Minimum Baseline
She’s here! Introducing baby Eve!
And now let’s talk about minimum baselines. I have a bare minimum in my business to go on facebook and instagram live once a week. So I just did that. From the hospital. After giving birth yesterday. Because i do that every thursday (used to be wednesday) no matter what. Rain or shine. broken arms, diabetes, or new baby. That is a minimum baseline. The very minimum “required” to “call it good”. And of course you can always do more but at least the minimum gets done.
The concept of minimum baselines is useful in parenting also and especially for dropping the Mom Guilt. You get to decide for yourself what your minimum parenting baselines are. What is the absolute least you can do as a mom and still consider yourself a good mom? What are your priorities? What are your kids most basic needs and of course you can easily do above and beyond that but it’s good to define the. minimum cause then you give yourself an achievable target and something to be proud of instead of just piling on unrealistic expectations and things to feel guilty about. So when things start feeling overwhelming, take it back down to the basics and congratulate yourself that at least you did do whatever and then from that positive place, it’s easier to want to and to do more.
