Mommy Subscious Self-Centeredness

 

My health issues, our family fiances, our two daughters, our son who is incarcerated,  my own personal dreams and ambitions, death, dying, my children's safety in our sick, perverted and violent society, are my kids safe at school, is anyone around my children a child predator, etc.  These are all things that bombard my mommy mind on a daily basis.  So much so till they have become fears in my life that I have to battle with much, much prayer.

The other night after Larry and I put the children to bed and he fell fast asleep, I began to think, worry, think, and then worry.  The thought to pray popped into my head (I should have done just that), but to be honest, I did not want to.  I wanted to juggle these areas of fear and concern in my mind (as if I had the answer)!  After about an hour, I had an epiphany!  I realized that my thoughts were consumed with me, myself and I. I further came to the realization that I have become SUBCONSCIOUSLY SELF-CENTERED! 

You may wonder what that means, well I am glad you asked?  Being Subconsciously self-centered is when you do not purposely set out to always think about yourself and things that impact your life, but due to life circumstance, your own personal issues, fears, concerns, obligations, and duties, you turn most or all of your attention, thoughts and actions towards yourself.

As a moms, it is so easy for us to become subconsciously selfish!  Heck the society we live in thrives on selfishness and self-centeredness, whether it is consciously or subconsciously implemented.  Think about it, the majority of social media sites exist because millions of individuals find it necessary to post "selfies" and images that usually surround oneself.  It is to the point where many professionals believe that social media feeds the insatiable appetite that creates or inflates narcissistic individuals.

As moms, yes, we have to focus a large amount of attention, thought, concern, and energy towards our families.  However, the danger arises when we become so obsessed with all thing "family" till we forget to place some attention, thought, concern and energy into something or someone else.  So where can you start, you may be asking?  Well, I have always had a heart full of compassion and concern for parents who have children who are missing and exploited.  My heart aches anytime I see or hear of children being taken and abused by wicked, foul individuals.  So, I have provided a link on the far right of this blog site where you will see countless photos of missing and exploited children from the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children. 

Please join me in clicking on the NCMEC site and put in your state and view all the missing children in your area.  The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children website: www.missingkids.com has very helpful information as how people can donate, volunteer, and help in the fight.

Yes, life is full of ups and downs, but me constantly focusing on them does not help those who are in need.  Paying less attention to myself and more on others bring forth changes in more ways than one.
