When we're not getting our self-care needs met, we aren't functioning optimally.
Our relationship with ourselves AND others suffer.
And needless to say, our parenting suffers.
When we feel depleted, we're just not as available to be there for others - such as our children - in the ways they need.
Here are my top FIVE current ways of keeping my own cup filled:
1.Taking 10-15 minutes before bedtime each night to let go of
the day by doing yoga poses and focusing on my breathing
2.Going for a walk almost daily (with or without my kids)
3.Pre-arranging 'me time at least 1-2 times a week so that I can do something that brings me joy/satisfaction (examples: walking on the beach, going to a yoga class, working on a creative project, etc.)
4.Getting regular, monthly massages
5.Coaching sessions (yes, I have my own coach)
Being on the receiving end of coaching is most certainly self-care for me...
I feel SEEN, HEARD, and UNDERSTOOD. Sessions help me gain clarity and leave me feeling empowered to show up in my life authentically and more connected.
And my own clients report having very similar experiences.
During sessions, clients are looking within, getting grounded and tuned in to their own needs and desires. They are learning new ways that serve themselves and their families better. My clients are literally transforming themselves and their parenting!
