When it comes to finding inspiration on a day when the heat index is so high, and the kids are complaining about the heat, I find solace in positive thinking quotes. Being a work at home parent means you have to juggle a bit more.

Each day I wake up and brew the coffee on the picnic table at our campsite.

I listen to the boys’ conversations where they ask 100 ridiculous questions.

I hear them engage in funny chats, as I drink my coffee and try to wake up.

These days, life isn’t so easy.

No, it’s not our current lifestyle that’s getting to me. It’s honestly that feeling that my past trauma will continuously haunt me.

There are things that come up just when I think that the past chapter was resolved.

It drives me batty and starts to discourage me.

The good thing is that I’m reminded that “we will get through this” and that helps keep me motivated.

I know that my family is together, for the most part, and that all will be fine in the long run.

The reality of being a work at home mom whether you’re dealing with a past traumatic scenario or not is that you won’t always have the motivation to get up and get to work.

Some days you’ll want to play with the kids.

Some days you’ll want to go on a road trip, leaving work behind.

Some days the reality of past trauma will hit you harder than other days and you’ll have no idea how to find that inner spark to get moving to work.

When it comes to being a work at home mom who knows there’s more to life than making money, I try my best to read inspirational quotes like the ones featured here today. These 15 inspirational quotes to live by will help you look at life through a different set of eyes as you work to find the motivation to get that work at home done today!
