Sometimes I actually need to say this to myself. We all know that self care is important. We all know that it we need to make time for ourselves. We all know that the cliche that if we don’t take care of yourselves then how can we take care or anything else?

We all know all of this. But we also know about Mom guilt. We spend every minute of every day worrying about our kids and all of the things that we are doing right or wrong.

But is showing our kids how to make time for themselves really wrong? Is it wrong for our children to see that we do take care of ourselves? Is it wrong for our kids to see that grown ups need time for fun too? Or that grown ups just need time with other grown ups?

You are not a bad Mom for taking time for yourself!

Go ahead, read it again. Then share this message with a friend because every single mom you know doubts herself sometimes. Even that mom that looks like she has it all together. Please send this to her. Share it on your page, share it on your story, or shout it from the mountain top. But most important whisper it to yourself when that mom guilt starts to set in.

During this unprecedented time moms are working, keeping our families safe and even teaching our own kids. This is not what we were looking for when we said that we wanted to have it all. We can try to balance everything that is expected of us right now. Or we can just slow down and take a step back and just try to take care of ourselves so that we can take care of everyone else. We need to make time for ourselves.

You are not a bad mom for taking time for yourself!
