This week on the Summer Mumma Podcast I talk about why being busy won't help you be the best mum?
With a never-ending list of jobs to do, it is easy to get stuck in a downward spiral of doing everything. I think as a mum we can all relate to this. Even if you are not a mother and do the same you need to hear this. So for this episode, I ask that you grab a pen and paper to note down what we discuss, especially if you can resonate with feeling like this. Here we discuss the 5 signs you may not be making your self-care a priority:
1. You don't feel like yourself anymore, 3. Your own time or care is on the to-do list, 4. You feel guilty about doing this and put yourself last.  To hear the full 5 listen to the episode.

Believe it or not, there are reasons why we don't take care of ourselves and I want to show you why? This will likely be different for each of us but once we become more aware this can help us find our way back.
Beliefs play a big part, 1. You think it is selfish to care for myself, 2. Being strong allows us to sacrifice our own needs to meet the needs of others, 3. I don't deserve it, as you feel you have not earned this, 4. I don't have time to focus on me, 5. My circumstances don't allow this

Ways to make your self-care a daily routine:
Identify what you think, that belief, maybe that has been getting in the way of your self-care. Stop and acknowledge your feelings and say thank you for your thoughts and acknowledge them. It is just a thought you can easily change even if it is only small to begin.

I shared 5 easy ways you can incorporate care into each day.
