Rediscover the Old You to be the New You

I had a brainwave the other day, I think it was Tuesday, the same day I recorded my thoughts on BritMums Live, so I actually did a 2nd vlog that day, which I am just about to upload.

It is about how we lose ourselves when we become a Mother. But how sad is that? We spend years saying to the love of our life: "you complete me" - then we give up all of our hobbies when we become a Mum, and although we don't say it outloud to our offspring, we are projecting to them "you incomplete me".

So I want you to do a sort of bucket list, except it is a list of things you HAVE done before that you WILL or ARE doing again.

Make the foundation, of what made the old you, happy, in order to build on that foundation to create the new you. Because let's face it, you are NEW. You are a New Mum (online) like me, no matter how old your child is. I am only discovering the new me now and Aaron is 4 years old.

So here's my #NewMumFun list

1. cycling - tick
2. making time for me - tick
3. reading a good book - needs work
4. meditation - on the to-do list
5. yoga - on the to-do list
6. poetry - tick (did an Open Mic session last night - go me!)
7. watching the soaps - triple tick as I never stopped
8. eating healthily - on the to-do list
9. spending quality time with the husband - we are now doing this yyyeaaaah!
10. breathing (I call it Pranayama) - made a start!
11. a daily spiritual practice - made a start
12. being "conscious" - made a start
13. connecting with my yoga satsang - needed
14. teaching Kundalini Yoga once again - needed
15. connecting with My Mum! - much needed

I will continue to update and work with this list.

What do you need to do to reconnect with the old you? To create foundations for the new you?

Share with me,

If you wanna make the world a better place, then look at yourself and make that change!

Michael Jackson's Man In the Mirror - You Tube Video WITH LYRICS

I have done a lot of soul searching today, and mostly hummed the above, a lot.

Had to hum it because as much as I have heard it through the years, I did not know the lyrics.

Please watch the above you tube video; if you are like me, you know the song really well but NOT the lyrics.

That's why I have chosen a you tube vid that comes with them :-)

Look how apt they are, even to the point of putting on a winter coat (it is VERY cold out there right now).

Anyway, I found that the time I was spending online was not doing anybody any good, and hey, if it is not improving the world of you or your readers why bother. So no more!

I am entering a new world.  My new home is over at Conscious Mum, but I will of course still blog here too.

So, what change are YOU making? What is your person in the mirror up to? What have the winds of change blown up or blown away for you? If you have a new website, new blog, or a blog post that shows you've made a change, feel free to link it up below.

I know there is a whole new vibe in the blogging world at present and it is heart warming to see.

While I was writing this post I felt inspired to write a poem, so I just rustled up the below.

Forgive me it was done quickly and with Ice Age 4 on in the background it is not necessarily a literary masterpiece but hopefully it gives you an insight into my feelings.

I want to feel uplifted

When I come online

I want to feel connected

To know I will be fine

I want to find the friendships

That keep me warm inside

I want to go on out there

And no longer want to hide

I want to find some people

Who like me feel the same

I want to get to know you

and be glad that you came

So pull up a chair

take a seat,

Let's laugh a while,

Let's have a brew

Let's go online

Let's be sublime

Let's laugh

Let's be as NEW
