How to be an imperfectly perfect role model

Someone recently asked me what I do and I paused  for a brief moment, I replied with: I inspire moms to be an imperfectly perfect role model to their children by creating harmony and calmness in their own lives.  How does one do this in this crazy, fast paced, stressful and demanding world? Let's look at this prime example:
  "There are days where I am so tired, I get so overwhelmed and can't pull it all together.  I have in my head exactly what it is all supposed to look like, but I never get there.  I get stressed and start wondering if I will ever catch up, my anxiety builds and then I take my anger out on my children. I feel guilty and horrible afterwards."
  I hear this kind of example a lot. We all are rushing to get somewhere and never stop to think about the moment we are in. It is in that space, [the present], where one must seek out that calmness or see it for what it is, so as not to get overwhelmed about the future. I realize this is easier said than done, especially when our hormones are off balance. This is where I like to introduce the 80 /20 rule.  This rule is my favorite as it allows us room for error.  For example, if we are aware 80 percent of the time of our emotions and are able to control them, then consciously we are much better off than most. It's that 20 percent of the time where our emotions creep up and get the best of us and sometimes impossible to control.  It's like a life force takes control of us and leaves us helpless especially, when we are stressed. When this happens try to catch yourself and at the very least apologize immediately.
  This is the example that a imperfectly perfect role model projects.  It says "hey, I am not perfect, I have faults, I make mistakes and I am sorry." If after you have calmed down, you can use what happened to teach the lesson to your child. "Mommy is sorry she is a hormonal lunatic, but you have to understand you better do as she says during that time of the month or never know who you will get behind the mask." This is something I wish we could say and they would understand, however the truth is they don't. Instead, we can use this example, "mommy got upset because we were running late and you weren't listening. We have to be responsible and be at school at  a certain time so, can you please be respectful and try harder next time?"
  I don't care what advice you get how to streamline your morning or what time management lessons you have learned, there are just days where it just doesn't work.  It's OK- we are human beings, (not human doings) and are not supposed to have it all together ALL of the time. Most of all, try to take things and put it into perspective and prioritize. Are you better off being a few minutes late then freaking out being a raging lunatic? yes and it's OK. Most of all apologize to yourself, again, you are not perfect so do not expect your child to be. A true goddess knows that we set the example for our children so, be the person you want them to grow up to be. Be kind to yourself and show compassion, it has the ripple effect.
