Me time W
hen is your ME TIME? Being a good mum, good wife, seems to be more important than being good to ourselves. My lovely Nan has always told me “If you don’t take care of yourself, you cannot truly take care of anyone else” as you continue to run on empty! Do you think it could be time for you to look after you?
Ladies, we must make time for ourselves to be the best mum or wife. Sit down and have that cup of tea and ENJOY it, no thinking about the washing or ironing. Go for that well deserved massage with no guilt and return to your family refreshed, ready and wanting to give your best.
