When we step into uncertainty – it can rack up some big emotions. So it’s good to know that change can help us towards attaining personal self-care goals. Thank you, Jen.

That’s great to hear, Money, and I’m glad this post resonated with you. The recognition of the need for self-care is a big step already. Choosing to practice self-care is a great commitment towards yourself and wellness. Thanks for stopping by.

As a mother I feel it’s hard to find the time to do so. I am going to work on it.

I can understand where you’re coming from, Rosita. We can only do our best. I’m happy to hear you’ll be doing the 7 Days Self-Care Commitment. It’s an important action in caring for yourself, taking that first step! Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks, Rosita.

Usually, it’s a lack of motivation for me. My 18 month old wants me to hold him 24/7 and he cries when I try and do other things while holding him. So I do my best, to do things for myself, but some days I just don’t have the energy. I’m looking forward to the self-care commitment.

24 hours seem fleeting for us busy moms. Our mental health being at risk. Thank you, Adriene.

There is never enough time in the day, and constant guilt when we do something for ourselves. It is super important to maintain our sanity, so we need to carve out the time.

This is where we set our boundaries when it comes to our self-care. It can be challenging, yes. We only need to try and like you said, it just might work. Thanks, Evie.

It’s hard enough just to get an uninterrupted shower left alone time to recharge and reenergize when you have kids. But if you schedule it and everyone knows, that just might work.
