You’ve just had a baby. You’re starting to get used to the hectic world of motherhood. Now you’re faced with going back to work, but every time you think about it you get a churning feeling in your tummy.
Sound familiar? For many of us it does.
Some of us don’t want to return to work, and we have decided we never will. Others of us don’t have that option, but wish we did.
A large portion of us realise that our jobs suck and don’t want to leave the love-of-our-lives to travel over an hour on sweaty public transport, where a lady named Cheryl didn’t wriggle her hand free from the human sardine tin quick enough to catch her sneeze, and now you’re transporting flecks of Cheryl’s DNA (visible on your glasses) to your office.
At least when our babies sneeze on us it’s funny.
Yet despite situations harrowingly similar to the one I have described, so many of us decide it’s too risky to begin a new career when we have such a tiny vulnerable human to grow and care for.
So, what is it we are really worried about? Here I’m going to delve into some of those uncomfortable exaggerated thoughts, and why they aren’t really barriers to our future success or happiness as working mums.
While the above are all scary thoughts, they are all worst-case scenarios. Worst-case scenario thoughts don’t stop you boarding a plane on your trip to Zante, so why should they stop you from changing your life?
The fact is: You are the only thing stopping you. It might be hard at first, but as with everything, you’ll find a way to manage and then you’ll begin to thrive. Don’t let fear dictate your future.
