decided to try self care routine every night to hopefully help with my mental health. i have realized after the twins i have let myself go due to making time for everyone else taking care of everyone so it's time to take care of myself and make time for myself

Self care is important but self care is more than just a shower, that’s a necessity. Hope it makes you feel better!

I started doing this whole self care thing too! I journal in the morning, but started nightly journaling too, (gratitude's, affirmations and intentions), I also watch church service, mainly for the praise (unless it's a new service) since I've heard the previous preaching before. Then I take a hot bubble bath. Then do my face routine which is oil cleanser, regular cleanser w/face brush, toner, hyaluronic acid serum or vitamin C serum, then a moisturizer (depending on the need that day). I do a face mask a couple times a week too. Brush my teeth and go to bed💙

yes girl!! Helps me to stay positive! Mornings are best for this because you speak good things into existence for the day. In the evenings you can put things that happened that you are thankful for and write your feelings down, that's important. Also maybe write down a goal for tomorrow ❤️
Write down everything you're thankful for (gratitude's)
The goal of this is to remember a good event, experience, person, or thing in your life—then enjoy the good emotions that come with it.
Affirmations are positive thinking and self-empowerment! a positive mental attitude supported by affirmations will achieve success in anything!
write down your affirmations such as "I choose to be happy and love myself today", I will not worry about things I cannot control", "I am worthy" "I am brave, bold and beautiful". Etc etc
then write down your intentions--
Setting an intention or intentions for the day gives you focus for the day. It gives u something to keep u present within the moment vs. always looking super far in advance. Looking ahead is important but u only get to the future by staying present in the moment, setting intention for the day helps create the presence & helps keep you on track with a specific goal in mind!

That's super.important. I can't imagine the run around you get with 3 kiddos every day. Definitely take care of yourself, that's completely necessary.

there definitely isn't enough hours in the day lol but just a hour to myself to shower, wash my face and do my face mask, do my whitening strips and brush my teeth and hair every night before bed makes me feel better cause i'm doing something for me and making time for myself

This is a good start. Take a breather. I found a balance with exercise. ❤️
Getting sweaty to hid of the toxins🙌
