A sustainable selfcare practice takes thought and planning. It requires you to make choices about what you really want, what is important and what is actually possible. It sometimes means letting some things go and it always requires making yourself a priority. Learning to put self first is challenging for women especially moms because many of us are not in the habit of prioritizing our selfcare. But the keyword is practice. It takes work to build that selfcare muscle but it is worth the investment because not practicing selfcare can affect every aspect of your life… your parenting, your marriage, your relationships, your work.
You can find magazines, newspapers, blogs and vlogs all touting the top 5, 10 or 25 ways to practice selfcare. But you will be hard pressed to find many that give you practical steps or tools to actually incorporate selfcare into your daily life on a consistent basis. No one shows you the routines that need to be in place, how to rearrange and delegate all the to-dos, or how to prioritize time in your busy mom life.
This workbook is designed to walk you through creating a plan for daily practice of selfcare that will support your mental, spiritual, social, physical, and emotional health. Due to the nature of this process, your plan will be personalized so as to take into account your schedule, mental and physical health needs, finances, etc... Putting a selfcare plan in place will help make sure that you have the wellbeing you need to run your life and not allow your life to run you into the ground.
