Making Changes 🥰

I’m a 26 year old mom pursuing her first higher education degree in marketing. I have an almost three year old son I care for, in addition to babysitting my god daughter full time. I have an autoimmune disease called Multiple Sclerosis that makes my day-to-day life much harder to live. 🫣

I have put myself on the back burner for years now. It’s time to make changes! I’m prioritizing self-care! So far I’m taking my meds as soon as I wake up in the morning instead of procrastination, doing a full skincare routine twice a day, making the effort to drink half my weight in water each day, focusing on moving my body, being more mindful about the food I put in it, and making time to do things I enjoy like crochet. Baby steps but I’m doing it! 🫶🏼

What’s one thing you would say to someone making these changes? What piece of wisdom/advice/encouragement would you bestow? Help keep me motivated to stick with these priorities! And follow to watch me transform myself 🙌🏻

As a 26-year-old mom balancing higher education and family duties, finding time for self-care can feel overwhelming. Many with similar challenges can relate to the struggle of prioritizing personal health amidst daily responsibilities. Engaging in self-care is not just about pampering oneself; it plays a crucial role in enhancing mental and physical well-being. By taking medications promptly, following a skincare routine, staying hydrated, and focusing on nourishing foods, I’m taking steps towards a healthier lifestyle. Incorporating small changes can lead to significant improvements over time. Embracing mindfulness during meals and engaging in enjoyable activities like crochet can foster joy and reduce stress. This journey highlights that it’s possible to invest in our well-being while juggling various roles. Remember, it’s perfectly okay to seek support. Sharing experiences and advice with others can provide motivation and encouragement, making this journey collectively uplifting. What changes have you made for self-care? Let's inspire each other as we navigate our paths to wellness!

Hey I’m just here to support & learn from your story! Please post more because I for one have never met anyone with multiple sclerosis so I really appreciate that you’re making content in your life. I think that just having posts out there for awareness is so cool & I will definitely keep looking for you on my feed! 🍋
