When was the last time you had “me-time” and how did you spend that time?
Three weeks ago. I had a particularly rough week, the week prior, I called Endota and booked in for a massage. Truth be told I’ve had a voucher from my husband since Christmas and that was the first time I’ve used it! wayyyy overdue. It was incredible, just what I needed.
What are some of your favourite ways to practice self care?
My days are pretty busy. I make it to the gym 2 x per week, sometimes 3 and my driving factor is the sauna after. That’s my favourite me time. Other than that, hmmm I eat super healthy, I’m a bit of a health nut, so I spend a good deal of time on the weekend preparing healthy meals for the week ahead. Healthy eating, early nights, they are things I don’t budge on no matter how busy I am.
What advice would you give to mamas struggling to create “me-time”? How do you make time in your schedule for yourself?
I’m not great at making time. I’m still learning. learning and trying. The gym is a necessity for my mental and physical health. The one way I ensure it , is to get all 3 kids to bed early! That way I can have me time after they go to bed. I get a good chunk in that way and look forward to it. I usually use that time to have a bath, or a glass of wine and some dark chocolate, chocolate at the end of every day just makes everything better.
