As a mother who's full time job is to provide the comfort, love and needs of my family sometimes it is important to do something for myself. I find the art of balancing taking care of myself and "losing myself in the service of others" so that I may "find myself" difficult. Despite this a few weeks ago I was pondering the things I have done for myself over the past few years and decided to share with y'all my top two "take care of Mom" things. They are:
First is that I have gotten in the habit of working out 5-6 days a week. This was NOT an easy habit to form and isn't an easy habit to keep. Despite this effort it is really worth it! I am happier about myself, get more done, have more energy, am more diciplined..... The list goes on and on.
Second is more of a pampering thing. I had Laser Hair Removal done! I LOVE it! It was worth every pennny (thanks Jill for making it affordable)! If any of you out there are considering it I say "Go For It!" If you live in the Phoenix area I recommend "Laser Perfection by Jill" she is great and really inexpesive!
I hope that as you strive to find the perfect balance of serving others and taking care of yourself you may find things that you love just as much as I have!
