Showing up requires that we first take care of ourselves and show up for ourselves first. Many parents/caregivers may feel that self care is a luxury...but it’s not. It’s vital for your well being as well as for your children and family.
When you take care of yourself and focus on self care every day, especially during these uncertain times, it can help you to show up in a more present and thoughtful way to your child or children.
Self care activities can be as simple as your favorite cup of coffee/tea or enjoying a nice longer than usual shower at the end of the day. Self care during these times can even be trying to get enough sleep, eating on time or even getting some exercise and movement in. It may look different for everyone and that’s okay!
What’s one micro self care activity you can enjoy every day that helps you relax, re-energize and makes you feel good?
