Time for you
Sometimes we need to give ourselves permission to relax or treat ourselves. Even very small things we can do for ourselves can help us. The benefits will be that we relax, charge our batteries, feel better about ourselves and our family, feel better about life and more able to cope. Nurturing ourselves helps us take better care of our children. Sit down and work out what might really help you. a few ideas may be:
Reduce pressure - If you don't want to do something , give yourself permission to say no. Friends and family will understand.
Friendships - Spend some quality time with friends that make you feel good.
Hobbies - Find something that you enjoy doing and that helps you feel calm. Whether it is exercise or crafts, doing something for you can help you feel good.
Go offline - Being on social media can be overwhelming. Taking some time away can help you refocus and clear your mind.
Self-care - Self-care should be an essential part of your daily routine. Maybe a good book, a nice walk or some meditation can be the tonic you need. Just 10 minutes a day can help you feel better.
Feed your soul - Eating nutritious meals is very important for your wellbeing. It can give you much needed energy and be healthier for you and your family.
