When I say clarity over chaos; that means choosing to know your truth no matter what distortions of perceptions someone else may have concerning you. I’ve been there where someone has deflected so much it was as if they were trying to plant little seeds of doubt. You have to see it for what it is, and reject any negative perceptions that someone is trying to plant in your mind.
Own Your Narrative Without Defensiveness
That’s clarity. When you choose not to defend someone else’s false narrative or get baited into an emotional reaction; that is you choosing clarity over chaos. Trust me, it may take a moment for you to recenter. You can check out tips for that here. You will be at peace again, once you see the person and situation for what it is. It may be emotional manipulation, gas-lighting or deflection. You have to know that none of that is in alignment with your truth.
Center Your Focus On Well-Being
You have to decide to turn your focus away from the chaos and choose to focus on what matters. That is YOU, your well-being, and your children. A happy mama is one who recognizes that her role is to nurture, protect, and love her children and that often comes with hard choices that will pay off in the long run.
Things your child will remember and carry into adulthood is structure, a safe environment and discipline. Can you say that you are contributing to that? It is important to remember that just as you have childhood memories, you are currently making those for your child. Let it be a healthy one.
Guard Your Heart and Protect Your Peace
Protecting your peace is one of the steps to make this happen. It is choosing to surrender the things that you can not carry, to God. You don’t have to walk this journey alone. You can stand in His strength. Oftentimes, we put off alone time with God with excuses of being too tired to pray or I’ll do it later and never get around to it.
Trust, the word of God is like an instant reset. All the answers you could ever need in this life is with Him. That takes you making intentional time to know Him, talk to Him and release your worries and cares, that He can align you and give you the wisdom and strength to move forward. He saw you fit for this journey and will empower you through it. I hope this has encouraged you today. Be blessed.
