Take care of YOU!

Eating well is one of the basics of self-care. Busy moms often forget to eat or they skip meals and then eat whatever is handy.
Complex carbohydrates (whole grain bread, pasta, fruit) gives long-lasting energy, as do protein foods that are low in fat (like broiled chicken or fish.) Foods that are high in fat can be draining because they take more energy for your body to digest.
Feed your soul.
Take Time for YouAllow yourself time alone. Time where you are focusing on yourself.
Find a place in your house where you can go and find solitude. It might be an entire room, or just one area that you have set aside.
Ask your partner to take the rest of the family out for the morning while you stay home and begin to remember what it's like to be all alone.
Do nothing, sleep, watch a love story that nobody else wants to see, read old letters ... Just enjoy your solitude.
Let the day unfold, totally unscheduled.
