Confidently Raise Kids Free of Worry and Anxiety :: Tracey Mitchell [EP22]

It’s so easy to fall into the worry trap, especially when you’re a first time mom. Tracey Mitchell shares that instead of worrying, moms should focus more on the emotional, social and physical health of their children through open communication.“I think one way to be intentional is to ask children what they want to do as far as goal setting… let their goals be theirs and not just things that we stick and attached to them”If you’re a control freak and you can’t stop worrying, Tracey admonishes us that the best thing moms can do is to check in with other moms to get a clearer perspective of what may be unnecessarily bothering us. Our worries are sometimes amplified by our desires to be GREAT moms while comparing ourselves to Instagram moms, yet freedom comes from knowing your struggles and realizing your great attributes, values and worth — that’s perspective. “Our worries rarely come true. Prevent the things that we can, be careful and be watchful and don’t fall in the trap of micro-worriers.”Tracey shares that we must routinely retreat and engage in self care to reset our perspective. It goes without saying that the more relax we are, the more we’re able to deal with the stresses of motherhood. “The journey is just as important as the destination because it’s not always about reaching the goal.” What we chat aboutWays to stay free from worry and anxietySeeking other mom validationThe importance of playRaising children to be bold and confidentConnects with TraceyWEBSITE: Tracey MitchellFACEBOOK: Tracey MitchellINSTAGRAM: Tracey Mitchell
