When was the last time you had “me-time” and how did you spend that time?
I think “me-time” is super important, especially for a new mom where everything is new and overwhelming. Every morning I wake up before my girl, have a quick 40 minute workout, take a hot shower, make a hot coffee and get ready for the day. Yes, it means waking up a little early but for me it makes me feel like me!
What are some of your favourite ways to practice self care?
My favourite ways to practice self-care are getting a manicure and pedicure, doing an at home facial and fueling my body with nourishing foods and daily movement.
What advice would you give to mamas struggling to create “me-time”? How do you make time in your schedule for yourself?
“Me-time” and self-care is going to look different for everyone but it is so important for our sanity mamas! The way I look at it is, in order for me to take care of my little, I need to be my best self so I need to take care of me! Write it down in a day planner or on a calendar. Schedule it as date with yourself, it’s not selfish, it’s essential. Even if it’s 10 minutes a day, I promise it will make a difference.
I’m a morning person, so I schedule my me-time in the morning when everyone is still sleeping. The house is quiet and I do what I need to do!
