Make the extra time for yourself gf and invest in your emotional, mental, and social health!!! Xo!!
Create Your Own Spa at Home
Set aside an evening/morning a week and to pamper yourself at home! You’ll feel so much better for it!!
– Light a candle
– Take a long bubble bath or hot shower
– Put on your fav face mask
– Give yourself a manicure + pedicure
– Take your time getting ready, do your hair + makeup!!!
Reflection Time
Us mama’s always have a million things on our never ending to-do list, right? I find it incredibly helpful when I carve out time in my day to acknowledge my thoughts and write them down!! There’s a few options for you!! And if not writing, even just taking time to REFLECT is important!!
– Start a gratitude journal!! Write down at least 1 thing you’re grateful for that day!! And for an extra gold start you can even say WHY!!!!
– Write down one word to describe your emotion for that day!! This will be great to look back on a month later!!
– Watch the sunrise or sunset!!! Take this time to dig deep and reflect!!!
– Read a book!! Or if you’re like my husband you can listen to a book!!
Health & Fitness
Whether you are a fitness guru or aren’t so confident with it, there is definitely something we can all do to invest in our physical health!!
– 5-15 minute stretching session!! This can be at any time!! I find that doing it at the same time helps build a routine!!
– Go for a walk!! I have been doing a lot of this lately!! I love and appreciate this time so much!!!
– Try new recipes!!! Food is medicine!!
