When was the last time you had “me-time” and how did you spend that time?
Finding ‘me time’ as a new mum is much harder than it sounds! The last time I was able to grab some ‘me time’ was an evening about a week ago. Betsy was asleep after my husband did the bed time routine (Hubby is a gem) & all the household chores were for once up to date. I had a shower, put my pjs on and gave myself a bit of a pamper! I then sat down with a gin and tonic in front the telly, bliss.
What are some of your favourite ways to practice self care?
Self care is vital, especially as us mum’s are so busy so often. I like to get a takeaway latte and go for a walk, treat myself to a baby free wonder around town, meet a friend for lunch or sometimes just a long shower is the way forward (one that’s not rushed as you can hear the baby stirring)!
What advice would you give to mamas struggling to create “me-time”? How do you make time in your schedule for yourself?
My only advice would be that you matter too. We spend our whole life putting someone else before ourselves, quite rightly, but when your able to just take an hour or so to do what makes you smile. It’s good for the soul!
