What Nadine Levitt can say in an interview about
How to Manage Mom Guilt
:

All moms know firsthand how hard it can be to achieve balance in their lives but it always starts with them! When you look at all the emotions that are tied up and visiting with guilt as moms we can better read what they are signposting for us.

Here are some tips:

    1. Try to unpack the “shoulds” or “supposed to.” A good way to do this is by writing them down. Sometimes looking at the words on a piece of paper, can give one a little space to identify what is really driving these thoughts. Often there are a few so write them all down (eg: kids get too much screen time, there’s not enough bonding time, we order in too much, etc.) 
    2. Examine other emotions that are associated with the guilt. Next, look at what other emotions are coming with the guilt? Sadness? Fear? Jealousy? Go through each “should” previously listed and think about what emotions are attached to each one. Once you have the full picture you can unpack what it is signposting for you.
    3. Prioritize and find the balance. Finally, look back over the list and fact-check everything, trying to differentiate between emotions and thoughts. Then cut a deal with yourself (make sure it is one you can keep!). Identify your priorities and build them into a schedule, but aim for 100% of your attention to go to each priority.
