How To Practice Self-Care As A Mum
As mums, we often put ourselves last, ensuring that everyone and everything else is taken care of before we think about tending to our own needs. How are we supposed to be well-functioning human beings when we forget to take time to manage our own needs?
In times like these, we need to reinvent self-care; it doesn't have to involve going out to a restaurant, spending a day at the spa, or anything fancy at all. Here are my go-to self-care practices at home:
Pilates
Meditation
Epsom salt bath with essential oils
Face mask / Hair mask
Solo walk
Read or listen to a book
FaceTime a loved one
Pilates is stress-relieving, rejuvenating, and relaxing. Not only is Pilates one of the most versatile forms of exercise, but it's also one of the most enjoyable and therapeutic. Regardless of your reason for practising Pilates, it can be one of the greatest expressions of self-care.

So, please take care of yourself, Mama. You can always find your way home.
