During motherhood we have been trained to put ourselves and our health LAST.

We literally go through the hardest thing, making a whole human being, and are expected to put all of our wants and needs after everyone else’s.

That is doable for a little while, but not sustainable.

How are we expected to take care of tiny humans if we don’t take care of ourselves regularly?

I don’t mean just a shower alone or going to the grocery store by yourself.

I mean doing a self evaluation on your physical, emotional, and spiritual necessities and doing what you need to do.

It’s a hard lesson to learn and I want to help y’all learn it way before I did!!

So, first easy step is to close your eyes and think about one thing that would help you that you haven’t been able to do since beginning your mom role, or haven’t been able to do nearly enough.

Is it a trip to the gym? Pedicure? Coffee with a friend? A date with your spouse? Appointment with your counselor? Splurge on some health supplements or a new outfit? Buying your favorite protein powder instead of the crap at the stores to save a buck? There’s no wrong answer. the only wrong answer is doing nothing.

Second step is a little harder. What can you do to make this happen? Asking a grandparent to watch the kids for a bit? Hire a babysitter? Look for a gym with a kids zone? Get creative in order to make it happen!

I would love to bounce ideas around with you to help you to reach your goal. I know sometimes when things get crazy, everything seems impossible and overwhelming. I can help talk things through with you.

However you are feeling, you are not alone. Drop a comment below with your one ☝️ thing you would like to do or “need some help” if you need help figuring it out.
