When was the last time you had “me-time” and how did you spend that time?
This morning I went to a reformer Pilates class, my first one back since having my daughter 3 months ago. I love Pilates for the physical aspect but it also breaks up my week and gives me a bit of time to do something just for me, which is good for the soul.
What are some of your favourite ways to practice self care?
It could be something as extravagant (Well, as extravagant as it can get as a mum to 2 under 2) as a massage or facial or something as simple as a hot shower alone where I can take the time to wash my hair and shave my legs. I come out feeling like a new woman.
What advice would you give to mamas struggling to create “me-time”? How do you make time in your schedule for yourself?
I always tell myself (and my husband) “you can’t pour from an empty cup” and it’s so true! It’s so important to find the time to do something just for yourself. I’m very lucky I have my husband and also my parents who live close by to watch the girls so I can grab a bit of me time when I need it but it if you need to have a nice hot shower when the baby is asleep… and if they won’t sleep - bring the bouncer or play mat into the bathroom with you… Sometimes a mumma just has to shave her legs.
