Self care

I can’t stress how important this has become for me

To have some sort of routine

I used to sleep in as long as possible

Simply because I was so drained from the previous day

Once I began to wake up at least 1 hour

Before my family

To just talk to God

Meditate on his word

Slowly I began to paint again

I was so lost and feeling resentful

But why?

Because I didn’t have time?

As a SAHM

You have time

YOU are in control

Create around your schedule

Give yourself the time mama

You deserve it.

Bc as long as you take care of you

The rest will fall into place

God will provide

Raising God fearing children is my plan

And it starts with that one hour everyday

I hope you find the time to meditate his word

Have a blessed day 🥰

... Read moreSelf-care is not just a trend; it is essential for maintaining a balanced and fulfilling life, especially for mothers managing family responsibilities. It begins with prioritizing time for yourself, as illustrated in the journey of many stay-at-home moms (SAHMs) who feel drained and overwhelmed. Creating a morning routine, such as waking up early and having quiet time for reflection or meditation, allows you to reconnect with yourself and set a positive tone for the day. Engaging in activities you love, like painting or journaling, can also be rejuvenating and help express your emotions. Moreover, self-care practices foster emotional resilience, allowing you to nurture your family better. When you focus on your well-being, you model healthy habits for your children. They learn the importance of self-respect and the need to care for their mental health. Incorporating these teachings into your parenting not only makes you a better mom but also cultivates a loving and supportive environment where everyone thrives. It's vital to remind yourself that by caring for yourself, you're also caring for your loved ones. Each small effort of self-care contributes to a structured and nurturing home life. Remember, taking time for yourself is not selfish; it’s an essential part of being a great mom. So, fill your cup, share love, and watch your family flourish.
