We Are the Example for Our Children

We are the example for our children.

It’s our job first - as their teachers, guides, and role models.

I’m traveling for work this week and my girl is with me.

“Why do you wake up early to work out even when you’re traveling?” she asked.

I explained that taking care of our health is perhaps even more important when we are physically moving from place to place and all the stress that comes along with that.

Plus, doesn’t exercise make us feel better in general? Why wouldn’t we want to start the day with that feeling when we are experiencing once in a lifetime travel moments?

Next thing I know, she’s asking to work out with me. Which we did while laughing and listening to our favorite music. 💪

What a beautiful start to the day, a reminder that our kids look up to us and, when they are young, they want to be like us.

Would you want your kid to be like you? It’s a question I ask myself often.

I’m not a perfect mom, there’s plenty I could improve and plenty that I’ve messed up, but one thing I know for sure is that I take my responsibility as her role model seriously.

So I’ll keep waking up early even when I’m traveling and even when I don’t feel like it, because I know someone is watching. 💫

Have a great day, my friends!
