Help For Single Mothers – 7 Mistakes Single Moms Don’t Know They’re Making | By Brenda Solano
Have you ever asked yourself, “Why does life have to be so hard?”
If so, you’re probably making at least 1 of the 7 critical mistakes that single moms make. We usually don’t even know we’re making them, but they keep us from moving forward in our personal lives. They keep us from growing and from experiencing the joyous, abundant lives we want and deserve.
Which mistakes are you making?
*Mistake #1: You Give Grudgingly
The problem is not that we don’t give, it’s the energy behind our giving that’s the problem. Because so much is asked of us, we often give grudgingly and resent it. That kind of giving does not help us; it actually keeps us stuck. To get unstuck, make a conscious effort to feel good when you are giving. When you do, it will come back to you ten-fold.
*Mistake #2: You Don’t Know When To Say Yes or When To Say No
How often do you say Yes when you don’t mean it or want to? When you do this often enough, it creates turbulence in your body and mind. Do you know that you also say No when you should be saying Yes? You might be missing out on some wonderful times with your kids because you get on No automatic pilot. Really listen to the question before you answer. Pause. Feel what is right, and then answer.
*Mistake #3: You Don’t Balance Your Masculine and Feminine
As single moms, we are always in control and always “doing”. We have to be so strong just to get through the day, so we end up taking on more of our masculine side. However, never forget your real essence. You feel your true self when you are in your feminine power. You can still be strong, but let your guard down and let your softer side show.
*Mistake #4: You Don’t Get Off The Merry Go Round
The merry go round spins and spins. Spin around long enough and you start feeling sick, right? So, don’t let your life be a merry-go-round. Stop. Slow down. Pause. Take time to think and reflect.
*Mistake #5: You Receive Reluctantly
Some single moms have a very hard time reaching out and receiving. We don’t want to admit we need help. But, the truth is you do need help- everyone does. You do not have to do everything alone. Allow people to help you. Remember, it makes them feel good to give so allow them that.
*Mistake #6: You Forget The Little Girl In You
Weren’t you a joyful little girl, before all of this responsibility took over? You are still that same little girl inside. Uncover her. Remember her dreams. Ask for what you want, just like she did.
*Mistake #7: You Float Along Instead of Fly Towards

We are so busy living the day to day, that we often don’t have time to think of tomorrow. However, to get where you want in life, you have to plan. You have to know where you want to go. So, stop floating, decide where you want to go, and fly towards it with purpose.
If you’re making these mistakes:
1. Admit them.
2. Forgive them.
3. Take action now to correct them.
Expect your life to soon be filled with happiness, joy and laughter.
