If self-care isn’t your gig, or feels super indulgent, remember this: You’re not doing this for yourself, or at least not only for yourself. You’re doing it for your children, your relationship with them, and a calmer family dynamic overall. You’re also doing it to feel less like a crazy person who keeps exploding all over the place. You can also think of all of this as Shit You Have to Do So You Won’t Lose Your Shit with Your Kids, if that helps you feel better about doing it.
