Self Care for Moms (Guilt Free)
Permission fairy just landed. It's okay to take care of yourself. Admittedly, self care for moms is an enigma. Either we’re wonder woman helping everyone conquer the world (needing nothing in return) or we’re so stressed that we can’t even run the water to take a bath without yelling at someone as we lock the door behind us. Maybe you're wondering: Isn't there more to motherhood than this? Resentment and anger are natural responses when our own needs are overlooked and not met. Even if we didn't know we actually had needs - let alone figure out what they are. Traditionally, moms take care of everyone else first. Whatever is "leftover" in terms of time, money, and friendships is typically what mom accepts. But there is often very little, if anything left over. If there is an extra 30 minutes to a day, moms usually take a shower. And feel they "earned it." But The Mom Whisperer® believes that the central core of motherhood includes defining what you need, making time to get it, and integrating personal refueling into the family model. Sometimes it takes creative solutions for moms to get what they need, but when they make nurturing themselves a priority in the schedule a magical thing happens. Everyone benefits. Self care is different for every mom, and essential. When we're strong, resilient, and focused, everything runs better - from the morning crunch to bedtime. The Mom Whisperer® can help you better define what you need, uncover the time to get it, and integrate personal refueling into the family model. Hey, wonder woman never had kids. Here are some quick-start resources to help begin the practice of guilt-free mom self-care:
