You can’t pour from an empty cup they say, and it’s true. But what fills your cup?
Some might say spa days, girls’ weekends, time at the gym. But I would say that daily rest, reading good books, morning coffee doctored up just the way you like it, a flexible schedule in which you have full control, and as much homemade food as you can produce is a much better place to start.
Some days taking care of yourself will mean a mid-day nap. Sometimes it’s a snack before you make dinner so you have the patience to withstand toddlers under foot and cranky children.
Taking care of yourself when you are with your children all day is not a luxury, it’s a necessity. And when you realize that you will regularly fit it into your schedule, guilt free.
What are some practical ways you can take care of yourself today?
