If I had a dollar for every time I heard a busy, working mom say she wishes she had more time for herself, I’d be up there at the top of the Forbes Wealthiest People list.
Honestly, I’d be one of those moms contributing a few dollars myself.
The truth is that we have the choice of whether we dedicate some of our time to our own self-love and self-care or not. We are the primary obstacle in our own way of having the time for ourselves. We are saying YES to so many other things that by default we end up saying NO to our own self-care.
Even if you are super busy working, parenting, managing life and relationships, if you really wanted some time to focus on YOU and your needs, I know you could find it. It’s going to require you to say NO to some other things and YES to your own self-love. Are you up for the challenge
Weekly Coaching Challenge: Dedicate 30 minutes each day to YOUR self-love and self-care. This requires you to *choose* YOU instead of something else.
Example: last night I read a book in a hot bath instead of getting on the computer. It was 30 minutes of relaxation that did not require me to think, do or be anything for anyone else. I slept GREAT afterwards! Share what self-love/self-care choices you make this week.
If you don’t think this is possible or you feel unable to do this, let me know! I’d love to hear (and challenge) your reasons why. Remember that life is a series of choices. The more conscious and deliberate you are with making choices that support your priorities, the happy and more peaceful you will feel.
