Are you taking care of yourself? 

Women are very great at taking care of other people and putting themselves, and sometimes their spouses last.

How do you, most especially those who stay at home with children, feel day after day, hour after hour, with no real break in sight? 

It is safe to say that you are tiring yourself out that you just have nothing left to give.

What can you let go to be more revived and ready to be there for your marriage?

Self-care is not selfish, it is one of the best thing you can do for yourself, your partner and kids. Taking a break from family can make you feel guilty but a few hours away can re-energise you so you can get back to being a mum and a wife. 

Being ready for your children at all times can cause burnout and make things that could be everyday pleasure feel like everyday chore. That’s why it’s important that all parents start taking real, regular days off.

This could mean asking your partner to take the day off from an office job and be with the kids, or asking a family member to cover you for a day or hiring a maid.

I hear you saying, but nobody can do it better than me, well, sorry to let you down, if you eventually die, these people would live their lives beautifully without you. They will mourn you of course, for a few days, months, years and yes they would remember you once in a while, but the truth still remains that they can live and do well without you. 

Dear wife and mother, you matter, take that break now before your body asks for it.

Whatever you need to do, make it happen.

With Love,
