When was the last time you had “me-time” and how did you spend that time?
As a mom, anytime I’m alone without my daughter even if it’s for an hour, is “me-time” for me and the last time was actually this past week when she went with her dad. I spent this time burning candles, relaxing in bed and reading a book. It was pretty relaxing and I honestly get to enjoy this about once or twice a week.
What are some of your favourite ways to practice self care?
Some of my favorite ways to practice self care are to apply a face mask, relax outdoors in my hammock, read a book, and just recently, I started to journal.
What advice would you give to mamas struggling to create “me-time”? How do you make time in your schedule for yourself?
Honestly, I would say to take that time, no matter what there’s is always some time for “me-time” it’s so easy for us to forget to unwind and focus on ourselves for a bit but we need to, even if it’s for 5 minutes. Take that walk, drink that tea, do whatever you need to do to just relax and focus on yourself. To avoid overworking myself, when my daughter naps, I try to take at least 15 minutes for myself before I start to clean up or working on my business.
