Do you find it easier to take care of your family, than yourself? I think that moms have so much pressure on them, that neglecting themselves can be rationalized as love for their families. Have you ever felt this way? There’s an endless struggle to keep it all balanced, which should include time for us. How do you make time for yourself and avoid this thinking?
Time for Mom, little things that make a big difference.
- Grab lunch or coffee with a girlfriend.
- Read a great book, outside in the fresh air.
- Take a bath, light candles, put on a face mask, and make it a big deal.
- Make a photo album of the best moments of your life. Remind yourself of who you are, and not as a mom and a wife, but perhaps an athlete or whatever it is that you love.
- Treat yourself to a massage .
- If you take your children to a class at the Y, sign yourself up for one too.
- Join a hiking, running, or walking club.
Happy Valentine’s Day, Moms!
With Love,
Kim
