Day 94
Share
What a great last couple of days I have had. 2024 is my year of health and I have really been kind to myself. Yesterday and today the kids were at daycare. Usually I would have prioritised the house, then work and then myself, but I have rearranged that to myself, work and then the house. And I’ll tell you what, I feel so good for it. I feel refreshed, I feel happy and all I want to do when my kids are home is play with them. I’m not wishing them away, I’m enjoying every moment, because I have had a minute to unwind and rest so my nervous system is calm. My needs are met. So many people judge mothers for doing things for themselves, but everyone is so much happier when I’m feeling calm. Nick and I get on so much better when I have taken time out for me, and I am a much better parent. I went a bit overboard this week, I do admit. It’s my birthday on Sunday and I’m having a girls night so I really wanted a fresh mani and pedi for that, and I also bought myself some new shoes and a dress. However, even though I know I went overboard with it the activities, not once did I feel guilty. Because I DESERVE THIS. And so do my children.
