Hi, lovely stepmoms!
Have you been so caught up in work and life in general that sometimes you have even forgotten about eating? Do you feel like you never get enough sleep? I have noticed that many of the StepMoms I work with have been slacking when it comes to self-care.
Why do we do this? Why do we neglect ourselves this way? We always put so much effort into making sure our kids and husband are properly nourished, that they have a nice environment they can come to and relax. We take care of everyone, but who takes care of us?
We Have to Take Care of Ourselves or No One Else Will
Let me tell you something: we have to take care of ourselves or no one else will. I don’t mean this in a sense that no one cares about us. But it is a fact. Our families are so used to us being the strong ones - the caretakers - that sometimes they forget we need caring ourselves.
Ask yourself: am I taking proper care of myself? Do I love myself enough? How can you expect to be there for your family 100% if you’re not feeling a 100%? Self-care is a topic that I love, so I recommend you read my blog on self-love and self-care and let me know your thoughts.
