Must forgotten

So much on your plate, thank you for sharing. I often suggest thinking of things you did for pure joy as a kid and seeing if there are ways to work it into your schedule. Mothers helpers are a more economical way to have help at home so you can rest or do something at home for YOU. The @undomesticmom has mothers helper info on Instagram

Hi Keosha, I wish I had some amazing advice for you. I can only imagine how difficult it must be to carve out a few moments for yourself. Maybe there is something you can do that gives you joy while feeding your youngest? Breast feeding didn’t work for us, but I’m sure by now you have it to a science 😊 One thing that helped me start my journey to self care was speaking with a therapist. I do Telehealth once a week and my therapist gives me lots of self care ideas, and is in general a confidant for me to express myself. Prayers for you and your family! Easier days will come! 💙

Hi Keosha! I understand your frustration completely! It can get extremely overwhelming being the caretaker in everyone else’s lives and fall accustom to a lifestyle. I’d recommend finding short and sweet 5-15 minute increments in between your day for yourself. It’s not long, it’s not a lot, but it always helps and reminds you to be self-aware about your feelings and intentions. Start by listening to an audio, reading a book, journaling, spending that time not engaging on social media but sinking into yourself. Ask yourself, “if I were to take myself on a date, what would I like to be surprised with?” Then plan and go do that thing. It sounds easier said than done, but a small compound interest with investing in yourself will result in so many amazing opportunities that you haven’t even fully embraced. I hope this helps and I wish you the best on your journey. Keep being amazing and dedicated. Your family needs you whether you realize it or not.
