Self-Care Saturday

After reflecting on the last few days, I know that as a parent I need to practice what I preach and ensure better self-care. I have been trying to juggle work and housework, within the hours my little one sleeps whilst still getting some sleep myself. I try to do most of my work early morning before she wakes or in the evening after she has gone to bed.

However, some nights I haven’t got much sleep. This is not sustainable, as we all know – we need sleep! The last few days have taught me, that something needs to change.

Introducing … Self-Care Saturday!

Today, I will be:

– Having a ‘cuppa’ and biscuit or two

– Snuggling under the duvet for some sleep

– Reading a book of my own. (I read so many books to my little one and forget about myself. Modelling reading is self-care for both of us).

You too should choose a day of the week where you reward yourself with some time to look after yourself. Ensure you make time to do the things you enjoy and recharge your batteries.
