How to Make Time for me: A Self-Care Guide to Happy Motherhood

A staggering 78% of moms put off taking care of their own health in order to care for their family.

It's easy to hear the term 'self-care' and think that it sounds like an indulgence, or something you simply don't have time for. If you have a house full of little ones to look after, putting them first is the #1 priority.

You have to make sure they're fed, washed and dressed; you're endlessly running them to this activity or that one; you're picking up toys 24/7; and the laundry pile seems to grow every time you look away. Where's the time for you?

If that sounds familiar, consider the expression, "You can't pour from an empty cup."

You can only give what you have. If you're running on empty, you don't have the resources you need to be the best mom you can be -- and what's more, your health and happiness are going to take a big knock.

Taking time out for self-care is correlated with better mental health, better physical health and improved relationships.

The bottom line is this: if you're going to be a better mom, a happier person, and a more fulfilled version of yourself, you have to take the time for self-care.

In fact, putting self-care at the top of your priority list is putting your children first.

When your tank is full, you have energy. You have enthusiasm. You have everything to give. And your children are only going to benefit from that.
