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

For the sake of honesty I am a single mama, and the last time I had me time I went on a coffee date. We walked around a park and that was absolutely lovely and also the only time I’ve used me time for such a thing. Usually it’s yoga studio or the gym. 

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

I try to do yoga every day, even if it’s only a few minutes and I have a toddler hanging off of me for most of my practice. It’s the best way for me personally to clear my mind and feel in a better mood, also my son loves trying poses with me. I would suggest this to anyone no matter where you are in your practice. 

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

I know how hard it is to make it. I’m a single mom for goodness sake and there are feelings of guilt that come more strongly for those of us that do it alone I believe. Still if you have someone you trust who loves your child try to have them baby sit for an hour. Or when they go to bed, some nights worry less about the picking up and worry more about you. Every night this week instead of doing dishes or some mindless task I’ve been reading a book about flowers just because it interests me and is beautiful.
