"Self-care is not self-indulgence, it is self preservation." - Audra Lorde
Mama’s I know we are the heart and soul of our families - we give and give to our kids, our partners, our house, our jobs, but when was the last time you really took a moment for yourself? When was the last time you felt relaxed, you felt joy, you felt great about yourself? From experience, it is so easy to get caught up in all the chaos, or comparing yourself to others, or the self-doubt, that self-care goes right out the window. But it’s crucial for our well-being: mentally, physically, and emotionally to check-in with ourselves and make sure we reconnect with who we are and who we want to become.
I cannot repeat this enough - self-care is not selfish. It is indeed a necessity. It rejuvenates our minds, bodies, and spirit. It helps fill our cups up. When we have a full cup, we can give more to those around us. When we take care of ourselves, our cups get fuller and fuller and fuller, and we can start spilling our cups over into other areas of our lives.
When was the last time you really felt emotionally, mentally, or physically full? Have you ever been burnt-out as a mom? Stressed? Overwhelmed? Ever felt not good enough? I've been there too. I struggled for years not feeling like myself, feeling lost, and I wasn't present as a mother or a partner. It wasn't until I was desperate for change that I stumbled upon life coaching - and that rabbit hole (6 years later) led me to a life of caring for and caring about myself.
Establishing a self-care routine, especially as a mom, will help you: reduce stress, improve your emotional resilience, increase your energy and mood, you will start to love yourself and your body, you will yell less, create a simple and realistic cleaning routine, have more patience with kids and your partner, let go of mom guilt, and overall have a more positive mindset. And think about what this shift can do for your kids, for your family dynamics.
It is my mission in 2024 to help 1,000 moms give back to themselves through self-care.
Remember, you deserve the time and care for yourself that you give to others. You are doing a great job.
