Winter holidays are over, the children have returned to school, and it’s back to business as usual for moms everywhere.

Probably not, but how about New Year Momtras or New Year’s Resolutions and Mantras for Type A Moms that are actually attainable. First, let’s explore two things: What is a Type A Mom, and what is a Mantra?
A Type A Mom is a mom who is driven and strives to be perfect in all aspects of her life, from her career to her family life. She works hard and sets high standards for herself and her family. She is organized, goal-oriented and often finds ways to be more efficient. She loves to stay busy and is always looking for ways to improve her life and the lives of her family members. She is also often seen as a “control freak” and can be intimidating to those around her. Although Type A Moms may seem intimidating, they are usually driven, motivated, and have the best intentions for their families. Is that you?
A mantra is a short phrase or sound that is repeated often during meditation and prayer. It is used to help focus the mind and give the meditator a sense of peace and calm. Mantras can be spoken silently or aloud and can be used to help manifest desired outcomes and manifest positive energy.
