The best inheritance a mother can leave her children is to have healed as a woman. Throughout life, a woman plays a long list of roles. One of the most important is being a mother. If we add to this that a mother does not stop being a woman, daughter, sister, wife, girlfriend, or friend, we find ourselves with a lot of knotted priorities.
Untangling these roles is quite complicated if we take into account that we live in a society that imposes certain obligations on women simply because they are women.
Thus, it is our responsibility to heal women's relationships with themselves, both present and future. It is essential to do so now, for in this way we will educate our daughters in the great value of self-respect, as well as our sons to respect the feminine world.
The objective is that neither they impose expectations nor they impose obligations or sacrifices on themselves because they were born women. Consequently, it is only logical that we now ask ourselves how can we know if we have healed the woman within us.
How do you know if you have healed the woman?
A healthy woman ignores the role of the sufferer that society imposes on her, being a woman does not mean having to put up with our emotional limits being exceeded. In addition, a healthy woman recognizes her value and that of the rest of the women in the world, without half-measures or inferiority.
Another pending subject is sexuality. To enjoy it fully, to love, respect, and not hide it is very difficult in our world. However, a complete person respects her desires and her needs, allowing herself to explore and enhance all kinds of concerns.
Another of the great lessons a woman can give her children is to have allowed herself to heal her emotional wounds, while at the same time not letting her past destroy her present. This step is complicated, but closing stages and wounds means building a better present for oneself.
Healthy relationships are only established when we stop burdening others with our responsibility and the weight of our life.
On the other hand, a mother must avoid both being emotionally dependent on her children and creating dependencies in them. This step is indispensable in order to be able to offer a great present and future legacy, since it means learning to give and receive in equal measure.
What if, in spite of this, a woman ceases to be herself because of the burden of motherhood...?
If a woman has truly healed herself, she does not conceive of her children as a burden. The upbringing and the relationship of a mother with her children is one way or another according to the stages in which we find ourselves.
For this reason, although it may be more or less difficult to walk through life according to the circumstances, knowing how to put everything in its place is one of the greatest gifts we develop when we heal as women.
A woman who has healed herself inside knows that she is indispensable to no one except herself. This woman will not wait for the others to come to her.
