When was the last time you had “me-time” and how did you spend that time?
I’m at a confinement centre now. Everyday I get a postnatal massage and I always look forward to that 2 hours of me-time to fix and rejuvenate my tired body after a long night of staying up breastfeeding and not enough sleep.
What are some of your favourite ways to practice self care?
I love soaking myself in bath tub, put in magnesium flakes, or any other scented oil and put on some music. If I’m in the mood I’ll light the candles.
Sometimes I paint. I’ve enrolled myself into numerous painting and lettering classes. Best time to practice.
I go to the gym or yoga centre sometimes too to keep myself healthy.
What advice would you give to mamas struggling to create “me-time”? How do you make time in your schedule for yourself?
If mamas are too busy to make me- time, begin with a 5 minute meditation. Focus on breathing and self affirmations. Then move forward from there. Mamas gotta focus on themselves in order to ‘serve’ others better.
