when I became a mom, I started neglecting myself. I prioritized my kids, and their needs. I started gaining weight, eating bad, sleeping late, and making sure they had everything they needed at the expense of myself care. it was impossible to take care of myself because we didn't have any help. then I realized one day, my kids would see me and I would be a shell of myself and they would take that as permission to do the same thing. I would never want my children to neglect themselves. so, I made a decision to start taking care of myself. I made sure to try to balance taking care of them and making room for me too. being a mom doesn't mean being a doormat and completely losing ourselves in process. taking care of myself is setting an example for them that they should never neglect their dreams, gifts, or fullest potential. we can be both and do both ❤️
it's going to be hard but it was going to be hard either way. might as well commit to the process of working hard for the path that we choose.
