No matter how hard mums try to do the right things for their families, guilt always creeps into the mindset and creates negative thoughts, insecurities and unhappiness. Guilt, for mums who are trying to juggle many responsibilities, such as work, home, school runs, support and time for other family members and friends, can be all consuming.

Instead of giving into these pangs of guilt, try to acknowledge and celebrate everything you do as a good mum. No matter what you are trying to achieve for you and your family, observe the many benefits it brings! Here are some quick tips to help you eliminate guilt from your life for good!

• If you are a working mum who has to arrange childcare for your children, reassure yourself that they are being cared for appropriately in your absence. They will be having a great time taking part in new activities and socialising with other people so you shouldn’t worry about spending time away from them.
•  If you have to have time away from your children ensure the time you do spend together is extra special. Quality time will always benefit you more than the amount of time you spend with each other. Arrange to do activities together that you will both enjoy.
• If you are a working mum accept that you are working to improve the standard of living for you and your family. This is an honourable thing to do and you should feel proud of your efforts.
• Endeavour to achieve your ideal work/life balance so you can enjoy both your family life and your time at work. This will give you a feeling of calm and satisfaction, and will enable you to enjoy your life to the full.

Finally, stop worrying so much about the elements of your life that you cannot change, such as having to work. You are doing your very best and you should be proud of all the things you do for you and your family. I hope these tips help you overcome any feelings of guilt so you can enjoy your life as a busy mum!
