After being a mother, I thought I wasn't good at anything.

Not because there is no ability

But because we're so busy being everything for our kids that we forget that we're one person too (the smaller one gets sick at birth, the more it's like having no life at all)

Before finding yourself again.

It took years. 🤍

... Read moreหลังจากที่ได้เป็นแม่ สิ่งที่รู้สึกได้อย่างชัดเจนคือความเหน็ดเหนื่อยและความรับผิดชอบที่หนักหน่วงมากกว่าที่คิดไว้ก่อนมีลูก โดยเฉพาะเมื่อเจอกับปัญหาลูกป่วยตั้งแต่แรกเกิด ยิ่งเพิ่มความเครียดและความกังวลจนบางครั้งรู้สึกหมดไฟหรือคิดว่าตัวเองไม่มีความสามารถอะไรเลย แต่เมื่อเวลาผ่านไป เคล็ดลับที่ช่วยให้กลับมามั่นใจในตัวเองอีกครั้งคือการเริ่มลงทุนกับสิ่งที่ชอบและสนใจจริงๆ เช่น การเรียนรู้เกี่ยวกับ Personal Color ที่ไม่ใช่แค่เรื่องของสีที่สวยงาม แต่ยังช่วยเสริมสร้างความมั่นใจและความรู้สึกดีต่อตัวเอง การได้มีโอกาสนำความรู้นี้ไปช่วยผู้อื่น เช่น การร่วมออกแบบสีพาเลทอายแชโดว์ หรือการจัดเวิร์คช็อปให้ผู้ที่สนใจ นับเป็นประสบการณ์ที่ทำให้รู้สึกว่าตัวเองยังมีคุณค่าและสามารถแบ่งเบาภาระครอบครัวทางการเงินได้ด้วย ในฐานะแม่ที่ต้องดูแลลูกถึงสองคน การสร้างสมดุลระหว่างชีวิตครอบครัวและการพัฒนาตนเองนั้นไม่ง่ายเลย แต่ถ้าเราให้เวลากับตัวเองและไม่ลืมที่จะใส่ใจความฝันและความสนใจของตัวเองบ้าง จะค้นพบว่าเรายังคงเก่งและมีความสามารถในแบบของเราเองมากกว่าที่คิด สุดท้าย การเป็นแม่ไม่ใช่การสูญเสียตัวตน แต่เป็นการประกอบร่างตัวเองใหม่ที่มีมิติและความเข้มแข็งมากขึ้น เราอาจจะเหนื่อยและล้มลง แต่ก็สามารถลุกขึ้นและสร้างชีวิตใหม่ที่เติมเต็มทั้งความสุขและความภาคภูมิใจได้อย่างแท้จริง

Am I crazy for loving being a mother? 🥹🤍
I feel like you often hear a lot of mothers and women say that they miss life before having kids. Which often can scare women into not wanting to have kids because they don’t want to miss out on anything. However, I personally feel like having children makes life more full, and I love my children.
