Five Things Your Mother Was Right About


I know it may be hard to admit, but our mother was right about a lot of things. Now that I am a mom myself, I am paying it forward.

Mothers have an uncanny ability to dispense advice that often turns out to be invaluable. They possess wisdom that comes from a deep well of experience and love. While we may not always appreciate or fully understand their words of wisdom at the time, there are moments in life when we realize that our mothers were right all along. My mother was right about a lot of things (don’t tell her I said that–LOL), and I will explore five areas where our mothers’ advice has proven to be remarkably accurate and beneficial.

The Importance of Good Posture

Do you remember your mother reminding you to sit up straight or not to slouch? As it turns out, she was absolutely right about the importance of good posture. Maintaining proper posture not only projects confidence and poise but also improves overall health. It reduces strain on the spine, prevents musculoskeletal problems, and even boosts mood and energy levels. So, straighten your back and thank your mother for her timeless advice.

The Value of a Balanced Diet

Mothers have always stressed the importance of a well-rounded, nutritious diet, and they were spot on. A healthy diet is the foundation for good physical and mental well-being. Your mother’s insistence on eating fruits and vegetables, avoiding excessive junk food, and maintaining a balanced meal plan was not just nagging; it was a valuable lesson in self-care. A balanced diet provides essential nutrients, strengthens the immune system, improves digestion, and improves overall longevity.

I know it may be hard to admit, but our mother was right about a lot of things. Now that I am a mom myself, I am paying it forward.

The Power of Rest and Sleep

“Get enough rest” is a phrase we’ve all heard countless times from our mothers. It turns out that she was right about the power of rest and sleep. It’s easy to overlook the importance of proper rest in our busy lives, but it plays a crucial role in our physical and mental health. Quality sleep promotes memory consolidation, supports immune function, aids in stress reduction, and enhances overall cognitive performance. So, take your mother’s advice to heart and prioritize getting sufficient restful sleep.

Trusting Your Intuition

Mothers have an innate ability to sense things and often urge us to trust our instincts. Their advice to listen to that inner voice is something we should take seriously. Intuition is a valuable tool that helps us make wise decisions and navigate through life’s uncertainties. It serves as an internal compass, guiding us toward what feels right. So, when you find yourself at a crossroads, remember your mother’s wise words and trust your intuition—it may lead you to the right path.

The Importance of Kindness and Empathy

Mothers are known for their unwavering kindness and empathy. They instill in us the values of compassion and consideration for others. Their teachings about the importance of kindness were not just lessons in etiquette; they were essential life skills. Being kind and empathetic towards others not only benefits them, but also fosters meaningful relationships, improves our own well-being, and contributes to a more harmonious society. So, remember your mother’s advice to treat others with kindness and understanding—it will make a world of difference.

I know it may be hard to admit, but our mother was right about a lot of things. Now that I am a mom myself, I am paying it forward.

Mothers possess a remarkable intuition and wisdom that often transcends time and generations. Looking back, we realize that our mothers were right about many things. From the importance of good posture and a balanced diet to the value of rest, trusting our intuition, and practicing kindness and empathy, their advice holds true and continues to shape our lives. As we reflect on the lessons our mothers imparted, let’s honor their wisdom and express our gratitude for their timeless guidance.

Now that I am a mom of two adults, I am passing along my mother’s wit to my kids. Hopefully, they are taking heed.
