Two minutes with … Scarlett Wilson, mama to Anjali, 21 months

When was the last time you had “me-time” and how did you spend that time?

I’m lucky enough to get some ‘me-time’ every Wednesday morning. My husband has the day off so he takes my daughter and I attend my favourite local yoga class. I love it and always come home feeling super refreshed and relaxed. 

What are some of your favourite ways to practice self care?

Practicing yoga - even if I can only do 5 minutes in a day, walks on the beach and snuggling up with a book. 

What advice would you give to mamas struggling to create “me-time”? How do you make time in your schedule for yourself?

Make ‘me-time’ a priority. So often we get caught up in caring for everyone else we forget we need time for ourselves. Look for ways you can have some me-time in your regular routine and schedule it in. While your kids are asleep, when your partner is home or when someone can take your kids for you. Even if it’s only 10 minutes to start with you will feel so much better for it. I like to take some me-time at night when my daughter is asleep - I try and do some yoga, meditation or read one of my favourite books.
