A Reminder for Moms to Take Care of Self

Hey there, it’s MomJonz. I’m baaack!! I’ve taken some much needed time to get my life together and refill my cup. Let’s get back to it! I want to talk about something important for everyone – especially moms – to prioritize: ME time.

As a mom, I know firsthand how easy it is to get caught up in the hustle and bustle of daily life. We’re constantly juggling responsibilities, from taking care of our families to managing our careers and everything in between. It can be easy to forget about our own needs and desires in the midst of all this chaos.

Prioritizing ME Time

That’s why I want to remind you of the importance of carving out time for yourself every single day. Whether it’s taking a walk, enjoying the outdoors, taking a nap, reading a book, or indulging in a favorite hobby, it’s crucial to prioritize self-care and make time for the things that bring YOU joy.

I know it might seem counterintuitive – after all, we’re often taught to put others first and prioritize their needs. But here’s the thing: when we take care of ourselves, we’re better equipped to care for others. When we’re stressed, exhausted, and burnt out, it’s much harder to show up as our best selves for the people we love.

On the other hand, when we make self-care a priority, we’re able to recharge our batteries and show up fully present and engaged in our relationships. We’re able to bring our best selves to the table and be there for others in a more meaningful way.

Stop Being Crazy Busy

So if you’re feeling guilty or selfish for wanting to make time for yourself, I’m here to tell you it’s NOT selfish. Prioritizing your own needs is not only okay – it’s essential for your overall well-being. And by doing so, you’re actually supporting and benefiting the people around you.

Now, I know that carving out ME time can be easier said than done. We all lead “busy” lives, and it can be tough to find even a few spare minutes in the day. But I encourage you to get creative and think outside the box. Maybe that means waking up a little earlier to enjoy a cup of coffee in peace before the day gets started. Maybe it means setting aside 15 minutes during your lunch break to take a walk, listen to some music or just sit and watch your favorite TV show. Or maybe it means asking for help of a friend or family member to watch the kids for an hour while you take a much-needed break.

Whatever it looks like for you, I urge you to make ME time a non-negotiable part of your daily routine. Prioritizing self-care is not selfish – it’s an act of love and kindness to yourself and those around you. So go ahead and indulge in that bubble bath, take that yoga class, or simply take a few deep breaths and soak in the quiet. You NEED & DESERVE it!

Grab this mug when it’s time to take some ME TIME! We all need a little time for ourselves. Enjoy your cup of coffee in this mug to remind yourself and others to give you a moment. Remember: YOU NEED & DESERVE IT!
