What if we stopped seeing self-care as a special favour to ourselves, but something as necessary as food and sleep? I have a bit of a love-hate relationship with the concept of self care. I think the idea behind it is great, but I hate that it puts the onus on us to do some sort of grand gesture for ourselves, when genuinely we barely have time to even just go and have a shower!
So in this episode I'm introducing what I call mini me-moments, and I explain why I think they could be the game changer for you when it comes to motherhood. I discuss:
Why it's important to find time for yourself
How to find that time
How to make it work for you (not anyone else)
How to make it stick
Practical suggestions on what to do in the time that you have
