How long did it take you to reclaim the “Me” in Mommy?

A  common question that I like to ask my clients is, “How long did it take you to reclaim the “Me” in Mommy after becoming a new mother?”  Take a minute right now and think about your answer.
In most case mothers are so busy adjusting to the constant changes of new stages, ages, attitudes and activities that the personal consistent “To Do” list takes a backseat to the demands of life.  Most of the time, we are surprised at our arrival of zero consistent actions for ourselves, forgetting what really looks good on us, personal favorite things to do for fun and to follow all of the advice that we give our children about creating a fulfilling life.
Many of  my clients consider the “Girls Night Out” events once every three months to be a sign of healthy adult stimulation and a tremendous outlet for venting with other friends that get it.  While, I am an advocate for the “girl time” events I know that ritual self-care is what will allow any mother to enjoy her life daily.  Did you ask, “What is ritual self-care?”
In my book, “Time for Mom-Me:5 Essential Strategies for A Mother’s Self-Care” I share  specific strategies that moms can apply to make taking care of yourself a daily routine just like brushing your teeth, combing your hair or eating a meal.  My philosophy on Mom-Me self-care has helped thousands of moms not only strike a balance in their lives but more importantly, learn how to design a balance way to live.  When we invest health, peace, love, joy and quality into ourselves we are then able to give those same gifts to those we love more freely.  This year, I encourage you  Learn How to start a Time for Mom-Me self-care group.
Live fully,
