Three Questions to Boost Your Self Care

Three questions to amp up your self-care!

It may sound backwards, but I bet my life on it – in parenting, the most essential element is taking care of yourself.

Your perception of your life (especially your parenting) is influenced by how you feel.

When you are tired, or worried, or drained, or thinking that you’re not doing good enough, or not in the groove with YOU –

then it’s way harder to feel confident as a parent and to connect with those around you.

Self-care directly influences how you see and respond to the people in your world.

When you neglect your self-care, all the information in the world can’t help you.

It’s up to you to be gentle. To be mindful. To care for yourself.

That’s how you can change your internal state.

And when you do that – life shifts. 

Take a moment to answer these questions in the comments and notice what comes up!

1. What can I say to myself to help me stay connected to me?

2. What sound/sight/taste makes me feel better about life?

3. How can I bring those into my life every single day?

 

I can’t wait to read your answers!

Much love,

Carrie

Example answers to the questions: “I am secure in all my decisions.” The sound of running water, and the smell of lemons. I could put a bowl of lemons on my desk. And I could put an alarm on my phone to remind myself to say “I am secure in all my decisions,” throughout the day.
