Why is it so hard for us mommies to take a time out for ourselves. Could it be we are just too focused on our children to take a moment to think about ourselves. Could it be after running around all day we are just too tired to take a moment for ourselves. Could it be that we put ourselves at the bottom of the daily to do list and just never gets finished. I think it is all of the above, but I think that its so important that we do focus on ourselves a little bit each day.
This was my new years resolution. Take a hour everyday to focus on myself. How am I doing this you ask? I am going to go to the gym. I am finding myself being tired and sluggish with my children, so I drink coffee and soda to keep going. Which has made me unhealthy taking time off my life I am sure, which in turn takes me away from my children and possible grandchildren. I am personally not happy with the way I look which does not promote my children to have a positive self image if I cannot have one.
So this year I am taking an hour a day to get myself back. To give me more energy, to be healthier and happier. Because I know that one hour every day will make me a better mommy, wife and woman. So I challenge all of you fellow mommies to force yourself to spend just an hour a day making yourself happy. I choose to workout but it can be reading, sitting in silence or something creative. Just put yourself at the top of the to do list for just one hour!
