Somewhere along the way, many of us learned that rest, boundaries, slow mornings or saying no makes us selfish.
But your body doesn’t see it that way.
It sees nourishment, safety and stability. It sees a chance to reset, to regulate, to come back into balance.
Self care allows you to actually live life with clarity, energy and presence.
Those moments that feel “indulgent” are the most important moments of our lives.
For me I absolutley love:
🧘♀️ Scheduling in 10 minutes meditation every week with my besties (we do this online via Insight Timer as we all live in different states). We have made this a priority to maintain our connection but also our self care during our busy lives.
🏃♀️ Prioritising exercise
💆♀️ Giving myself a quick head massage when I wash my hair
🍷 Sometimes enjoying a glass of good wine with dinner
🌅 Stopping no matter what I’m doing to watch and take in the sunset
💅🏻 Booking in a facial or massage every few months
🍮 Ordering dessert and enjoying every mouthful!
It’s still challenging to not feel guilty when doing something for myself. As a mum, we are so used to putting everyone else first to create and maintain a happy household. I sometimes still feel guilty for doing something for me however I remind myself that I can’t pour from an empty cup. I know I’m a much better partner and mum when I have prioritised my self care. It also teaches my kids that they need to do this for themselves too!
I’d love to know what your self care moments are! Let me know in the comments 💜
