Moms learn how to set – and achieve – their goals

Having a dream is one thing, but making it a reality is another. Like every single one of us, the mothers of the Witkoppen Clinic’s support group have dreams of their own. But, as all mums know, priorities change when the little ones arrive, and many of those dreams get left as just that – dreams.

Support sessions are sponsored by Cuddlers, Witkoppen Clinic, and the Fourways Review under the banner of Caxton Cares.

Ana Cardoso, a breastfeeding counsellor from Portugal and volunteer at the Witkoppen Clinic, recently led a support session on how mums can plan to achieve their goals.

“There are a lot of small goals that make up a big goal. Some dreams seem like an impossible mountain to climb, but when you break up the main goal into smaller ones, those become your stepping stones to reach the top,” said Cardoso.

The mums were told to go through magazines and find pictures of what their life would look like when they’d achieved their individual goals. They were strongly encouraged to take these pictures home and put them where they could see them every day remind them of what they are working towards.

Murray Booth, the marketing executive at Cuddlers, encouraged mums not to give up on their dreams and goals, even if they fail their first attempts.

Dagmar Kahn, the business development manager at Witkoppen Clinic, encouraged the Witkoppen mums to also use these sessions to work towards their dreams.
