I’ve been working so hard on taking care of everyone else I have lost sight of my me time 😬 in the last 7 weeks we have moved our family half way across the United States, temporarily moved in with hubbys grandma (lord help us), gone on two family vacations that were really for the kiddos (Disney and beach vacay), have nearly throat punched my in laws due to their disrespectful manners and treatment towards my children and me so that has caused issues between me and hubs, have started a new job at a new gym, gained some new clients local and in other states, helped hubby with starting his new job (previous company I worked for hired him), have taken care of my ill grandmother, got the minions situated into their doctor and schools and now we just closed on our new home so we shall be moving again..... I found myself today with mixed emotions happy well more like ecstatic but too drained to celebrate or even smile. I literally cried and I mean ugly cried. So I did a self assessment and realized what i preach to my clients and fellow mommas “you can’t pour from an empty cup so you NEED to find time for yourself” I was totally ignoring it and I was letting life happen. So now that I’m aware of the whirlwind I’ve been caught in what will I do? I’ll start by my daily meditation, and including my workout into my busy schedule as if it was a dr appt. I’ve always been used to 4-5 workouts a week and I found myself in the last 7 weeks barely getting in twice a week. I’m also going back to basics and reminding the kiddos momma needs her 30 mins to herself daily so while baby naps all older boys are to keep themselves busy and quiet. It may sound selfish, and the mom guilt does kick in for me during those 30 mins but I remind myself it’s only 30 mins of 24 hours and It’ll help me be a better mom, wife and person. Self care is so important ladies and even for someone who teaches this on a daily, it can be quite easy to get caught up with everything else. #positiveenergy #selfcare #womenempoweringwomenwednesday
