18: Striving for a Self Care Lifestyle in any Season of Motherhood with Sara Miller

Let me make this clear: You are worthy of your own time. You are worthy of your own money. You are worthy of your own health. You are worthy. You are worthy. You are worthy. As our flight attendants always remind us: we must secure our own oxygen masks first, before assisting our children. This is so we don’t lose so much oxygen that we are incapable of securing their masks properly. In our everyday life, it’s important to care for ourselves first, so we are mentally and physically able to care for our children. How can we expect to take care of our children if we can’t take care of ourselves? How can we expect them to learn to care for themselves if we aren’t setting the example? If we aren’t caring for ourselves, not only do we rob our children of modeling a healthy example for their own self-care, we rob them of a happy, healthy mom. Self-care is the first step we can take towards preventing stress, fear, overwhelm, anxiety and depression from taking the driver’s seat in our lives. When we constantly take the time to analyze what we need physically, mentally, and even spiritually, we can catch the first signs of distress before they take root. Setting aside time for self care as a mom can be extremely difficult - and if we struggle to squeeze it in we may begin to develop feelings of resentment toward our loved ones and we don’t need that kind of guilt to build up. Join me as we chat with Sara Miller as we discuss some of the many ways to incorporate self care into your every day.
