じて収入が増えると、自然と家計も助かり、家族に自由な時間や選択肢を与えられることも実感できました。 私の体験から言うと、ママが抱える悩みは自分の心と向き合い、「どうしたいか」「どうなりたいか」をしっかり見つけることが非常に大切です。それができれば、結果的に子どもにも良い影響を与えられると感じています。自分のために頑張ることは決してわがままではなく、むしろ家族のための土台づくりだと思うようになりました。 もし副業や在宅ワークを考えているなら、目的を「自分のため」に置き換えてみてください。そこから始めることで、行動がしやすくなり長く続けられると断言できます。自分を守り育てることが、最終的には子どもや家族にもプラスになるはずです。

One thing Ima do as a lover of Jesus is understand the power he gave us through prayer and one thing ima do as a mama is pray over my babies WITHOUT CEASING. God showed me the power of prayer pretty early on in my walk with Christ but I know everyone’s journey is so different and that’s beautiful.

Bible Verses to Pray Over Your Children
As parents, one of the greatest gifts we can give our children is the covering of prayer. The Bible reminds us that God’s Word is alive and active (Hebrews 4:12), and when we speak Scripture over our children, we’re inviting God’s promises to work in their lives. Here are some powerful Bible verses
